Inziladun Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 So I'm throwing around the idea of bonus points, I'm in a couple leagues that do it, and I like it... to a degree. I really don't like the idea of 99 yards = no bonus points, or whatever you have the margin set to. Which is why I like to play with fractional scoring, so every little play matters. So I'm wondering if anyone plays in a league that does a scaling bonus point scale. Something like 25 yards = extra 1 point, 50 yards = extra 1 point, 75 yards = extra 1 point, 90 yards = extra 1 point, 100 yards = extra 1 point and so on and so on. Does anyone operate in a bonus point league that is set up this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundo Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'm In a league that TDs are scored as 0.25 per yard starting at 25 yards. So, 0-24 yds is 6, 25 yds is 6.25, 40 yds is 10, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Not a fan of bonus points. FF is arbitrary enough, but to just magically decide 50 yards is 20% more important than 49 yards is just wrong IMO. eta: I don't mind small bonuses for long TD's as much. It rewards explosiveness, which is reflective of what's rewarded in games. There are a lot of donkeys that can rush for a 1 yard TD, but it takes a special play to jaunt 80 yards I was in a league that rewarded 4 for TD's over 40 and 9 for TD's over 75 yards and that was way, way too much. Keep in mind there's already extra reward for long TD's built into the yardage awards, so those can get out of control quickly. I'd suggest 1/2/3 for 41/61/81+.

squirrelmastr21 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I left the league that had bonuses for yard marks. I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Never played in one, with the exception of the local - which used to have bonus points for K's and FG's over 55 yards. I do think rushing attempts have as much merit as PPC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomebench Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Our league used to double points on tds over 50 yrds. We now just stick with the 1 pt per 10 yards. Only extra bonus we give now is field goal 50+, is double points. I think we also add 5 points for qb over 400 yrds.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I don't mind having 1 point for 100+ rushing or receiving yards and 300+ passing yards. Those are important milestones. The trouble is when you go crazy with bonus points and is skews the scoring too far towards randomness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I just don't think a bonus needs to be poured on top of an already high point performance...I don't get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
