Pongie said: Players do not compete across different scl levels in pve. A bracket is limited to one scl ie. scl9 players are only competing against other scl9 players in their brackets. For alliance totals though, I can see what you mean by scl9 players are out scoring scl10 players. It really depends if the small number of points difference actually affect alliance rank enough to push them to a different reward tier in the ranks. Unlike personal leaderboards, alliance ranks are not separated by a few points.
