NO!NO!NO!  You don't lose points if you bust zero point qso's!!!  

Count the points for the -b and -n qso's and multiply by 4, it should total
the same as the points removed.

Look at my 160m one below:

LINE CODE CALLSIGN(#-BAND-LOGS) [POSSIBLE-CALLS(#-band-logs)[code]]
---- ---- ---------------------------------------------------------
   5  U K2WH (2) K2WA(132) K2PH(110) K2DH(9)
  13  U AD8L  AD4L(128)H AD8P(35)
  24 -N OT5G(1984)  
  30 -N K3NA(2454)  
  33  U W1FTE (3) W1FM(366)H IW1FTE(63) W1FQ(39) W1FC(29)
  35  N V26B(5531)  K1TT(12)B
  60 -B VA3SQ(8)  VA3SK(1987)Ww VA3XQ(47)H VA3NQ(9) VA3UQ(7) VA3SWG(451)N
  62 -B KO4H(1)  KO1H(634)Wn KA4H(113) KO9H(30) K4OH(22)H KO4OL(17)
  65 -B N3WB(1)  N3WD(95) N3WL(9) N2WB(5) DL3WB(38)H N3WVB(22)
 100  N P40W(3544)  K1YTT(1)B
 120 -B K1BXP(1)  K1BX(993)N K1BV(466)H K1BD(400)N K1BG(136)N K1BO(49)
 126  U KA1TBQ (3) N6TBQ(57)
 130  U K1AF  K1AR(1384)N K1AE(343)H K1AK(92) K1AA(41) K1ANT(15)
 140 -N KB1H(1894)  
 158 -B VE5DX(7)  VP5DX(1410)H VE5FX(492)H VA5DX(256) VE5DG(56) VE1DX(44)
 162 -B NS6T(2)  NS3T(163)Wn NU6T(74)H NH6T(71)H NS6C(12)
 184  U VE3HXZ  VE3HMZ(5) VE3HX(33)

189 calls, 12 (U or B), ( 6.3%), 17 (U+1 or B or N) ( 9.0%)
133 cross-checked, 5 not-in-log.
NIL QSO points removed (no possible logs) = 12 (3 QSOs).
BAD QSO points removed = 16 (6 QSOs).

Notice, one -N dx station is 3 points, 4*3=12... no points removed for the
other 2 NIL's.  And 2 -B ve stations total 4 points, 4*4=16... no points
removed for the other bad ones.
