Morphology
The noun-noun compound is directly compositional: 'point' denotes a scoring unit and 'system' denotes an organized set of rules, so 'point system' straightforwardly means a method that uses points for evaluation. This is a common, cross-linguistic construction and follows standard English compounding patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun point system for scoring comes from using small points like marks or tokens to count good or bad actions, so people could add or take away points. That's why it means a method where points are given or taken away to judge or rank someone.
