Before 2012, that was the case. Penalties, as they were called then, were subtracted from the score of the alliance that committed them. In 2012, that was changed to fit the basketball theme. Apparently, the Foul system was well-liked enough to make at least one return.

Call it "Opp. Fouls" (noting that they're opposing alliance fouls resulting in points).
