Rule Clarification for Multiple Checks

The rules related to multiple checks should be clarified... I mistakenly thought a "standard" double check (i.e. a move causing multiple pieces to simultaneously attack one king) would be awarded with points.  Was anyone else confused by this?

Rule should instead be worded "A move placing 2 opponents in check simultaneously will be awarded +5, and 3 opponents simultaneously will be awarded +15" or something to that effect.

I thought it was perfectly clear when I saw it

I was mistaken too.

Same

I thought it was pretty clear because it said 'triple-checks' afterward. But I agree that it could be confusing at a glance, so it might be good to change the wording.

Reading the rule, I thought the bonus was awarded to a player checking a king already in check by another player.  Hence the possibility to double or triple check.

I also thought that.

I agree. An interesting fact: in Chinese chess (Xiangqi) quadruple checks are possible, although rare. Triple checks are more common.

I got confused too until someone did a double-check when I was playing. After that, I got confused for a second and got over it.

The part that confused me was that only checks by the piece that moved and discovered checks (even if the attacker is by an enemy piece) is what counts. 

To clarify what I mean:

Thanks for helping out @Martin0

Very well, will be on the lookout for the possibility to benefit from the rule !

 it should be worded better
