Both teams
Are these sentences correct with the given meanings:
1-All in all, both teams scored sixty points.
Meaning: the sum of all the points scored by both teams was sixty.
2-All in all, all of the teams scored sixty points.
Meaning: the sum of all the points scored by all the teams was sixty.
I don't think the sentences are correct. They both seem to be saying that 'each team scored sixty points".
Gratefully,
Navi.
