Hi Corey i am using this formula on the template that Stuart Murray made with the Forth road Bridge on it the formula works except it does not add on the points for a hit
I entered the formula into the points for playing on the game page and have added 1 point in the hits box

Thanks

The formula above should add 1 point for each hit.  That's the "+ nh" part (nh is a formula variable meaning "number of hits").  You don't need to enter anything in the "Points for hit" box on the Game tab.  If you do, the formula AND the "Points for hit" setting will both add 1 point for each hit, meaning each player will get 2 points for each hit.

Hi Corey this is what i get when i enter the formula it adds the point for Rank and for Playing but still not for any hits
Sorry i am new to this but does it not need to know how many points for each hit to give
I have attached a copy of main screen and the game screen
I may be missing something very simple

Thanks

As I said in the previous post, if you've got a "1" in the "Points for hit" box (which you do), and use the formula I gave which has the "+ nh" part (which you are), then you will be giving double (2) points for each hit.  Set "Points for hit" to "0" or remove the "+ nh" from the Points for Playing formula.

How do you know it is not awarding points for hits?  (You didn't include a screenshot of the Players tab showing ranks and points for each player, so I can't tell.)  When you bust players out of the tournament, are you specifying a hitman?  If you don't, then obviously "hits" cannot be computed and thus no points for hits will be awarded.
