Find all groups of same name, merge field contents

I have the following hierarchy…

Repeater One (Repeater)
– Points (Group)
— Points 01 (Number)
— Points 02 (Number)
— Total (Number)

Repeater Two (Repeater)
– Points (Group)
— Points 01 (Number)
— Points 02 (Number)
— Total (Number)

I’m trying to get each ‘Points’ Group, add the individual points fields together and merge them into the Total when saving a post (type ‘Standings’).

So far I have this…

add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 5);
function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
$post_type = get_post_type($post_id);

if ($post_type == 'standings'){

CODE HERE

}
}

I know this works as I’ve been able to manipulate the post title easily – but I’m struggling to know where to go next to iterate through the repeaters, find the groups and do the rest.

Help appreciated!
