So It's an expression of uncertainty (one of the signs of the subjunctive). I was hoping someone knowledgeable would come along soon and clear this up. Thanks rabbit. Well put! - Acelata, Nov 27, 2011

Yup, it's subjunctive.
I think in this case it's subjunctive because you don't know who in particular has more points, it's not one specific person, it's whoever happens to have the most points.
I think it's the same as "Busco alguien que tenga un ordenador" I want to find ANYONE who has a computer. "Busco alguien que tiene un ordenador" I'm looking for this guy, let's call him Steve. He has a computer.
