96.75 to 96.74

[bjsteel 34]

This is the final score in one of my MFL leagues, been doing this for 20+ years, never seen this kind of score before...crazy.

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

.01? Smallest I've seen.

 

My closest victory was .17 I think.

[Serpent 51]

It happens sometimes. The worst part is that there are corrections that can change the result entirely. I missed the playoffs one year because of that, got plucked from the 3rd seed to right out of the playoffs after the brackets were already up.

[track 1 16]

i've won by .001 before

 

 

we play to 3 decimal places in my big money league

[TheUsualSuspect 207]

A usual, I will be in the minority on this one but...

 

Scoring using decimals is well... Absurd.

It's necessary to eliminate ties. One year I tied a guy twice in head to head matchups.

 

Plus if your player gets 9 yards rushing or receiving you shouldn't get 0 for that.

During regular season play, what is wrong with a tie? Can make the playoff picture interesting going into the playoffs. BTW, Tieing the same person twice in the same season is highly unlikely and that scenario will not happen again in your lifetime.

 

As for your second statement, why... And says who?

 

It's your opinion... Your preference, and that's cool. Nothing to argue here. It's FF, and league settings differ even ever so slightly from league to league and that's why you and I choose to play in the leagues we do.

 

Personally, I like to keep it simple... If I lost by a fractional point, I would consider jumping off a high building the next morning. There is no fractional points in professional sports, so why should it be implemented in FF scoring? I guess I think it's just awkward... For instance, you go into work Tuesday morning and talk FF with a co worker,

 

Guy #1 "Hey Tom, how's your FF team looking?

Guy #2 "Great, I won this week! ... One hundred and fourteen point eighty three to one hundred and eleven point ninety four. Going into Monday Night, I was down one hundred and three point fourteen to one hundred and two point seventy-seven BUT, Ganos made 3 field goals and three extra points for the W."

 

Guy #1 "Cool. I lost 90-80."

[tanatastic 2,061]

I'm ok either way, but in wk 1 I tied in a .5 ppr league. I know it's not.01 but still, tieing in a .5 ppr seems like low odds.

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

Without fractional points you can still lose by fractions. If a couple of your player had 9 yards rushing or receiving and you lose by 1, then you lost by .2 (or 2 yards). If you utilize fractional scoring, you could have won by .8

 

Fractional scoring keeps it more interesting IMO.

[tigeru 65]

I'm up by the 9 yards going in MNF. I needed the .9

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

I won in my money league by 1.73 The .90 from Cobb (29 yds receiving), the .2 from AJ Green, the .10 from Stacy, the .10 from PT, the .4 from Delanie Walker, the .3 from J. Bell all made it possible.

[joeshushu 51]

I have played in Yahoo leagues without fractional scoring and used their tie breaking system. I think the first tie breaker was most TD then best QB performance all the way down to a coin flip (could you imagine after all year setting line ups your Super Bowl comes down to a coin flip !!). I think I got down to the 3rd tie breaker in one playoff game years ago.

This. Fractional scoring is the fairest way. But Thursday corrections can screw you so don't count those chickens.

[tigeru 65]

I'm up 91.9-91 with Marshall tonight. I'm not counting any animals.

[plasma george 52]

You need decimals cause it rewards EVERY single yard your players get.

If you win by .4....that means your players have more yards than the other guys.....quite simple if you ask me.

41 yards is not the same as 48 yards.,.....48 wins.

[Law 220]

I am becoming more and more intrigued with the decimal scoring. You have to separate the fact that, for example, 1 point for 10 rushing yards is only part of the scoring. It sets the scoring. But how that scoring is recorded is something else. My main leagues currently do the hard line of 10 or nothing. When you have several guys end with a 9, it gets frustrating. As someone said, rewarding players for every yard makes some sense. Now, that it helps minimize ties is an added bonus.

 

My main league is also an IDP and we have .5 for assisted tackles. This also helps with ties.

 

A tie isn't a problem in the regular season, but it is in the playoffs.

 

 

And about stat corrections, my main league implemented a rule that all game results as of Tuesday morning are final. The reasoning behind this is that that week is over and the league has moved on to the next week. We didn't want to be thinking about the previous week all week, to have the idea or threat of stat corrections looming over us. There has to be a point that one week ends and another starts. For us, that was Tuesday. Waiver order is set and waivers go through on Wednesday. IF a stat correction changes a game result, then the waiver order we just went through would have been different. Not to mention that someone who had a win now doesn't and vice versa. Just a mess. Luckily this has not happened often. It was an issue a couple of times one season a few years ago, hence the rule, but the whole issue hasn't come up again.

 

I believe Yahoo is the only one who does these corrections on Thursdays. Way too late in my opinion.

