The only issue I can see with the current system is when one team on an alliance is liable for the loss of the alliance. All penalties, and especsially back-bot penalties, are applied to the alliance, even though its possible one team was designed responsible for being backbot before the match. In this event, a team might lose a close match by another drive team's mistake, and then two teams are penalized for one teams actions, and that 2-point sway on a record can make a big difference at a regional with few qualifiers, or at Nationals.

Otherwise, the present system works fine and there is no reason for a change. A team's record demonstrates typically demonstrates how well and their robot having been performing at a competition.
