Decimal scoring for FGs (1 Viewer)

[Godsbrother]

Like many leagues we went to decimal scoring for offensive yardage years ago. Seems much more natural to give a guy 1.1 pts for 11 yards rushing and 1.9 pts for 19 yards rushing than to give both 1 point. It also cuts down on ties.

That said, it occurred to me that it would also make sense to use digital scoring for field goals -- maybe something like this:

FG pts = FG yards /10 - 1

so a 31 yard FG would be 2.1 pts while a 39 yard field goal would be 2.9 pts.

I am curious if any leagues do this and if so, which league management site do you use?

lowering the FGs.. if anything I usually raise them.

If your going to lower their value then why even have them?

I personally think that FG kickers score too many points relative to the other positions but you could eliminate the - 1 from the equation if you don't like it. The point I was trying to make is that a 31 yard FG not count the same as a 39 yard FG.

The Zealots leagues hosted at MFL use decimal scoring. Any FG 30 yards or under = 3 points. Any FG 31 yards or more = .1 point for every yard.

This.Easy to understand and fun. You could also do a -1 for any attempt of 50+ and add the -.1 for each yard shorter than 50.....suddenly it matters a little bit more if your guy shanks one from 32 LOL

Our league is on CBSsportsline and we just switched to decimal kicker scoring last year. Honestly, we loved it. Many posters on here think kickers are a fluke and should be rid of for fantasy purposes but for leagues that do use them, I highly recommend the switch.

There were multiple times last year where a kicker was getting ready to kick say a 39yd fg but there was a 5 yd penalty resulting in a 34yd fg. It cost the owner .5 pts and ultimately the game that week. Or if you have the kicker but you need more yardage you end up rooting for a sack to add yards to the fg attempt. Just another way to add some excitement to FF.

I really like this. Never considered it, but it seems pretty cool.

My league does it this way, that way a 49 yarder is 4.9 not 4.0

Why let WR/RBs get 4.9 for 49 yards and not 4 if kickers cant.

My local leeg changed to this a couple of years ago. Works great.

We use MFL and actually use .1 per yard for each field goal made. So, anything shorter than 30 yards receives less than 3 points. It makes the guys with the bigger legs a little more valuable.

Almost every league I play in uses this scoring system

 

[Captain Hook]

As will the FBG Championship.....FFPC uses that as well as WCOFF and NFFC

We use CBS as well and didn't realize it allowed this. Now that I know it supports it I will be proposing this at our summer meeting.

We use decimals for FG and use MFL

kickers get .01 points per yard from the 'base'

Our bases are 0-39 yards = 2 points

40-49 yards = 3 points

50+ = 4 points

So a 33 yard FG = 2.33

45 yrd fg = 3.05

52 yrd fg = 4.02

How did you set the scoring to accommodate this? I would like to to do this, but the options I have for bonus on kicker are for FG's between certain ranges and I have a limit of 10 slots.

IIRC, it's a bit untidy. You have to do a bonus .1 for each yard (31 to 31, for example). But those slots will expand beyond 10 as you start filling them in. We took ours up to about 60 yards, I think, and it fills up half the scoring page.

 

[Shutout]

All my leagues do it the way described in the Zealots above and I really can't see any reason NOT to do it that way. Just seems right. Big game kickers with big legs should have some value over other guys. If nothing else, keeps from just picking "any kicker". In dynasties, you actually may put some thought into it.

In my dynasties, I man crush on Rob "My" Bironas. Always solid and can rip off a 50 yarder as good as anybody.

Same for my league.Last season, we had a simple .1 per yard, but it led to kickers scoring even less than usual, with 1.9 points for a 19-yarder, and such.We also have -3 for a missed field goal 1-30 yards, -2 for 31-40 yards. -1 for 41-50 yards, and -0 for 51+ yards.

I should've mentioned this myself earlier. With this type of scoring system, all kickers don't go for $1 at an auction.

Tried that but it will only allow me to go 11 slots and then I don't get an option to create another row.

Let me play with that some when I get home tonight. It's been a while and I might be telling you wrong.

Roadkill (or anyone else) please let us know if you were able to configure CBS for decimal scoring on FGs.

Roadkill (or anyone else) please let us know if you were able to configure CBS for decimal scoring on FGs.

My scoring system (on Sportsline) has been correctly configured for some years now but for some reason I was unable to successfully assist DirtyWord in his efforts to do so yesterday. I can't figure out why I can but he can't. If I get to the bottom of it, I'll let everyone know. Sorry.

 

[GregR_2]

Never thought of doing the yardage as decimal, but love the concept. We already have bonuses for longer field goals but I'd rather see it be decimal rather than have abrupt jumps. Will definitely be proposing this to my leagues this year.

 

[jbz]

I'd like to do this to our CBS league as well.

 

[Mister CIA]

It's used in a couple of my leagues and I like it, but I wonder how much difference it makes over an entire season. Gut feel is that for owners who pay close attention to kickers is that it nets an extra 10-15 points per season.
