I'm not familiar with BJJ rules so I can't make a full comment.
However, if the rules are basically as you state them to be: 1 point for sub attempt, 1 for passing guard, etc. then I see no possible way for the judges to use this.

Would you have the judges tally mark their scorecard and then score the round based on who had more BJJ points?

I agree with Dana White that a round should be awarded on who does the most damage. Generally that coincides with aggression and octagon control, but not always. See TUF episode 5 as an example.

The rules could probably be better, but the UFC is stuck where it's at.
Someone will be upset no matter what the rules are.
The current rules are effective most of the time. Leave 'em.
