The Breakaway scoring system is exceptionally simple: one point added for each ball scored in the alliance's goal, one point deducted per penalty (some actions receive a double penalty), two point bonus for elevation, and three points bonus for suspension. The alliance with the highest score at the end of the match is the winner.
Perhaps your confusion is due to the fact that you're calling it a scoring system, when it's actually a
seeding points system. The goal of that system seems straightforward to me: encourage teams to win by scoring higher than their opponents, as opposed to preventing the opponents from scoring.
