Ed Hoyle Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) It was just discovered that Sportsline is not scoring our Special Teams TD's for Kickoff Returns or Punt Returns. We are however getting the TD's for Int/Fumble Returns. We have always been alloted these TD's in the past, but something got messed up with Sportsline this year since our Commish used the ST spot to put our Draft Picks in so they can be traded on the Sportsline site (We are a dynasty league. Keep 9 and draft 9 each year.) I know in one league I'm the Commish of we have a D/ST as one entity and the scoring is okay. Our Commissioner was asked to change the scoring to "retro" the scoring to put these in for all teams this season. He has refused saying that any changes to the the system will reset the schedule, etc. and will not be fair to the league since everyone was at a disadvantage with it. A few owners have voiced that it is just as unfair to not put these points on for the teams who deserve them. There are also a few teams who drafted the Vikings and Bears among teams just for their return TD's. What are your thoughts? Should the Commissioner change it now? Should it be left alone until next year? Any feedback would be appreciate, as I'm going to share it with our league.

faceplant Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 It sucks, but I think you have to suck it up for the year and fix it for next year. I've never been a commish on cbs before so I don't know how much truth there is to what he's saying about the schedule change thing, but I still think you just let it alone until next season.

Ed Hoyle Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 I'm the Commish in a Sportsline League and it won't mess things up as far as I've checked. It may be just let it go, but a few teams would have had some wins if these TD's were allowed. Other teams missed out on Weekly High Score too ($5 per win).

Grogansghost Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Ideally someone would've caught this mistake much earlier to address it. Seeing how it's now week 12 - it seems very late to be implementing any fix that will change scores, the results of games, records, and presumably playoff spots/seeding. Everyone worked under the wrong system from the start of the season. The advantage/disadvantage proved to be pretty slight because no one noticed the mistake. All teams made trade and waiver wire decisions assuming they knew what their record was. To suddenly hand certain teams phantom losses this late in the game seems unfair. These teams never had a chance to trade more agressively or take other steps to deal with one of these losses. It's unfortunate for the teams that missed out - but it's a mistake that didn't get caught in time to fix. Teams need to know what their records are so they can make informed decisions. It's the same reason that most leagues have a time limit for when a stat change can be applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 At this point you have to admit that it was wrong and leave it as is. Change it next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverines Fan Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 At this point you have to admit that it was wrong and leave it as is. Change it next year.

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 how the hell does nobody in the league not realize that your not getting special team scores till week 12??? Really??? Exactly... And no way in hell you can change a scoring rule regardless of what was done in the past at this point in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Agreed. It amazes me that nobody caught this earlier and I also think it's too late now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Way too late to change anything at this point. Imagine if you are a bubble team and you get a win taken from you because of the change. I would explode and would never play in that league again...hell I'd might even demand my $ back.

delusions of grandeur Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yep, if you can't get scoring fixed by about half way through the season, it's way too late now, as it could simply change way too much with a week to go. Will only create problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
