As to alliances, I think that qualifying points would go to both (or all?) teams in the alliance, just as was the case in 99.
The difference would be that if we toss out the high and low scores they may or may not be counted in the average qualifying points per match calculation.
For example an alliance may score 400 points for their win but this may be the highest score for one team and thus not be counted in their total while it was not the highest score for the other team and therefore was included in their calculation.
As to teams keeping track of what they need to score or what they need to hold their opponent to in order to get lots of bonus points, I propose that FIRST periodically post the current average score and the current standard deviation.
In this way teams could get a clue as to what type of scores they need. Also, I would advise FIRST to try to post the qualifying point total that that the teams scored in addition to there match total (though perhaps on another screen -- too much info already to digest).
