Yes, I do understand the scoring system of football. Kaatsen, a Dutch sport has even a weirder scoring system, which appears to be a bit similar to tennis.

As far as I know, it comes down to:
6 points for a touchdown
1 for conversion (after touchdown)
2 for special conversion (after touchdown)
2 for safety (the only way to score defensively, unless of course defence makes an interception and scores a touchdown after that, without a break in play)
3 for a penalty.
