Scoring Rules, Comments, and Maybe a Book?
I've had a couple of questions asking me how I calculate the fantasy points. Here is the scale that I've been using (I hope this is basically the defacto standard for scoring):
- Passing: 1pt for 30 yards. TD = 6. Int = -2.
- Rushing: 1pt for 10 yards. TD = 6.
- Receiving: 1pt for 10 yards. TD = 6.
- Fumble: -2pts.
- Kicking: Field Goal = 3. Extra Point = 1.
- Defense: Sack = 1. Int = 2. Fumble Recovery = 2
Do other rulesets vary from this widely? If so, please feed my comments.
Onto other things: I've re-configured the blog to allow comments to be posted without my approval. Approval was required by default. I can't enable anonymous comments, though. It must be a university wide blog restriction, I'm not sure.
Finally, I've got so many thoughts in my heads about ways we can crunch these numbers. I've been throwing the idea around of putting a book together. Something boring with a title like, "The Analytics of Fantasy Football". Maybe in the range of 200-300 pages. Just a thought right now, it might be nice to try to put something together over the course of the season, though.
