[Bad Newz Kennels]

I'm not the comish in this league, but in it's 2nd year there has been much discussion on the d/st scoring. Most seem to be displeased with the set-up, this is the only league I've ever been in so I'd be interested to hear your thoughts as we may push for a vote on the matter next season.

These are also pretty normal; personally I like to have a greater variation in them... my feeling is that if I'm going to give a defense 6 points for a TD, I should be penalizing them 6 pts for giving one up. But how your league has it set up is probably pretty normal.

The ordering of the defenses also looks pretty reasonable; some of the teams move up or down one to three spots depending upon individual league settings, but they generally look like the defenses that are doing well in my leagues.

The main thing is just that your defenses will score more compared to the other positions. The defense rankings themselves don't look too weird, they seem about in line with how the defenses are ranked for "standard" scoring.

Although one might say that the scoring is too in favor for defense, since everyone will have that advantage of a high-scoring defense, it should be fine.

[WaCougMBS]

Everything looks pretty kosher other than the sacks and safeties being double what they usually are. Getting those 3-7 points per game of extra points makes the scoring higher, but it doesn't set too many of the startable defenses apart from each other.

I'm guessing people are mainly pissed because they would have liked to have better Ds with the high scoring possibilities, but oh well right?

Scoring may be slightly of in some categories but overall how the scoring is playing out in terms of ranking is in line with most other leagues.
