Would Like Some Opinion About Scoring System (1 Viewer)

[GULAM]

I have been running a fantasy football league for 3 years. Had the same scoring system for all 3 and now have been approached by one of the owners saying that he disagrees with our current system and would like it changed because it puts unfair weight to some positions. I will post our scoring and the top 10 players from last year.

I just wanted to see what you guys thought and whether or not I should be thinking about changing the scoring format. Thanx a lot for yalls time!

THE SCORING RULES ARE:

Passing TD Pass 6

Every 50 passing yards 1

2pt Passing Conversion 2

7-13 points allowed 4

14-17 points allowed 1

THE ROSTER ARE THE FOLLOWING

There certainly is an obvious trend in the top performers.

Noticing that Tyler Thigpen outscored 95% of all RB's is remarkable to me. I would go for a re-vamped scoring system though it's not my league.

 

[joffer]

it's a little QB and TD heavy, but there's nothing that unusual about it.

 

[Dragon1952]

Your 1pt per 20 rushing and rcvg yds devalue the RB and WR positions quite a bit. A 50+ yd FG scores the same as a 100 yd rusher/receiver. You've only got 3 RB and 1 WR in the top 20 in scoring.

Ditto. My personal preference would be that TDs don't weigh that heavily. I think the most common scoring systems give twice as many yardage points as you do, but the same TD points.On a slightly different note, a list of the highest season scoring totals really isn't meaningful. A better measure of the results of your scoring system would be a list of players by VBD value, or some similar method that accounts for scoring by position rather than total points.

It's very QB- and team defense-centric, but I'm assuming the owner already knows this. Not agreeing with the system and not understanding it are two different things. I've played in leagues where I didn't agree with the scoring system, but I still played and just adjusted my draft plans accordingly.

even more ridiculous is having 2 kickers doing tjhe same thing.

We use essentially the same scoring system in my 10 year old league. We have discussed changing the scoring system several times, but everyone in the league is used to the scoring system, so we have not changed it. If you know going into the draft that QB is a very valuable position you must alter your strategy accordingly. The only down side that I see to this scoring system is that I have to change my cheat sheets going into this draft to bump QB's up a little in my rankings (I expect the top 5 QB's to be gone by the middle of the third round, and I never draft them).

The bottom line is it does not matter what the scoring system is as long as you prepare for the draft knowing the system.
