You're absolutely right, and The Lucas (another member of team 365) also pointed that out to me. I forgot about how some of this year's teams would deliberately move out of their home zone at the end of the game to reduce the number of QP's the winning team received. So, let's modify my scoring proposal to the following:
In Qualification Rounds, the winning alliance receives Qualification Points equal to 3 times the score of the losing alliance. If all three of the robots in the losing alliance score points by being in their end zone or being on the bridge, the losing alliance receives Qualification Points equal to the score of the winning alliance, otherwise they receive qualification Points equal to their score.
I know it makes scoring the game more complicted, but it provides the needed incentive for each side to try their best to score the most points all the time.
