I agree, I don't think the team paired with the DQ'd team should get the same score. I don't think that DQ'd teams should get zero QPs though, considering some of the stupid things that get teams disqualified, i.e. going beneath the goals in 2002.

Also, I don't think the opposing alliance should be rewarded just because the other team screwed up. For example, in 2002, at the Canadian Regional, we had a robot that kept breaking down, so we were doing really bad in the rankings, then we played a match in which the other team was DQ'd because their go-home device rolled under a goal, and we got three times our own score, which turned out to be some sort of national record. That one match moved us up something like 20 spots. So I think that the winning team should only get maybe 2 x their score, while the DQ'd team gets 1/2, and the other losing team gets their own score.
