Points are based on a system that tracks wins and losses giving higher credit for higher courts.  The stats of subs don't count toward the points for each player.  So whether you had a sub, or you served as a sub, those points don't affect your season points results.  [FYI, if you're really curious about this, I do have ratings and results available that include "as-a-sub" results.]
