How the points work

Hello all,
I was wondering if someone could help me understand how the points work on the servers. Recently I was playing on Squid's server when I was killed about six times, losing almost 80 points. So I figured I'd get 15 points per kill too. Well I didn't, I never got 15 ppk I always got 4 - 12 points, most of the time 4 and 6. I felt like I was being cheated, getting kills and not getting credit.
That's when I thought maybe it mattered how many points they have. But I'm still confused because I had 1400 and killed someone with 2000 and got only 12 points. So how does this funky system work? Thanks for your help.
