Incompletions

[Dolomite]

My league deducts points for incomplete passes. Is there a way to account for that in the Compiler? I see "pass attempts" and "pass completions" - can those be finagled to come up with negative points for incompletions?

Yes they can be used together to create scoring for incompletions.

 

Suppose you score -1 point per 1 incompletion. The scoring you would need to enter is:

 

-1 per pass attempt

+1 per completion

 

Let's see if I've got this:

 

QB throws 2 for 5: 3 incompletions = -3 OR -5 + 2 = -3

 

QB throws 4 for 9: 5 incompletions = -5 OR -9 + 4 = -5

 

QB throws 0 for 4: 4 incompletions = -4 OR =4 + 0 = -4

Our league runs it a bit different, so the above math doesn't wok....

 

If my QB went 4 for 9, it would be -1 point. +4 for completions and -5 for incompletions. So I guess you could come up with it doing the following.

 

-.5 for attempts and +1 for completions....

 

same example would get you -.45+4 = -.5.... I think the math would lose it a bit with different combinations, but it may be close enough.

Do do this you have to put -1 for an attempt and +2 for a completion. So in effect when the QB throws the ball it is -1 right off the bat and then if it is completed it is +2 for a total of +1 for the completion. If the QB does not complete the pass it is -1 for the attempt and 0 for the completion, for a total of -1

 

It works out.
