Scratched yet got some points (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scored

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scratched' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'got some points' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'points' could be 'score' (I've seen this before) and 'score' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'yet' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scored that I've seen before include "Marked" , "Kept count" , "Cut" , "Got a goal" , "Put the ball in the net, or scratched" .)
