Vin+ 3,121 Posted August 7, 2013 Alright, now that most of the league has signed up; a few questions: 1. Currently we're rolling with 2 divisions. Do we want to keep the 2 division format or condense it down to 1? 2. Playoffs: 6 teams? 3. Scoring: Currently scoring is as follows. What, if anything, do you want to see changed? Passing Every 25 passing yards (PY25) 1 TD Pass (PTD) 4 Interceptions Thrown (INT) -2 2pt Passing Conversion (2PC) 2 Rushing Every 10 rushing yards (RY10) 1 TD Rush (RTD) 6 2pt Rushing Conversion (2PR) 2 Receiving Every 10 receiving yards (REY10) 1 TD Reception (RETD) 6 2pt Receiving Conversion (2PRE) 2 Miscellaneous Kickoff Return TD (KRTD) 6 Punt Return TD (PRTD) 6 Fumble Recovered for TD (FTD) 6 Total Fumbles Lost (FUML) -2 Interception Return TD (INTTD) 6 Fumble Return TD (FRTD) 6 Blocked Punt or FG return for TD (BLKKRTD) 6 Kicking Each PAT Made (PAT) 1 Total FG Missed (FGM) -1 FG Made (0-39 yards) (FG0) 3 FG Made (40-49 yards) (FG40) 4 FG Made (50+ yards) (FG50) 5 Team Defense / Special Teams Each Sack (SK) 1 Interception Return TD (INTTD) 6 Fumble Return TD (FRTD) 6 Kickoff Return TD (KRTD) 6 Punt Return TD (PRTD) 6 Blocked Punt or FG return for TD (BLKKRTD) 6 Blocked Punt, PAT or FG (BLKK) 2 Each Interception (INT) 2 Each Fumble Recovered (FR) 2 Each Safety (SF) 2 0 points allowed (PA0) 5 1-6 points allowed (PA1) 4 7-13 points allowed (PA7) 3 14-17 points allowed (PA14) 1 28-34 points allowed (PA28) -1 35-45 points allowed (PA35) -3 46+ points allowed (PA46) -5 Less than 100 total yards allowed (YA100) 5 100-199 total yards allowed (YA199) 3 200-299 total yards allowed (YA299) 2 350-399 total yards allowed (YA399) -1 400-449 total yards allowed (YA449) -3 450-499 total yards allowed (YA499) -5 500-549 total yards allowed (YA549) -6 550+ total yards allowed (YA550) -7 4. Rosters: Currently, we're starting 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 D/ST, 1 Kicker, in addition to 7 bench slots. As with the scoring, what, if anything, do you want to see changed? 5. Draft time: Season begins on Thursday, September 5th. The final preseason game is Thursday, August 29th. If everyone can make it, I'd prefer to have it on a weekday sometime during the end of the preseason/start of the regular season to avoid conflicts with other drafts that are probably going to happen on that weekend.

oochymp 2,393 Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I may have more later, but one thing I'd like to see different is missed FGs, I think you can set that based on yardage so I'd like to see something like -1 point for missed FGs under 30 or 40 yards, something so you don't get penalized for your kicker missing the ridiculously long last second field goal, it doesn't come up a lot, but it doesn't really seem fair to penalize a kicker for missing a kick that most kickers would miss oh, and a shutout should be worth more than 5 points, there are very few things in football that guarantees your team a win, but a shutout is one of those things, also there are only like 2 per year, so why not reward anyone who's managed to start that defense? give them ten points Edited August 8, 2013 by oochymp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NYGIANTSFLYHIGH 1 Posted August 12, 2013 Im not sure if this is up for debate or not. But Ive always disliked TD Passes only being 4 points. It devalues the QB position on draft night. By having it at 6 youll see those second and third tier QBs come off the board a little earlier and not leaving as many rounds on the back end with non producing players or long shots....especially with 12 teams. Also, I second the minus points for missed FGs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By having it at 6 youll see those second and third tier QBs come off the board a little earlier and not leaving as many rounds on the back end with non producing players or long shots....especially with 12 teams. Also, I second the minus points for missed FGs. this came up last year, so I'm quoting what I had to say about it then, all the numbers are from 2011, but I'm at work and am not going to take the time to look up last year's numbers, but I suspect they're similar and can look them up later if you want the problem with that is it makes QBs too valuable, I know, QB is an incredibly valuable position in the NFL, but hear me out: last year the most tds a RB had was 20 (LeSean McCoy: 17 rush, 3 rec) the most receiving tds anyone had was also 17 (Gronk) 17 QBs had 17 or more tds, 14 had 20 or more, that means most fantasy teams have a backup QB with as many tds as the most of any other position, so the points have to be scaled down IMO, if you scale it to 4 instead of 6 for a passing td then 17 rushing/receiving tds is equivalent to 25.5 passing tds, a number that's still topped by 9 QBs, 20 rushing/receiving tds is equivalent to 30 passing tds, which was topped by 5, so you're still giving QBs an advantage in points from TDs, it's just not enormous like it is if you count them all the same I'd say stick with 4 points for passing tds as for not having as many QBs drafted, that's more due to only starting one which means you don't need to draft more than 2, and if you get one of the top guys then you really only need to draft one (FTR, I am NOT advocating making this a two QB league, that just gets stupid especially with 12 teams) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
