Fantasy Football

I have to say that is probably the weirdest scoring system I have ever seen. I don't mind losing points for turnovers (fumbles/interceptions), or for giving up too many points, but why is it only 5 points for a rushing/receiving touchdown? From what I can see you REALLY want to make a QB the first pick because you have made a passing TD worth nearly as much as a rushing/receiving TD, and you also made the passing yards/point pretty low. Also, WHY do you need 3 sacks to get 1 point? I have always played in leagues where it was 1 sack/1 point, so I really don't see the point of making a defense even more useless than it already is. Interceptions/fumble recoveries are fine at 1 or 2 points, and the rest of your defensive scoring system seems fine to me. The scoring for field goals seems a bit strange but certainly passable. I personally would suggest a standard scoring system where rushing/receiving touchdowns are 6 points and passing touchdowns are 3 points, and yardage is 10 rushing/receiving yards/point and 20 or 25 passing yards/point. Also, I don't really care about the scoring for field goals but I would prefer if for defense it was 1 point/sack.

hi bitches better not go without me

also draft time not weekends, I've got shit planned every weekend up through the end of the month ;/ August 31st around 9:00PM Eastern is good for me, though.

Largely agreeing with Loki for scoring system. Defense could be messed with a bit but it's fine as long as you only lose points there for giving up a lot. (Personally, I'd like to see negative points only occur for 35+/36+ and perhaps more division in the 14-under area. Something like 10p for shutout, 7p for =<7, 5p for 8-14, 3p for 15-24, 0p for 25-35, -3 for 36+.) I'm a fan of PPR myself, it gives more credit to guys like Driver, who get a lot of the team's recs/yards but not necessary many of their TDs, and expands the list of viable starting RBs a bit. Maybe a half-point PPR?

edit edit: What about return yardage? Few starters do KR/PR so it would further expand the game, maybe even make a viable starter out of Leon Washington, Cribbs, Hester. A point for every 25/30 yards? Of course, return TDs should still be rewarded points like any other score. I don't see that listed anywhere in the scoring system.
 
I would like to play.

As for a draft... I dont think I can do late august.. but anything else is game


edit: i will be active every week. I dont know when late august. Cool.
 
I support .5 points per reception, 1 point per 25 yards returning for KR / PR and standard 6 points for a return touchdown.

Click to expand...

Seconding, I played in a league where it was 1-1 though, and needless to say I dominated with all KRs.
 
Ok, how about this for scoring?

QB
Passing TD = 4 pts
25 yards passing = 1 pt
Interception = -2 pts

RB/WR/TE
Rushing/Receiving TD = 6 pts
Lost Fumble = -2 pts
10 yards rushing/receiving = 1 pt
1 recption = .5 pts

K
0-49 yard FG = 3 pts[
50+ yard FG = 4 pts
Extra Point = 1 pt

DEF
1 sack = 1 pt
Defensive INT = 2 pt
Defensive fumble recovery = 2 pt
Defensive safety = 2 pts
Blocked kick = 2 pts
Defensive TD = 6 pts
Defensive shutout = 10 pts
7 pts or less = 7 pts
14 pts or less = 5 pts
21 pts or less = 3 pts
less than 30 pts = 0 pts
30 pts or more = -6 pts

KR/PR
Returned touchdown = 6 pts
25 yards = 1 pt

Also, now that we have 20 people, I have randomly split the league into 2 groups

Group 1:
  1. moot
  2. zerowing
  3. pookar
  4. Lord Gloom
  5. Gaborik
  6. porygon3
  7. Aeroblacktyl
  8. theamericandream38
  9. tennisace0227
  10. JTH
Group 2:
  1. aldaron
  2. Raistmagic
  3. Mr.E
  4. Bran
  5. Batpig
  6. omni
  7. Justin8649
  8. CaptKirby
  9. GreenPikachu
  10. Loki
I would like for either zerowing or Aeroblacktyl to be commissioner for the first group. And I will be commissioner for the 2nd group.

The 2nd group will be drafting on August 31st at 9:30PM Eastern Time, and whoever ends up being commissioner for the first group can select the draft time for that group.

If any of you have a problem with the draft time for your group, we can re-arrange groups a bit.

Once all of this gets finalized we will set up the leagues on Yahoo and send out the invitations.
 
Looking good I think. No, I don't really want -1 for FGs. That rather removes the advantage of making really long (50+) FGs, which aren't that easy to make in the first place.

The scoring didn't allow me to be as dynamic as we had initially planned. Changes can still be made to the scoring system if anybody has anything good to suggest. I will send out invites to the league once we have the 2 groups finalized.
 
I can commish league 1 and I'll use the exact setting you have (obviously). The draft date will probably be very similar to yours, but people assigned to league 1, any suggestions for times (just to accommodate as many as possible)?
 
that should be good, but 6pm pst might leave me vulnerable to stuff happening

should be good though and i can understand if we cant push it back timewise for them east coasters
 
Heh. By user status... league 2 is stacked lol.

Guess ill have to make "playoffs (??)" to beat the up Combee. I found out that i will probably be out the last full week in august, if at all. I will get back to you guys if I wont be gone at all.
 
That time should be fine for me. I would prefer 9:30, or a few minutes later, over 9:00 if possible but either is fine.

August 31 is my mom's birthday, it probably won't affect draft time but just in case I wanted to let you guys know now.

As for scoring, I don't have any problems with it. I've never done a league that rewards for Return yards/receptions so I will have to get used to this.
 
k I just created the group 1 league, but with August 30 9:30 EST draft.
