If you get a bunch or answers is there number for points? Do you only get points when you select best answer? I am wandering how the point system works here. For the best answer you get 10 points!

All levels can pick a best answer to questions they ask and can vote for best answer on others' undecided questions. Once you hit level 2 & get the ability to 'rate', the only difference in the levels is the daily limits on questions, answers, comments, votes, etc.
Levels 2 and up can 'rate' the answers of other Y!A users. Rating = giving Thumbs Up & Down to express your opinion of other peoples' answers. No points are involved (unless a best answer has TUs, then they get 1 point for each TU up to 50) in rating, and thumbs do not determine the Best Answer selection.
Asking a question costs 5 points. You earn points like this:
answer your limit of questions each day (2 points each)
get an answer selected as best answer (10 points each)
pick a best answer for your question (3 points)
vote your limit of unresolved questions each day (1 point each)
you also get a point a day for signing in

No. You lose 5 points for asking. You can drop that loss to 2 points by picking a best answer. Each best answer is 3 points added back.

No- you lose 5 points for asking a question and get 2 points for answering a question.
Asking a question costs 5 points to to encourage participating and answering more than asking question. If people don't lose points asking, then there will be lots of spamming and flooding with silly and obscene stuff (a lot more than there is now) and no one would come to answer.
