Lucas, as I said the game doesn't need to enforce it but it's highly desirable. At the moment the game is rather hands-off -- just providing the raw information (flags, frags, deaths and score) and sorting the teams by flags, frags, score and then -deaths. I think it needs to be universally decided. If not it leads to disputes, and generally ambiguity. People all need to be playing the same game!
Many games even go as far as hiding frags and deaths to discourage "ratio-whoring"; I just propose you eliminate them from the criteria for winning so there is an incentive to attack.
Yes, can the mods please fix that typo ("frags" -> "flags"). Now fixed. Thanks!
Also I should point out the analogy to football. When teams get 1-1 in football it doesn't matter which team had more possession or more yellow cards. Those stats are interesting, and hence they are often provided in match analysis, but they don't affect the result.
It's also simpler in some sense.

Flags?
