You're right, the 3x multiplier for winning puts too much emphasis on high scores, which I'm sure was FIRST's intent. But with this system, a team the loses with a score of 100 gets more qualifying points than a team that wins with a score of 30. Does this make sense?

My suggestion is to have a fixed number of qualifying points (say 200) added to your score for winning. Taking the same example, a winning score of 30 gets you 230 QPs rather than just 90. I think this would make for more exciting matches because there would be more incentive to win rather than just score big.
