This is all assuming a fair-played match with no collusion.
Exactly; the new seeding score is normalized by the difference in score. In the old system, beating a team 75-10 was the same as beating them 75-74. In the new system, it rewards you for having a close score (or, if you're already high, it rewards you for scoring for the other team).
