Use the rules in your strategy and to your advantage.
There seems to be a misunderstanding about RS. It has nothing to do with score differential, only with the losing teams score. If the losing team only gets 36 points, that's all you get, regardless of your own score. If you win 38-36, it is no better for RS than winning 135 to 36. The G14 doesn't enter into RS.

On another note though, your average score is the tiebreaker for two teams with identical W/L records and RS. It was the strategic goal of my team to receive a G-14 every match. If the real time scoring had been accurate, we would have boosted the other team's score by scoring on our own trailer, but having seen 70 point swings from real time to final score, we decided that we needed to score as much as possible.
