If you activate a player who also returns punts and that player returns a punt for a TD does he still get 6 points?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144288142060736290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494526787047691611.post-20998668238652423092007-08-23T16:33:00.000-07:002007-08-23T16:33:00.000-07:00Nice.

Our thoughts are like this. Other positions get more credit for doing stuff more difficult, like scoring a TD or making a long run. The kicker scoring is designed to reward the difficulty of the kick. We were actually going to do 1 yd = 0.1pt, but we can't get it that way from the feed. A 40 yard FG gets 4.5 pts, so shorter ones shoulg get less. I think we can make it 0-29 y = 2.5 pts so the "penalty" is pretty minor. Also for the missed FGs we think this is fair. The short ones should not be missed, and the long ones this is risk vs. reward. Get 5.5 pts for a 50 yard make or lose 2 if you miss. Seems fair?<BR/><BR/>zerat,<BR/><BR/>Scoring defensive touchdowns, and not counting defensive TDs against the DEF, are all potentially controversial plays that can and do get changed with the "official" Tuesday box. We have to remove these scoring elements to pay out the contests Sunday night. Its the same scoring for everyone, so if you think a QB is prone to throwing TDs that are returned for TDs, you need to consider that when picking a DEF. If enough people would prefer us paying the contests Tuesday, we could wait for the final box.Blindershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457778597515322620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494526787047691611.post-44951843014448074002007-08-21T11:50:00.000-07:002007-08-21T11:50:00.000-07:00Maybe this is one of the things you had to elimina...Maybe this is one of the things you had to eliminate for Defensive points, but do they not get anything for returning INT/Fumbles for TDs?<BR/><BR/>Also do defenses get penalized for the other team's defensive points? It hardly seems fair to penalize the Bears D for when Rex Grossman throws an interception that gets returned 97 yards for a TD.<BR/><BR/>One other thing that I've only ever seen in one of the leagues I'm in is that safetys should be worth 4 points. 2 points for the points scored and 2 points for the change of possession. <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to football season. Too bad we can't do some trials in preseason.ZeRat11https://www.blogger.com/profile/01317385949333690734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494526787047691611.post-73453713702519980462007-08-21T11:19:00.000-07:002007-08-21T11:19:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting your proposed scoring rules for...Thanks for posting your proposed scoring rules for the football season. I believe there were a lot of us anxiously waiting to see these.<BR/><BR/>One comment about kickers, why aren't you giving at least 3 points for all field goals scored? I believe it's not fair to kickers that you penalize them for kicking short field goals. Shouldn't you give at least 3 for any FG and then perhaps give them a bonus for longer ones? Seeing how your penalize them for missing field goals I think you should give them full 3-pt credit for the ones they do hit.<BR/><BR/>Also, is it really fair to subtract points for missed field goals for long attempts? Seeing how kicks over 50 yards have a much lower chance of scoring anyway, I don't believe you should penalize a player for attempting a long FG. Sure, penalize them for missing the chip shots but don't spank them for missing 45+ yarders. You should ding them -1 for a missed extra point though as those are considered automatic in most cases.<BR/><BR/>I like the rest of the scoring rules but really feel strongly about penalizing the Kickers scores. Those 1 or 2 points that you shave off for kicking short FGs are bound to end up deciding some outcomes. Give them full credit for a FG but give them a small bonus for kicking 40+ yarders.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144288142060736290noreply@blogger.com
