Thumbs up/down scoring?
I know if you get best answer, you receive ten points plus a point for every thumbs up you get, but do the thumbs down have anything to do with a person's score? Is it just a way to show someone that their answer was bad?

TDs are not for "bad" answers, they are mostly used for differences in opinions. The only place they mean anything else is in for example the science categories, when someone can just give an incorrect answer, usually just math mistakes. They have no impact on scoring.
