rwren 2 Posted August 18, 2013 I set up a league awarding .1 per passing yard when I meant to calculate so that it would average 1 yard for every 25. This is a new league with 5 people who came over from a league we were in for 12 years where the passing yards were always 1 per 25. My intention was to change the QB scoring to decimal like our RBs and WRs except my brain farted and I didn't stop to think that the .1 per yard will give QBs astronomical averages. A couple guys brought it to my attention after the draft therefore I know at least 2 strategized based on this errant setting. My initial thought is that since I wrote this scoring into the official rules and since the draft is over that we have to keep things the way they are. The thing that bothers me is how this affects the competitive balance of our league when I'm guessing several owners including myself strategized our drafts based on 1 yard per 25. I'm more than willing to take my own medicine but I feel bad for the others. Any thoughts? Should I be upfront and admit my mistake and apologize or just be quiet and see what happens in week 1 when a bunch of QBs score 50 points? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaiderHaters Revenge 3,578 Posted August 18, 2013 happy medium? .07 It was an honest mistake, explain it to the league, and cut it down the middle. Apologize, but correct it some how. .1 per passing is ridiculous, Brees is easy no 1 player, hes gonna have 500 pts just from passing yards ouch Compare Brees to for example QB 11 Luck 5000 yds vs 4500 in a 0.04 per yard is 16 pts over a season, in a .1 its 50 pts, quite a difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuse9 128 Posted August 18, 2013 I agree with the above. Explain to everyone what happened. See how it goes over. If they complain to much go their house and punch them in the face in front of their wife and kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RamslovaMartzhata 3 Posted August 18, 2013 You can't change it if anyone drafted with .1 per passing yard in mind... Simple as that. If one person complains its over. You can say some people may have had .04 per passing yard in mind, but you would be penalizing those who knew the rules as they were set up on favor of those who assumed it was a different way. That beig said... It never hurts to ask. How many QBs went in the first two or three rounds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,310 Posted August 18, 2013 Should the owners have known it was a mistake going into the draft? If so, eff 'em, they should've done the right thing and brought it to your attention prior to the draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwren 2 Posted August 18, 2013 So I decided to make everyone aware of it and offered a free agent swap as means of compensation to anyone who drafted a QB based on a different scoring system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5Year1 23 Posted August 19, 2013 The rules were there for everyone to see and no one can assume that there was a mistake. You can't penalize after the fact those who drafted based on the posted rules. The season hasn't started, so people are free to now adjust their rosters using waivers based on the rules. I was in a league last year where the commissioner overvalued individual and special teams return yards. The affect was return specialists became very valuable. Some caught on before the draft and drafted return specialists and defenses who received a lot of kickoffs. Others saw these guys throwing up big numbers in week one and then people started grabbing the return guys like Trindon Holliday. It all evened out in the end.

mobb_deep 917 Posted August 19, 2013 Just fix it and tell them to deal with it. Most people need to be told what to do, and generally have no business thinking for themselves. That's why you're the commish and they're not. To make the tough decisions on behalf of everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rholio 339 Posted August 20, 2013 Tell everyone what happened, and offer to: 1) Correct the error or 2) correct the error and redraft. Let them know keeping the error in place isn't an option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
