Where ispointdroppedatrightdefined? If I comment out the corresponding line and try to compile your example, the points are calculated correctly.

@Freeman: There is a typo in the command. The only version I could find in the documentation contains the word point in its plural form:pointsdroppedatright. If I use this command in your example, the points are added up correctly.
