Notes about the points awarded (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remarks

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

'notes' is the definition.
('remark' can be a synonym of 'note')

'about the points awarded' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is found within the answer.
'points' could be 'marks' (I've seen this before) and 'marks' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for remarks that I've seen before include "Comments, observations" , "See 14" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
