Morphology
The meaning 'a set of rules or methods used to assign points, grades, or rankings' is directly compositional from 'scoring' (assigning scores) + 'system' (a formal set of rules). This noun+noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Scoring system comes from the simple image of judges or referees writing numbers on cards or a board to show who gets more points. The word scoring is the act of giving 'points' and system is the set of rules they follow, so scoring system means the rules or method used to give points, grades, or ranks.
