This would work out as:
Your alliance - (19 x 5 + 20(bonus balls)) x 2(multiplier) + 2 hanging = 330 pts
Their alliance - (17 x 5 + 20(bonus balls)) x 2(multiplier) + 2 hanging = 310 pts
your max points = 310 pts and the win of course
I get a different result, taking into account that there are the HP balls that you didn't account for and there and 3 multiplier balls:

Your alliance - (13 * 5 + 20(bonus balls)) * 4(multiplier) + 2 hanging = 440
Their alliance - (29 * 5 + 20(bonus balls)) * 2(multiplier) + 2 hanging = 430
your max points = 430 pts and the win of course
