Hi,

i've never had a real look at the 3 points value during a match. Since the beginning of the season, I'm playing from outside. So I get a lot more 3 points tries then before.

Now, I just realized yesterday that even if I had 7 shots (3 points) in last game (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/72438297/boxscore.aspx), it still only «value» 1 points.

64 + 7 + 8 =79

It should worth 21 points, no? Meaning I should have win.

Since it was a match against the actual first place team in my division, I took more time after the match to understand how he beat me.

It seems to be a long issue (first game of the season http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/72398591/boxscore.aspx).

Thanks for your time...

Guillaume

You are doing the math wrong.

To the 32 total jump shots that you made, you have to take the 7 three points.

So it is: 32 - 7 = 25

25 x 2 + 7 x 3 + 8 = 79

I hope you understood what I wrote :)

Baavarick is right, this is not a bug and is actually described in the sticky topic "Read first, Known issues" under section non-bugs:

"Points don't add up: BuzzerBeater uses the American boxscore convention for showing the number of field goal attempts. The number under "FG" includes all field goals, including 3-pointers. (Example: (24565.1))"
