Profound Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) I have been in some weird leagues with some unique rules 1.) A shut-out on defense is worth 50 points 2.) If a player gets 100 yards receiving or 100 yards rushing it's worth an extra 10 bonus points 3.) The two teams that make the championship get the opportunity to do a redraft from the entire league, just the two of them 4.) Roster of QB WR/RB/TE WR/RB/TE WR/RB/TE WR/RB/TE WR/RB/TE WR/RB/TE Def Kicker Personally I hated number 2 the most because if a player got 98 yards and 2 TDs they got basically just as much as a player with 100 yards and no TDs. What have you guys come across and which one do you enjoy the most or least? Edited December 21, 2018 by Profound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 We have a head coach position in our league where you can receive/lose points based on margin of victory/loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezagenius Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I really hate the bonus points for 100 yards rush/rec or 300 yards passing. It's completely arbitrary. I've played in leagues where you get 3 bonus pts for a 20-39 yard TD and 6 bonus points for a 40+ yard TD. That wasn't so bad. Some players that lived or died on those deep bombs like DeSean Jackson could score a lot of points. A buddy of mine is in a league where it is 1 pt per reception, rush, and completion. He said the point totals get out of hand in that league. Not sure I'd like to play in a league like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Saw an alternative to PPR where you got the scoring below (or something close) due to complaints against certain RB/WR getting a lot of points from lots of catches for very few yards. Havent played in a league like this. 0-9 yards: 0.25 ppr 10-19 yards: 0.5 ppr 20-29 yards: 0.75 ppr 30+ yards: 1 ppr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one QB, one K, one defense and all the rest are flex WR/RB/TE There is one guy who was complaining he doesn't get to start enough tight ends this year. Figured he will just throw his money away now, lol. Who wants to start more than one TE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it on CBS, they have stuff with targets as well as receptions, first down receptions (or rate), average per reception and receptions of 20+ or 40+ You could do PPR stuff then another one for average per reception to try and even it out. We still don't do PPR so not a factor for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millworkguy Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 start offensive linemen, i'm sure we could invent a scoring system for them (runs over x yards gained) ( ypc, time in the pocket ...) allow substitutions at half time... take 1 player out, sub in another - (must be posted prior to 90 min after kickoff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) If you play in a D/ST league have the the performance of the team you play impact your opponents players. IE: You play say the Rams D/ST and they hold their opponent to under 100 rushing yards but give up 400 passing yards You could create rules that subtract a % of points from any RBs your opponent starts and adds a % of points to the QB position. For WRs & TEs the % would be based off yardage distribution. Alas, no management software can handle this so it'd never come to fruition. Also, you can still keep normal D/ST scoring for sacks, fumbles etc. The key, beyond a league manager coming up with the ability to run this, would be to create arbitrary thresholds for rushing, passing, receiving, 1st downs, 3rd down conversion etc. Basically this is Full Impact Scoring for D/ST instead of IDP.

Starts with 5 points and gets 1 pt. for every 25 yards rushing and 1 pt. for every 25 yards passing. -1 pt. for each sack they allow.

Judge Smales Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I always thought it would be interesting to give each owner one "Mulligan" for the season to swap out a player in their lineup after the games are over. This biggest problem would be how to set up the rules on when to use it and how to set it up. If someone uses it on you can you also yours or would you have to blindly post to use it by Wed and it the other didn't use his then only your would apply. Only use in Regular season or save to the playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Smales Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 One thing we have done for a few years is to allow owners to post backup players for anyone who is questionable in the final injury report. If the questionable player does not play then the backup player is used. If they player gets any targets or stats they are deemd to have played. If they show up in the play by play listing (i.e. penalty on them) they are also deemed to have played. This really helps for the late start game time decision players and allowing owners to play their best lineups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millworkguy Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Would love to see an idea of how to get points for penalties called for/against them. You draw a P.I. penalty in the end zone on 3rd or 4th down, and therefore end up with the ball on the 1 and a new set of downs, that should be worth some points. Your idp goes offside on 4th and 1, giving the offense 5 yards and a new set of downs , you should lose points....

MTSuper7 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I think a DST should get a point for turnovers on downs. I’ve never seen that rule enacted anywhere before in any of my leagues, but a turnover is a turnover and should reward the DST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pondered this in my main league as we're all based in England so TNF, SNF and MNF are usually too late for us to find out about gametime decision for these players. Went against though in the end.
