	If there is 2x OR 3x Penalty
		Get Teams on offending alliance
		Record score difference [for future statistics]
For-Each (Teams-on-offending-alliance)
	Repeat score evaluation for their next match
	If there is 2x OR 3x Penalty
		Get Teams on offending alliance
		Record score difference [for future statistics]

I believe something similar was suggested back during the season. The problem is obtaining data. G14 is calculated before penalties were applied. The scores in the FIRST database (and TBA) are post-penalty.

I prefer Paul Copioli's take on it: "I'll take a G14 every match, because that means I will win the tournament."
