• First to be knocked out gets 0pts
• Second to be knocked out gets 1pts

3. Points Calculation For Multiple Player Knockout

• If 3 players get knocked out, the remaining points will be divided amongst the defeated. 0+1+2=3 divided by 3 people. Each one gets 1pt.
• If 1 got knocked out before the remaining 2 got removed then 1+2=3 divided by 2 rounded up. They get 2pt each.
