Interviewed: Your scouts have invited this player to a workout at your team's facilities. Along with all of the information you have learned from the initial scouting, you now have a very good understanding of this player's current skills (grade rating) and potential abilities. You also discover how tall the player is and whether he is 18 or 19 years old. Interviewing a player uses an additional 2 scouting points.


I couldn't find the topic or the forum for this to post to, so it's probably misplaced. However, an should be omitted from the bolded sentence.

why? the sentence is perfectly correct. otherwise, it could be written as: "Interviewing a player uses 2 additional scouting points."
however, just omitting the "an" makes the sentence incorrect, since you are starting a noun sentence with an adjective.

Yeah, yeah, somehow I managed to miss the longest word in the sentence and read it as an two points. Close and forget :)
