Balancing Offensive Scoring (1 Viewer)

[sirelfman]

A few years back, our league added PPR to help balance RB and WR, along with making the bonus for 100+ combined rushing/receiving yards. The last couple of years, WR have begun to dominate our league, so we are looking to get a balance back. What are some the atypical scoring that league use in an attempt to balance RB and WR?

Our current system:
1 pt per 10 yards rushing or receiving
1 pt per 2 RB rect, 1 pt per 1 for all other positions
5 point bonus for each time a century mark is passed in combined yardage (5 for 100, 10 for 200, 15 for 300, etc)

I think one obvious answer is to up the RB rect to 1 per rect to match everybody else. Just curious about what other may do. I also seem to remember an article not to long ago that investigated creating a balance scoring system, but I couldn't find it when I tried to search for it. If someone has a link to that article, that would also be quite helpful.

0 RBs allowable. So 4-5 WRs and 1-2 TEs. Unless you choose to use 1 or 2 RBs

No ppr.

I typically think bonuses are bad mechanically, basically 'win more' scoring.

My dynasty leagues are 1pt per 10/25 yd rec+rush/pass, 1ppr for all non-TEs and 1.5 for TES.

In my redrafts we do the same yardage but we do 0.5/1/1.5 ppr for rb/wr/te. Then rbs also get 0.1 per carry.

In all instances fumbles are -1.5 and fumbles lost are -1 and fumbles recovered are 1. So if they recover the fumble themselves it's only -0.5 and if their team recovers the fumble they only lose -1.5, ints are -2.25. QBs lose -0.1 per pass attempt and gain 0.2 pts per completion. All TDs are 6pts.

This was a balancing act over 10 years where we've slowly adjusted relative positions, in these redrafts we start 7-8 non-QB skill players.

The most even playing field scoring without getting too complex is standard, 4 pt passing TD. 1QB/2RB/3WR/2TE/Superflex

If you added ppr to achieve balance, succeeded, but now find that the pendulum goes the other way, the obvious solution is to remove the ppr.  Anything else is needless complication.
