Any Rule Changes?

[Laimbeer40]

Are there any changes to the rules that should be under consideration prior to next season?

I definitely plan to look into the scoring a little. There are some stats like hurries that are a little wonky. Won't be any league altering changes though.

I would just add that if we consider a change which would reduce defensive points scored, that we also consider a similar change on offense.

I like Hurries, but they do seem a bit subjective. QB Hits seem a bit more objective, for example. But I think your rules are great, and I really appreciate all of the time and energy that you put into this league. I enjoy being a part of it.

I think Hurries was a bit ridiculous last few years but feel like after Fantrax had the scoring mishap and changed services they were cut down drastically.

I wouldn’t be looking to reduce defensive scoring by the way. Rather would be looking to either alter some of the other D categories to make up for a removal of hurries or find another stat to replace.

Also thanks for the kind words 4sFull. Appreciate how you have righted the ship in Tampa.

Thinking of the following changes for defensive scoring...

Hurries: Move from 3 pts to 1 pt
Int Yards: Move from 0.1 pts to 0.2 pts

Add QB Hits for 2 pts
Add Tackles For Loss for 2 pts

I like TFL being added, but note that a sack will get credit for both a sack and a TFL, so maybe an adjustment downward in sacks?

Never tracked QB hits before, but logically, I think the same double-up would apply

Good call. I will shoot a note to Fantrax to verify if those stats would double dip.

I'm good with whatever changes you decide, but I would want some clarity from Fantrax on how those are scored. And even if they are as long as we know ahead of time then great.

After further review going to strike QB Hits. Don't like that they double dip.

Here are the ones I am pretty firm on adding/altering...
Hurries: Move from 3 pts to 1.5 pts
Int Yards: Move from 0.1 pts to 0.2 pts
Add Sack Yards for 0.1
Add Tackles For Loss for 2 pts (verified this does not include sacks)

These are changes I would like for people to weigh in on...
Receiver Drops: Set at -0.5 (I figure if you get 1 PPR, you should at least get penalized for a drop)
Penalty Yards: Set at 0.1 (This could add a ton of value to DB's. Think of the DPI penalties. This one is a little more exotic)

Fred Smoot would be the top rated defender if he got points for all his penalty yards.  Fingers crossed he comes out of retirement!
