So far, in my little experience, I haven't had problems with people trying to abuse the mechanics to get draws, but if the thing is really considered an issue wouldn't it be more simple to simply calculate the AP alive remaining at the end of the match and give the win to the player who has more?
The No Draw Streak Bonus would be incentive to play another game, even a loss. It would also mean people who would be unlikely to make the top 100 would still be playing for something. Less people would play training and Q for MM instead. It would be more reason to play even if you have blown your chance at the rankings and it is close to reset.
Just a simple idea that could encourage good play and more games. This does not need to be instead of other victory conditions. I personally like the sound of the occupy a predetermined enemy zone for a few turns rather than chase runners. That seems like a pretty decent simple mechanic also.
