What's the points system in Domination?

[The Bagwhan]

How are teams points allocated in Domination (or any game for that matter) and is there any point in actually capturing the flags? You seem to get rewarded points anyway. Do you earn more points for a kill if you have more flags?
I was playing the other night and one of the guys on my team was urging everyone to capture a certain flag, like it made a difference (B on Estate, I think). Are some flags better than others?

IMHO, I think that on some maps, certain flags are easier to hold/defend than the others - thus players will communicate their desire to capture certain flags on specific maps to the team.
I would assume all points for flag capturing/holding are the same. I believe you are awarded 150 points for every flag capture you are a part of.
Not sure if kill-points-to-flags-held ratio has any effect. I know you get many more bonus points at the end if your team wins the round.

I would like to know this also because I have won Dom games when my team only held 1 flag for most of the match only getting all three for a very short time. Then there are games where my team holds all three or just two for the whole of the match and we get owned.

+1 the flags are the only thing that matter in that game the longer and you hold them and the more you hold the more you will win

should be pretty obvious. You get 1 point for each flag you hold for 1 second (not sure about exact time)

You get 150 points or equivalent to 3 kills for capping a flag, 150 for killing a player defending a flag, also 150 for defending a flag against someone trying to cap it.

It's a great way for beginners to level up quickly. Players who go in domination for k/d and kill harvesting often finish lower than players actually playing objectives.
