I choose an arbitrary number. Your score would still work.
Red 445 Blue 290
445 - 290 = 155
100 - 155 = 0

Both teams get 0 RP

As was asked, I came up with an idea. Numbers can be changed to work with the scoring scheme. I like 100 as it stops blowouts as can be seen by your scores. If the score had been 445 - 444 then the winning alliance would get 99 RPs and the losing 66 RPs.
