What teams really should do (in the spirit of GP) is to send one team representative to alert their following match alliance of the possibility of losing a super cell and perhaps asking if the strategy for that up coming match is dependent on the super cell.

That may be a valid idea, but it's beside the point.
Whether or not Team B planned to get 3x the score or not, or alerted my alliance that they were getting 3x the score or not, they did. And now my team is paying the price for actions committed by another team in a match we didn't even participate in.
Even having a fair warning beforehand does not make that situation fair to my team.
To take it a step further, what if Team B's partner in the previous match, Team D, did it intentionally? Team A (my team) is ahead of Team D in the standings, and they know that Team B is paired with us next. So Team D then decides to triple the score of the opponents to put my alliance at a disadvantage in our match.
