A 18 point difference from the winner and the loser gets a 7 point SS difference? I agree with most of the earlier ideas that winner's points should not get included in the loser's SS.

If there's a 20-2 match, I say the alliance that only scored 2 deserves only 4 seeding points even if it means a 25 SS difference, since it isn't fair for a horrible alliance to get a big boost in seeding just because they got caught against 3 powerhouses.

With a 20-18 game, it was a narrow defeat, so I'm fine with the loser getting a nice big boost in seeding (36 loser points vs. 61 winner points. Makes much more sense than 18 vs. 61

Alternatively, what if the score difference subtracted from seeding points, such as this formula (winner remains same as current)
loser: (2*L)-(Difference/2) (nothing below zero)
