IDP Scoring Advice

[fpuma]

Last year was our first year using IDP and we are loving it. While everything is fresh in my mind i am looking for some advise on the scoring setup. Right now we start:

 

1 DE/DT

1 LB

2 CB/S

 

With out current scoring setup tackles are .5 point for everyone and you get a 5 point bonus for 10 tackles. I think this is one area that needs changed. The other issue is with DE/DT. This position is virtually noexistent. Guy typically get a couple points and dont have a big impact. I would like to change that. The last thing is for mainly CB/S. When they get an interception they get too many points since they get points for return yardage. So if a guy have an int for 90 yards a team can get 30 points from this position.

 

What are some of your scoring rules for IDP? What are your starting requirements?

for our content we use a tackle heavy scoring system ....you have to decide if you want a tackle heavy, big play or combo of the two and then go from there...I tend to think more is better with regards to starters...minimally 2 DL, 2LB, 2DB and say a flex or two

I dont want the big play. We kind of have that now and i want to get away from it. I like the idea of adding the flex to IDP. This is the first year we had the offensive flex.

 

What does your scoring for IDP look like?

What does your scoring for IDP look like?

 

* 2 points per solo tackle, 1 points per assisted tackle, 3 points per sack

* 2 points per forced fumble, 2 points per fumble recovery

* 2 points per interception, 1.5 points per pass defensed

* 6 points per touchdown, 2 points per safety

 

 

You can tweek it with-in that framework.

Sack 2 to 4

PD- 1

Safety 2 to 4

etc

 

Starting line-ups

 

I prefer 3-3-3 w/flex but 2-2-2 is a good start

You could get crazy and go to 11 with DT and CBs mandatory

Thanks. That a big help to get started.

 

I think for next year I will add the flex and tweak the scoring and then go from there. I dont want to scare these guys too much.

My main league our scoring is a little sack heavy. It helps increase some of the DL value compared to a tackle heavy scoring system. We also start 3 LB, DB, and DL so DL can get a little thin.
