Return yards are a lot easier to get than receiving or rushing yards. I say 1 per 15-20-25.

Also weeks 15 and 16 for playoffs. Definitely NOT week 17 because teams rest players and that is a killer (I'm looking square at my own Colts here).

[Thelomen Toblerone]

So 1pt per 25 kick/punt return yards is ok, yeah?

I'd hoped to avoid week 17 too, our league size certainly allows for that possibility so it would be favourable. Shall we go for a 4 team playoffs in weeks 15 and 16?

[HoosierDaddy]

Either that, or 6 teams in 14-15-16 (especially if we have divisions because then the winners would get byes into the semi-finals).

[Thelomen Toblerone]

If I stick it in 2 divisions, everyone would still play eachother once, right?

[HoosierDaddy]

I would think so... I don't know if I've ever played divisions in a Yahoo league. On NFL.com the max was 12, so you'd play your 3 division teams twice and the 8 other teams once then go into playoffs. I have no idea how that would work on Yahoo. If it doesn't, we could just make it regular and go with 4 teams in the playoffs.

4 out of 14 is a pretty rough percentage for playoff births. 6 out of 14 might be a little lenient. I'm just tossing out options.

[Thelomen Toblerone]

I;ve only doen the standard nfl.com 12 team 3 division one before, but I would assume it's similar. Just with 14 teams, 3 divisions is not really feasible, numbers-wise, I think 2 is our only option (or one).

I would assume everyone would play eachother once in two divisions, there's no other real alternative. The only problem with 6 playoff teams is that weeks 14, 15, 16 and 17 would then be off limits to at least 8 players, which might be thought of as a bit harsh. 4 teams and everyone gets an extra week to rescue it.

Then again, the top 3 of each 7 division would have a crack at the title still, which would liven up the regular season.

Fiddle around with it and see what happens. If we break it we can always start a new league. We've got plenty of time!

I'm signed up ladies. 6 teams sounds good to me, but it really doesnt matter.

Scoring looks good. I prefer RB/WR, but i'm good either way.

So, to sum up, I'm signed up with no solid preferences.

[KalamMekhar]

honestly a qb should get more than -1 for throwing an interception imo, and should get 6 for the TD as well.

[KalamMekhar]

also the 25 per point for return yards is good, ive done it with 20 per point, but giving the return players makes them very viable, expecially if they are running limited roles on the offense as well.

[KalamMekhar]

also was it discussed about ppr? like half a point per reception or rush?

Its up to TT, but i HATE this.

Actually receptions would be ok, but not rush.

I'm not a big fan of the points per reception, but I could live with it. Points per rush I've never even heard of and would make running backs even more dominant than they already are in the game.

Edit: Me and SB have our twin-fu very strong at the mo'.

Managed to ninja some wireless for a bit; I'm signed up. When will the draft start?

[Eddie Dean]

I agree w/ SB and HD about points per rush.

[Volkh]

I've never done the points for return yards, and not really a fan of it. i like how players get points for scoring a TD on it though, that's standard. Also not a fan of PPR stuff. My friends league were i usually play has really standard and simple rules and is really strait forward. Pretty much how you have things set up now minus the PPR and return yards. Also love the idea of 3rd slot being WR/TE!

Volkh, are you ready for some football!!!

Signed up. Hairball Express.

Of the stuff people have said since my last post:

The consensus seems to be the more people want return yards than not, but even those that do dont want them to score highly, so I think 1pt per 25yds should be ok.

Im not so keen on PPR myself, but if over 50% want it Im not adverse to including it. I will rule out pts per rush though, that way a p*ss-poor RB picks up so many pts he doesnt deserve.

I agree with the QB interception, but not the TD due to the balance - 6pts per passing TD I think is too much, QBs would end up scoring loads even on an average performance - even 150yds and 2 TDs would fetch 18pts, which is a bit much really. Im open to maybe increasing a passing TD to 5 and interceptions to -2, what does everyone think about that?
