Imagine such a rule in professional sports -

Todays score was Yankees 10, Sox 4, giving the Yankees the win and 7 QPs (average of the scores) for the Pennant.

Today the Colts beat the Bears 21 - 7, giving the Colts a Win and 42 QPs (their score plus 2x the losers score) and the Bears 7 QPs.

Today the Pacers and the Bulls played a great game. Initially, the Bulls we thought to be the winner, but there were 3 red flags (-5 points each) against the Bulls, helping the Pacers comeout on top (they were penalty-less). The 102 - 90 win gives the Pacers 192 QPs and the Bulls 90 QPs toward their division rankings.

This would certainly add another dimension to the games..
Qualifying points are closely related to World Cup Soccer rules, where you get 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie and 0 for a loss. Tiebreaker is point differential.
