English grammar is hard enough for those of us who speak it natively. For
someone who comes
from a language where grammar is straight forward, our language can seem
ridiculous.
-adverb
1. without others or anything further; alone; solely; exclusively: This
information is for your
eyes only.
2. no more than; merely; just: If it were only true! I cook only on
weekends.
3. as recently as: I read that article only yesterday.
4. in the final outcome or decision: You will only regret your harsh words
to me.
-adjective
5. being the single one or the relatively few of the kind: This is the
only pencil I can find.
6. having no sibling or no sibling of the same sex: an only child; an only
son.
7. single in superiority or distinction; unique; the best: the one and
only Muhammad Ali.
-conjunction
8. but (introducing a single restriction, restraining circumstance, or the
like): I would have
gone, only you objected.
9. Older Use. except; but: Only for him you would not be here.
-Idiom
10. only too,
a. as a matter of fact; extremely: I am only too glad to go.
b. unfortunately; very: It is only too likely to happen.
So do you mean to say that 3 will add to the penalty box score?
If that is true, it is probably better to say 3 = adds to the penalty box score
(I added the article
"the") removing any amiguity.
