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.

i disagree -

if you are winning 135 - 36, you should start scoring on yourself to push up the other alliances score, so that it is 135 - 100. You get the win, you get of RS.
