This causes both alliances to get a low score, which in qualification matches IS against the spirit of the game due to how the GDC has the scoring system this year... So even if you "win", you drop in rankings.

Man, I wish you guys were in Connecticut now...
The other side of the coin is what if you play as the GDC intended and run up scores all qualifying schedule long, possibly including a 6v0... and alliance captains decide that they would be disgusted to pick someone like you, because they have a personal prejudice against running up scores or avoiding defense? This is a bigger issue than I ever thought at the beginning of the season.
