Rider/Bonus points question?

[SBOEDog]

I’m sure this has been answered many times, so I apologize in advance if it is redundant. I know that teams get 2 bonus points for every win that a defeated opponent has and 1 bonus point for every win that a non-defeated opponent has. Got that piece. Are there extra bonus points awarded for playing lower classification teams. I seem to recall something like that. My example would be Briar Woods with 6 points for the Ft. Hill loss (makes sense as VHSL considers them the equivalent of a 2A) and they have 12 points in bonus points. Just trying to rationalize the 12 bonus points. Any light to be shed would be greatly appreciated
