having played weak NT 10-13 for 25yrs what i usually see is people bidding when they should double and doubling when they should bid...sitting for a double of 1NT is like sitting for a double of 2minor....-180 if wrong unless overtricks involved. So for me point count is irrelevant when sitting for a double of 1NT. Distribution is more important for instance the longer the suit and the weaker you are then you should bid.

My rule isdouble shows more strneght than opener. So if the open was 10-12, ,then I would have 13+. And then 8 would be enough. 12-15.. then 6 would be enough as well, but not unbalanced, partner has an awful tendency of leading my singleton and it often stinks.
