I think something is going wrong with the calculations :-(

I have roughly 40 bugs in my mile after today's clearances.

If bugs are worth up to 12 points in penalties each day, then that's 3 points per penalty allocation (4 a day).
If all the bugs were on my doorstep, that should be 3x40 = 120 points
Most of them are further away but taking 1/2 mile as an average, that should be 1.5x40 = 60 points.
So how come I got 189 penalty points at 6pm today?

Are the bugs sitting in piles so it looks like one bug from above but there's actually several in the same place? :-(
At least I'm only getting one set of penalty charges each six hours though! :-)

No double penalties here.

I got almost 60,000 points from a 15 miler! That's almost a 50% increase in points just from one run. And saw a Fetchie when I was about a mile and a half from home: that and the rain which had set in had me running almost my fastest mile at the end to get in and upload the run :-)

Duchess I think it is 12 points four times a day, so a max bug penalty of 48 points per day. Taking your average of 0.5 miles away is a penalty of 6 points per bug four times a day. 40 bugs x 6 points = 240 points (four times in the day). Looks like you got away lightly with only 189 points deducted ;)

Only single penalties for me but something must be up. Got my 5th Garmangle yesterday and today I have not one but two! Spotted 3 new bugs so far so I'm sure there must be a 4th one hiding too.
