The idea I threw out for this a few years ago (which I still like) is Fibonacci scoring (e.g. matches in round 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... would be worth 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc points). This is still exponential (the ratio between point values of matches in successive rounds very quickly converges to ~1.61), but goes up slower than powers of 2 and you still get integer point values.
