SQL Server outputs aggrigate functions on the field type of the field, thus
SUM, AVG etc. will remain an INT if they are an INT
If you want to have a FLOAT or NUMERIC as the return, then try;
SELECT ContestantID, SUM(CONVERT(FLOAT,AdjPoints)) as TOTALPTS
If the field isn't a numeric field type (i.e. DateTime or SmallDateTime)
then this (probably) won't give a decent answer anyway
