As the rule is now written, they really wouldn't be putting themselves in danger of having less balls to play with, in their next match would they.(Unless, I misread the rule).
This might put them in a difficult situation, especially if their alliance partners for that match still have a match to play.

I don't see anything that wipes out the blowout penalty going from Qualifying matches to Elimination matches. If you score big in your last match, you bring a burden with you into your Elim alliance.

I'm guessing he's talking about the tiered scheduling algorithm. Each Qualifying match alliance had a team from the lower 1/3 of team numbers, a team from the middle 1/3, and a team from the highes 1/3. This was under the vendor's theory that lower numbered teams were veterans, and that automatically made them better; upper number teams were rookies and that made them worse.
