They've gone from:
Winner's QP = 3x (Loser's score)

to:

Winner's QP = 2x (Loser's score) + Winner's score

Hopefully they will at least go to:
Winner's QP = Loser's score + Winner's score

this year.
If they do that, there is no incentive to keep the score close. The better alliance will blowout the other one and score just as many points as if they gave themselves half+1 and the other team half-1. There needs to be a 2x, 3x, 4x, whatever multiplier if you want to keep teams from destroying each other, unless there are enough points for both alliances to score well.
