I think the seeding system is trying to penalize the team that gets penalties. Look at it closely:

Note the bold text. If you win, you can either get the same or less points as the other team, depending on if you got penalties.

I also don't really get the Coopertition bonus. Is the only use of it just for seeding tiebreakers?
