Incomplete teams and GA score question.

This is mostly about Bane, right (although there could be other cases when you want to use a smaller team, like 3 sith in 5x5). I did come across that you’ll get more points for defeating opponents with an incomplete, smaller team. However, in reality Ive got fewer points as there were fewer toons alive at the end (well, just one :-) So, I’ve started adding Bane to full 5 Sith teams to avoid losing points, which kills his rule of two, and is therefore silly. In fact, I’ve lost the last round by 4 points difference because of that, as I thought I’ll win that one even without using the rule of two (and I didn’t). So, is having an incomplete team inherently cursed by a few missing points and so should be avoided as much as possible? Shouldn’t a win with fewer fighters be rewarded instead? Thanks!
