- Ranks are decided by substracting the turn time from the amount of points. Greater sums rank higher.

It doesn't make sense to me. Turn time in seconds? Amount of points will always be less than turn time, score will be negative ???
We can't substract in different measurement ???

I agree, units should have been specified. But looking at the scores of submissions so far, it looks like turn time in seconds. This would make the unit-safe formula: Score = (shotguns left) * (2 points / shotgun) - (Turn time used) * (1 point / second)
