Apollo Creed 9 Posted September 9, 2008 fellas...we are in a yahoo custom league and the commish is having trouble making a scoring correction with one of the teams. Minn Def gave up 17pts.. but is docked for 24pts. How can he make the change? Instead of Minn def should have 9pts not 4.. any help would be work... Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 5,567 Posted September 9, 2008 Points the offense lets up goes against the defense. That's just how it works. He'll be making these changes every week, because it happens every week. HTH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quickolas1 80 Posted September 9, 2008 oh geez once a team has a turnover, the offensive players are on defense...and it's team defense, isnt it? your league is asking to open up a real can of worms "well that shouldn't count against my D...the QB turned the ball over at his own 1 yard line and the next play, they scored !"

We make these kind of corrections in my league and haven't had many problems with it. Admittedly, we use a system where a DST unit scores -1 pt per point allowed so we think it's necessary. We generally just count on owners to notify the commish, by Tuesday. THe commish then makes the changes manually after checking official boxes. We don't use Yahoo however so no advice for the OP.

We were discussing this literally today in our league's bulliten board. My understanding (as commish) was that turnover TD's counted in the totals. I was corrected by one of my league members who posted this link: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/football/...ootball-75.html Please Note: Points scored against the team's offensive unit (e.g., interception and fumble returns for TDs, FG blocks returned for Touchdowns, and safeties) are not counted in the Points Allowed category. I couldn't see in the points settings anywhere to change the option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pecos Rattlers 5 Posted September 10, 2008 As stated, they already don't count points scored against the offense. However, the TD you are probably referring to was scored on special teams, not against the offense, which Yahoo does count against the defense.

washers 0 Posted September 10, 2008 exactly, you draft a defense/special teams, thats what d/st stands for right? points scored against special teams count to total points allowed, up to the league to have turnover TDs by the offense count or not, so many things can be solved by a league vote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plasma george 52 Posted September 10, 2008 17points....24 points....for a Defense ? You gotta be kindding me....defenses outscoring 1st round selections...this needs to be changed ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cretins 21 Posted September 10, 2008 17points....24 points....for a Defense ?You gotta be kindding me....defenses outscoring 1st round selections...this needs to be changed ! Re-read the question. Final score of Min vs. GB was 24-19 in GB's favour. The original poster was saying that their league thought only 17 points should be used in calculations as that's all that was scored against Minny's actual defencive unit. There's no mention of what Minny's D scored in their league. 17 or 24 would indeed be crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 816 Posted September 10, 2008 ALL points against count, regardless of how they're made. That's how it's been in every league I've ever seen in 10+ years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cretins 21 Posted September 11, 2008 ALL points against count, regardless of how they're made. That's how it's been in every league I've ever seen in 10+ years. As per above, that's apparently not the case at Yahoo: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/football/...ootball-75.html I thought the same as you until this past Monday when one of the managers in one of my leagues posted that link to correct me.
