A novel strategy: Always score for your opponents

good luck getting picked. A lot of teams have already said if they catch you scoring for your opponents they will never pick you.

These teams are most likely the ones that haven't read the manual. If they knew that scoring for your opponents actually benefits your ranking, then guess what, they would be doing it too.

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?
