Here is my thinking:
High ranking points score implies that you either tended to lose, but went down fighting, or you tended to win, but your opponents still tended to be effective. Essentially, your matches tended to be close.

A low ranking points score might mean that you tend to lose and rarely score points, or you are a very powerful team that tends to blow out their opponents such that they never score any points.

Is this correct? I probably got the winning side wrong, since I'm unsure of the scoring mechanism for that.

I watched 1565 at GTR, and they always tended to score 3-4 ringers per match, but were always just barely outclassed by their opponents.

I remember last year, in order to give themselves good ranking points, it wasn't uncommon for a team to score balls for the opposing alliance to prevent those ownage matches. If I remember right, in one match, a team scored in the opponents goal, and had their score within a couple points of theirs, finished the match, but had a 10 point penalty called on them for some reason and lost the match...
