point value

What it earns

Point value is the numerical worth assigned to something within a scoring system.

In games and competitions, different achievements carry different point values: A touchdown has a point value of six.

In educational grading, assignments have point values that determine their weight in the final score.

Weight Watchers popularized the term for the dietary worth assigned to foods.