I wouldn't have thought there were leagues that didn't use decimal scoring.

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

Decimal scoring or nothing

[mgs316 14]

How do you get xx.74 points? What is providing the second decimal place?

[HOKIEZ 34]

I TIED in the championship two years ago due to a stat correction, on a wednesday that week. I believe 49ers DEF was credited with another sack. I think we tied like 95.45-95.45 or something like that. Of course I won the tie breaker and the title. But what are the odds of tying a matchup?

[giraldi02 470]

Fractional quarterback passing yards

[Huh? 7]

Non-decimal scoring is a relic from the days where some poor sap had to do everybody's stats by hand or on a lotus spreadsheet while looking in the newspaper.

 

In my first couple years, the Chicago Sun Times stats were the "official" stats of the league since different newspapers would have slightly different numbers. We always rounded to the nearest 1 in either direction though so you wouldn't get screwed when your guy gets 39 or 49 yards. We just didn't give the milestone bonus unless they actually reached the threshold.

Decimal scoring is stupid...

[bubba29 3]

we get a tenth of a point for every yard. how do leagues give hundredths of even thousandths of points?

[plasma george 52]

It's the QB scoring, 1pt for 20 yards, or 1 pt for 25 yards......It's genius for 2 reasons, one for every yardage total has it's own value....and it eliminates Ties.

 

RB, WR, and TE are all easy at 1pt / 10 yards, so it's just a tenth place, 71 = 7.1.

[GobbleDog 816]

My leagues wants to add fractional scoring for Kickers but CBS doesn't have that option.

 

A 30 yard field goal should be 3 points, while a 39 yarder should be 3.9.

[plasma george 52]

We used to do that.... BUT, it makes Kickers scoring too high.

3-4 FGs and extra points could be 15-20 FF points.....that's top stud production from a random nerd kicking a football......that's a lot when another great Kicker just had 3 extra points through no fault of his own.

I hate Kickers

I'm giving serious thought to eliminating Kickers. I know, I know, they're people too. I get that. But when one K gets 4-5 XPs and no FGs one week and then reverses that the next week, it is almost totally random. Who can predict 5 FGs from Nugent this year? Or even that Suisham would score big last night and not Go Gano?

 

Really thinking this year might be the last year of Kickers for me.

[SaintsInDome2006 128]

This is the final score in one of my MFL leagues, been doing this for 20+ years, never seen this kind of score before...crazy.

 

This happened in a league I'm in week 1.

 

Tuned in Thursday and the score had been flipped by CBS somehow, not clear how.

[murf74 461]

I wouldn't have thought there were leagues that didn't use decimal scoring.

You got that right.

[murf74 461]

Decimal scoring is stupid...

You don't like points for every yard just the magic 0.1th....the one fraction that actually rounds to the next to the 10th? Sure makes a ton of sense.

[iam90sbaby 2,121]

Lets just say the league your in has QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/TE/FLEX while it isn't likely you could have 73 more yards with standard scoring and still tie. Doesn't seem fair to me. Decimal or nothing.

I think the NFL should reward like 1.8 points for almost getting a touchdown, but I'm probably in the minority.

Exactly.

[bjsteel 34]

I think the NFL should reward like 1.8 points for almost getting a touchdown, but I'm probably in the minority.

Actually, if the runner goes 18yds and is down at the 1inch line, then yes, he would get 1.8pts.

[murf74 461]

I think the NFL should reward like 1.8 points for almost getting a touchdown, but I'm probably in the minority.

You guys are morons. It's .1 pt per yard. Nothing imaginary or almost about that. A very defined metric. You chose to make the 10th yard the only thing that counts. The other 9 yards don't count in your world. It's like they didn't happen. The nfl counts yards at a time not tens at a time. Get with the times ladies

 

Really silly guys.

[AnaheimRams 28]

I'm not calling bullshirt or anything on OP... but how do you get a .01 difference in scoring? Passing yards are going to be .04 (1 for 25) or .05 (1 for 20)... everything else should be in tenths.

 

So... what the fock?

[tigeru 65]

1/70 of a point for return yards

[TheUsualSuspect 207]

1/70 of a point for return yards

I hope you are joking.

 

So here's an analogy... We are mostly all guys here, and I'm sure you have all played Black Jack at you favorite casino.

 

Now, we don't need discuss bank rolls or who the big bettor is on these boards but on a $5 table the typical player will wager $5...$10... Maybe a green chip ($25).. $50... or even a cool $100.

 

Rarely, anyone bets $4... $12.50..$23... $72

 

Again, said TYPICAL player.

 

Round up, round down... But no need for these decimals and fractions. Keep it simple.
