SCORING

Scoring Weights
Scoring weights are determined by each league. The league commissioner can update the scoring weights up until the league’s draft. The following scoring weights are the suggested defaults.

Note: The listed position of a player does not affect the type of points they can score, except for Defense/Special Teams points. Negative yardage counts as no yardage.

Statistic Default Value
Offensive Scores (Ground)
Total rushing and receiving yardage 0.1 pts per yard
Rushing and receiving touchdowns 6 pts per TD
Receptions and rushing attempts .1 pt per reception/0 pts per rush
Fumbles lost 0 pts per fumble
2 Point Conversions 2 pts
Offensive Scores (Air)
Total passing yardage 0.05 pts per yard

Scoring Bonuses/Thresholds
Premium leagues can incorporate scoring bonuses or thresholds for their fantasy players. For example you could decide that if a player runs for more than 150 yards in a game, he earns a bonus of 3 fantasy points, or maybe 10 receptions earns 5 fantasy points, etc.

You could also use this feature to replace the "per stat" scoring weights and make fantasy scores based on thresholds. For example, if you want to award 1 point for every 10 receiving yards, but not 0.1 fantasy points per yard, you could set the scoring weight of receiving yards equal to 0 and add a 1 point bonus for every 10 yards. In that scenario a receiver would earn 7 points for 78 yards receiving as opposed to the standard 7.8 points.

Scoring bonuses can be combined with scoring weights and you can have multiple scoring bonuses set up for the same stat category giving your league tremendous flexibility for fantasy scoring.

Scoring bonuses can also be setup for the length of touchdown plays. For example, a 5 point bonus for a 50+ yard touchdown, etc.

Each player's score is calculated separately and then the total points are added up to arrive at a fantasy team's score.


Head Coach Fantasy Points
Premium leagues can elect to use head coaches as a position. We suggest the following scoring weights:
  • Wins: 10pts
  • Losses: -5pts
  • Road Wins: 5pts
  • Home Losses: -5pts
  • Upset Wins: 10pts
  • Upset Losses: -10pts
"Upset" wins and losses are based on the team's rankings in that week's AP poll. All schools receiving votes in the AP poll will have a ranking including those who fall outside of the Top 25. All schools who do not receive any votes will be considered equal to one ranking lower than the lowest ranked team. Games played on Sunday and Monday after an updated poll has been published will continue to use their ranking for the game week they played - which at that time would be the next most recent poll.

Neutral field games will not count as road games or home games for either team. Common alternate home fields, such as Arkansas playing in Little Rock, are not considered neutral fields.

Scoring Eligibility
Offensive players can accumulate points for any offensive statistic. For example a quarterback can earn points for receiving a touchdown pass if he catches a pass in a trick play, or a kicker can earn a rushing touchdown if he runs in a botched snap.

Points that are acquired on Defense or Special Teams will only be awarded to both the individual and the Defense/Special Teams position. Leagues can set the scoring weights of Defense/Special Teams TDs as well as individual special teams TDs seperatley.

All points scored against a team are considered points scored against the Defense/Special Teams. For example, if an offensive player fumbles and it is recovered and returned for a TD by the opposing team, the points scored count against the Defense/Special Teams of the team who lost possession. Safeties also count against the total points allowed by the Defense/Special Teams.

If a TD is scored as the result of a double turnover, the TD is awarded to the Defense/Special Teams of the scoring team. For example, Team A fumbles the ball near the goal line, Team B recovers but fumbles the ball again, Team A recovers the ball and scores a TD. The fantasy points for that score will be awarded to the Defense/Special Teams of Team A and not the player who recovered the last fumble. Both team's Defense/Special Teams will also be credited with a fumble recovery.


Ties
Fantasy games that end in a tie will be subject to the following tie-breakers:
  1. Total touchdowns scored by each fantasy team
  2. Total yards gained by each fantasy team

Scoring Discrepancies
If you find a scoring error, simply send us an e-mail with the the source of information that you found.

Score discrepancies, instances where two different major news sources report different information, should be handled through your league commissioner who can make stat adjustments and override scores if needed.

Scoring errors need to be reported by the next Wednesday. If an error correction causes a fantasy game to reverse, we will notify the league.
