If I am reading this correctly this means that the formula for the winning team A is S=P+2L

Where S is the seeding score; P is the penalized score of the winning team, and L is the un-penalized score of the losing team.

So say the Red Alliance wins over the Blue Alliance 15-0 but incurred 3 penalties.

The Red seeding score would be 15 and the Blue seeding score would be 18.

Is this correct? Am I missing something? If not I believe this to be the only downfall of this game.
This is correct.

It's not a downfall, though. It's like <G14> last year: making it clear that blowing out an opponent is a bad thing.

Official: Post to Q&A-->GDC reviews-->Official answer posted on Q&A.

Unofficial: Post to CD-->CD views and comments, sometimes using The Manual and interpreting it-->Somebody goes the Official route -->Answer gets posted on CD eventually, as a quote from Q&A.

Which one takes longer for an official ruling? Therefore, which one makes more sense to use?
