XFlash Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Questions about typical scoring setup. I'm setting up a new league for some friends that are beginners (using MFL). It has been decades since I used team defenses. Can someone post your typical scoring for team defenses? Thanks in advance for your help!

DMD Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I'd say most common is 2 pts for turnover recovery, 1 pt sack, 2 pts safety, all TDs = 6 pts. Shutouts = 6 pts But there is a big variation. Can have pts for thresholds on holding down opponents score ie. shutout = 6 pts, 1-6 pts = 4 pts. 7-13 = 2 pts Some use 2 pt sacks. Or 5 pts safeties. I'd say 2 pts for turnover recovery, 1 pt sack, 2 pts safety, all TDs = 6 pts. Shutouts = 6 pts is the most common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was overthinking that tackles needed to be added like in IDP, but that would put team defense scoring to be more than the skilled positions. I'm assuming that return yds and TDs also go with Team Defense? Or is it separate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 We do 1pt/turnover, 1pt/sack, def TD scoring (not ST though) and think a shutout is only 4, with a scale down to 0 at 30 points. Our defensive scoring is very low, often below 5 points, TDs make them bounce up occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right - any punt or kick return, fumble or interception is credited to the Team Defense. But an offensive fumble lost that is later recovered for a TD is not a defense TD. The defense or special teams unit has to be on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) I like FFPC rules for team DF make them count not just some low ball position that doesn't matter. FFPC gets it right. 12 pts shutout 8 pts for holding a team to 2-6 pts 5 pts for holding a team to 7-10 pts 2 pts for turnover 1 per sack 6 TD Edited August 4, 2018 by Henry Muto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Though I prefer to do IDP over team defense for non high stakes contests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
