That's a fantastic idea, by the way. Thanks for the handy app. Now I just need an iPhone version.

A "defection" in a one-sided match will result in a few more QPs for the winner (only 2 per goal). A "defection" in a high scoring intentional tie (say 7-7 going to 8-7) results in a massive seeding points loss for the loser, they go from 21 seeding points down to 8. If instead they had chosen to go 14-0 for one alliance a single defection would give them 14 points and their opponent 16.
