Yes same as last year.
When you are ranked for elimination rounds, you are first ranked according to how many matches you have won.. 2pts for a win, 1pt for tie, 0pt for lose.
Then, if you have say, 3 teams that are each undefeated, then they rank you by your ranking score - which is average of all the losers' scores you obtained from each match (if it's a tie, you get your own match score for points).
So if you cream the opponents 100pts to 5pts, you won the match, which is good, but it doesn't potentially help you too much in the long run.

So it's in your best interest not to annihilate your opponents because you may go undefeated, but you could still end up in 3rd, 4th, 5th + place going into elims, due to the ranking points.

It's explained well in the manual starting 8.3.3...
