I don't limit the top possible score, but cap the team portion of the grade (weighted by the peer evaluations) at 100%.

Jennifer,

Each of my teams has 10 points per teammate to distribute, not including himself or herself. There is no minimum that a teammate may receive, but I do set a maximum of 12. In a team of 6, 5 members can receive a 12 only if 1 member receives a 2, and all team members score each other similarly.

I use the scores as a multiplier of the team grade, where a 1 point difference in a peer evaluation score equals a 10% difference in grade. Therefore a score of
12 means that person will receive 120% of the team points.

Is that similar to your method? It seems that your concern is with the students who are receiving much higher scores. Would setting a maximum score help?
