If the other team did not get your points at the end of the match then dumping points into your score would be weird (when they could dump them in their own goal instead).

I definitely see your point. Yes, they are technically scoring points for themselves, but it is still demoralising when they send a barrage of poofballs towards your goal, on the scoreboard, giving you points. Ranking points are not displayed for everyone to cheer at - the game points are. When your alliance was so outplayed that the other team scored 30 points FOR you, you can no longer take credit for the score that is up there.

How about the flip side of this, when a team knows they are going to lose, so they stop playing, knowing their low score will hurt the team that is beating them?

If an alliance stops playing, knowing that the other team will be hurt by it, then they have already lowered the level of competition, and, as far as I am concerned, asked for their goal to be scored on. If they do not compete to the best of their abilities, to intentionally hurt the other team, they do not deserve to have pride.
