New League Scoring System

[Joeybagadonuts]

Hello there, I am a first time commisioner in a 12 team redraft league starting 1qb, 2rb, 2wr, 1 wr/rb, 1 te, 1 def, 1 K.

So, what scoring system will keep things interesting and help spread "value" around the draft so no one get's screwed? Obviously a lot of scrubs will get drafted, but what point system ensures as much quality as possible and keeps the advantage out of the hands of the 1-5 drafters? Is it adding value to WR?

Would you recomend a PPR league? What about bonuses (100+ yards rushing=+3, 300 yards passing = +4, etc)

Any other things I can do in a yahoo league to make it interesting without making it confusing?

Thanks.

Here is a Scoring system I love.

It's from fantasyfootballchampionship.com

PASSING:

* .05 points for every yard passing (works out to 1 point every 20 yards).
* 6 points for every passing touchdown
* 2 points for every 2-Point conversion
* minus 1 point for every interception and lost fumble

RUSHING:

* .10 points for every yard rushing (works out to 1 point every 10 yards).
* 6 points for every rushing TD
* 2 points for every 2-Point conversion
* minus 1 point for every lost fumble
* 6 points for a recovered offensive fumble for a touchdown (RB, QB, WR, TE)

RECEIVING:

* .10 points for every yard receiving (works out to 1 point every 10 yards).
* 6 points for every receiving TD
* 1 point for every reception for WRs, Tight Ends and QBs
* 0.5 points for every reception for RBs
* 2 points for every 2-Point conversion
* minus 1 point for every lost fumble

KICKING:

* 1 point for every extra point
* 3 points for every field goal from 1-30 yards
* 3 points for every field goal plus .10 points for every yard after 30 yards (i.e. a 47-yard field goal would be worth 4.7 points)


It rewards for everything a player does on the field basically.

It makes it so you dont get screwed when a guy passes for 299 yards and you only get credit for 275 passing yards.

It is precise and makes every yard pivotal.

Makes sense, don't know if I'll be able to get it that precise on yahoo, but I'll try.

The major difference I see there is in qb points. Standard yahoo has it at one point for every 50 yards. You have it at one for every 20...why such a drastic change?

Also, where do you stand on waivers? Which format works best for you?

THat avatar's got to go. I'm on a diet and you're killing me!

I think standard scoring pretty much evens the playing field. I wouldn't allow more than 4 points for a passing TD to make sure the QB's don't overcome the RB's. PPR leagues make WR's and pass catching RB's more valuable as well as TE's. I would NOT do bonuses. I'm not a fan of bonuses. If a RB has 100 rushing yards then he's already scored some points for his owner, especially if a TD or two is thrown in. The last thing he needs is a bonus.

[Crippler]

1 pt for 10 yds rushing/recieving and 20 yds passing is actually standard for most places (Yahoo is different....bad different IMO). I wouldnt give 2 pts for every 2pt conversion though. The 1pt per reception usually works out nicely and I would recommend it to make recievers a little more valuable.

any opinions on waiver wire options?

[LukeW9027]

1. whoever had the least points scored in the last week would have the #1 claim, and the opposite for the team with the most points.

2.another way you could do it, is have the person in the last draft slot as #1, and the first pick with last. then after that, if a team makes a claim, then they will go to the bottom of the wire.

and after the draft, i would make all players free agents until week 1, then enforce the waiver wire at the start of week one.

personally, i like #2

[Gnu314]

25/1 passing 4 passing td -2 int, 10/1 rushing/rec, 6 td, -2 fumble, 2 two pt conv, .5 ppr.

Should give enough value to WRs to even out the RB/WR gap a bit. Thats my personal favored scoring.

also, yahoo allows you to say you want fractional points.

i am all in facor of fractional points, but i dont get y everyone is complaining about the 299 yards this or w/e

that 1 point will almost never make a difference

a maximum of 1 game per season for each team could be decided by that, and in the end, it will all even out for the most part anyways.

i dont think what happened the previous week should b the only thing taken into consideration

it should b last place gets first shot at him, then 2nd to last, etc.
