As far as wanting to be ranked well... meet with all 6 bots from your match, pick a side to score on and play a 6v0 game. If you end up scoring 20-0 in one alliances goals, and no one on the "winning" alliance takes a penalty, then all 6 of those teams will get 20 QPs.

This quite possibly may be the stupidest rule ever conceived. If its still around by week 4, I guarantee that teams will be exploiting it left and right.
Wouldn't you be better off with a 10-10 tie? All teams get 30 QP's?
