[Spades] Tournament Winner (points)

Is the only thing that matters tournament points earned? The reason I'm asking is I've made some "improvements" to my script which lets it set opponent nils (fairly effectively I might add), but after running a few tournaments with the newer version against other iterations of my script, I couldn't help but notice something. The new script was winning something like 7-1 in tournament points since it tended to set itself sometimes when breaking the nil causing the game to go on longer since effectively each team just a bunch of points. The older versions were running something like 8-6 against the same scripts. Would the 8-6 be "better" for the tournament even though the 7-1 wins by much greater of a margin?

Well, 8 TPs is better than 7 TPs, but you also have to consider the opponents' points; in the long run, I think it's better to win 7-1 than 8-6... It is your choice, though...
