Leagues with Decimal Scoring

Hi all,

 

I've proposed a rule change to move our league from flat/whole pt scoring to decimal scoring. Question for those using it today: How do you handle QB passing? We currently award 1pt per 25yards. How should that look in a decimal scoring world? Also, do you still utilize bonuses with decimal scoring?

 

Any other out-of-the-ordinary rules you have in your league? We're in our 9th year and we need to breath new life into the league...cool, interesting rules may help.

 

Thanks.

1pt/25 yds = 0.04pt/yd for decimal scoring.

 

Most leagues that use decimal scoring don't use bonuses.

Hmm.. My main local has some bonuses, but I'm trying to push them to decimal scoring this year. We'll see how it goes. I think getting 3.9 points for a 39 yard run is more accurate than 3 points in our old system. I like the accuracy and that is the main reason I'm pushing for it. This league bumps you 2 points when I receiver has a game over 100 yards. Not sure why the decimal scoring would interfere with that.

My league rewards 0.1 for all non-QB yardage and 0.05 for QB yardage (half of the other positions). If you wanted to keep your same scoring, you would award 0.04 for QBs (equating to 1 whole point per 25 yards).

 

E2A: We also have bonus scoring for length of TD. We do not have bonus points for yardage. Also, like you mention, decimal scoring is the way to go because it counts every yard and is more accurate. Not really fair if all my players get 99 yards while all your players get 90, yet we get the same ending score - I hate leagues that don't use the decimal.

I agree. I like the accuracy of it as well. It makes 3 pts for 39 yards seem extremely out-dated. I think bonuses should still work, we use a tiered bonus system for 100/125/150/200 yards rushing/receiving and something similar for QBs over 300.

 

I think decimal scoring will pass and be implemented for us this year. But I'd love to add something else to the league rules as well. It's going to a vote, but FLEX position probably will be turned down.

 

Anything else fun and different?

Points for receptions?

Since it is fantasy football, I've always been a fan of bonus points per length of TD. It makes the big plays that much more exciting when you know you're guy is going to get more points from it. We do a 2 pt bonus (added to the 6pts for TD) per 20 yards, starting at a 20-39 yard TD. So a 55 yard TD would reward 6 + 4 = 10 (plus the yardage of course). Again, it just adds another element of intensity and does make you want to draft explosive players more. I like it and my league mates do too.

Just because you are changing to decimal scoring doesn't mean that you need to change any bonus points if you guys like that rule. If you want to keep that bonus rule in, that sure wouldn't be a good reason to go or not to go with decimal scoring.

we switched over to a decimal system and kept our bonuses as well but incorporated the new decimal system into the bonuses for example:

 

RB 0-100 yds= .1pt/yd

101-150yds=.3pts/every 2 yards

150+yds=.2pts/every 1 yd

 

doing it this way really rewards the players that have great games similar to the long TD bonuses other players mentioned.

Decimal systems are great and should be used instead of any and all bonuses.

 

It makes no sense that a run of 20 yards is rewarded two points more than a run of 19 yards.

 

Should a WR with 100 yards receiving REALLY get 10 more points than one with 99 yards receiving? The answer is "No". He should get credit for the single yard more that decimal scoring provides.

 

Bonuses are subjective.
