Points scoreboard

I would like to have a sidebar that has the players score in the side bar. For example the sidebar would say:
Points: 11

I already have a working points system. I can do

Code:java

scores.getScore(player)

to get a players score as and integer. But I do not know how to get this on a scoreboard.

Thanks!

Look at chasechocolate's tutorial I'm the resources section

 

@xTrollxDudexI tried that but I could never get it to work with individual players

Code:java

       public static void addPoints(Player p, int newPoints){
        int cPoints = points.get(p.getDisplayName()) + newPoints;
        //put points in hashmap
        points.put(p.getDisplayName(), cPoints);
 
        pointsS.setScore(scores.getScore(p));
 
        //Send nice message
        if (newPoints == 0){
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "+ " + ChatColor.GOLD + newPoints + " point!");
        } else {
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "+ " + ChatColor.GOLD + newPoints + " points!");
        }
 
    }

How could I send that to a player in a method
