This year I saw some teams go and shoot balls in the higher goal of the their opponents, so they would have a higher QP. It makes sense, but you can really make some teams think that you think they can't do it. So you could subtract points from the teams that scores for the other. Example: Red scores 15pts on their own and Blue scores 50+pts in the match. Blue wants more QP's, and scores 15pts for Red making their total 30pts. All of the Red teams would get the 30pts and the Blue teams would get 15pts. This would mean that either Blue lets Red score more or they don't score for them. This sounds like its an OK solution but not a perfect one for stoping it.
Instead of not giving the winning alliance the points they scored, take those away from the points the other alliance actually scored. So, using your example the Blue alliance would get 0 points. Reds 15 - their 15 they scored for Red = 0. This would greatly discourage scoring for your opponent.
