5.3.1 Some players score points that are counted in more than one-way. When someone returns a kickoff or punt for a touchdown, he gets credit for six points as an offensive player if he is starting and so does the special teams unit for which he plays.

So in the above example, if Dante Hall were started as a receiver on any team he would have scored 6 points for the TD. He receives no credit for any return yardage. The KC DT would also score 6 points for the return. This applies only to touchdowns, and not to fumble recoveries or interceptions no matter the circumstances.

Did we change this rule? If not, I believe RC beat ME this weekend because I was awarded a 3 point win, and MFL has not given Felix Jones points for his KO return.

I don't recall it coming up for debate....

Seems an asinine rule, if we subscribe to it.

He drafted Felix Jones. He started Felix Jones. Felix Jones busted his ass 97 yards through kickoff coverage to score. Why doesn't he get those points?

People still play like that? :whoa:

Reggie Bush would benefit from the rule as it stands. As his owner (yo name is Toby!) I will have to vote in favor of the rule as it is stated. The QB/WR logic applies in this situation methinks.

5.4 Appealing a Score: Sometimes errors occur when statistics are reported or compiled. Any owner may appeal the score of any team if he feels that an error has occurred.

5.4.1 To appeal a score an owner needs to contact the commissioner with his concerns and should present evidence to support his argument. After all of the evidence has been presented, the commissioner is obliged to make a ruling. All scores not already under appeal become final with the start of Sunday NFL play the following week.

5.4.2 If a team score is not under appeal by the start of the following week's Sunday NFL play, it becomes permanent record whether or not it is officially correct in the longer term i.e. two weeks or two decades.

Why count the same score twice? If you want to play kickoff and punt returners as offensive score, fine, go ahead, but the DEF AND the player shouldn't both get points, just because you happen to be playing him on the other side of the ball. One or the other should get the points.

Amazingly ignorant aren't you?

I believe your wetnurse has steered you wrong on this one, babycakes.
