The actual normal distribution we are using to award qualification points to teams this year must be more normal than the approximate distribution the real world gives you from W-L-T... I suppose it makes sense that would benefit the middle class more than the tails.

Well, 2811's points would have looked something like this:
qualification 16
alliance selection 15
elimination 30
award 10 (?)

The points don't have to be directly awarded to a specific team to make them do something to the rankings. For example, if you took whatever team got the least points and gave them 200 extra points then not only does the first place team now have more points, but the second place spot now has the number of points that the previously 1st place team had. And the third place slot now has the team that used to be in second. So now most of the slots have moved up by 1-2 points each despite only one team's point total changing.
