Re: My case against <G14>
It seems like G14 is designed to alleviate some of the problems with the random matches. It takes far more skill to do well against a good team than it does to blow out a weak one, but they both get you a boatload of points. G14 is an attempt to get the legitimately skillful teams the best qualifying spots, as opposed to the luckiest ones.
That being said, it'll never work. As bduddy has stated, everyone will just sandbag like hell if there's a chance that it'll happen. Some may say that's not gracious professionalism, but how gracious is it to your teammates to incur a penalty on them by letting G14 happen?
I think the best way to avoid G14, if it's not removed, would be to throw out the super cells early to get the 10 point penalties. Having everyone play well and then adjust their scores with purposeful penalties to avoid G14 would be way more interesting than watching a team play poorly the whole match just so they don't score too much.
