Roster requirements
offense - QB, 2xRB, 2xWR, TE, flex
defense - 3xDL, 3xLB, 3xDB, 2x defensive flex

Scoring for offense is somewhat standard and plain

QBs get 1:25 passing, 4:TD, -2:pick, -2:fumble
RBs get 1:10 rushing, 6:TD, -2:fumble
WRs get 1:10 receiving, 6:TD, -2:fumble
TEs get 1:10 receiving, 6:TD, -2:fumble
no kickers. Why? Because they suck and should stick to soccer.

Now, for the fun. IDP

you have choices. You start 3 each of the basics, then 2 flex positions….BUT….don’t automatically assume that you want to grab LBs.

The scoring is a combination of “big play” and standard tackle leagues combined, so that the top IDPers are just as important as the offensive peeps. However, DLs get bonuses for sacks, and DBs get bonuses for picks and passes defensed so that there is a reason to draft something other than a mike or a will

2 points per solo
.75 point per assist
5 bonus for solos > 15
5 points per fumble forced or recovered
6 per safety, 6 per TD
now, the differences come in sacks, picks, and passes defensed

DL and DB get 10 points per sack, LBs get 5
DBs get 10 points per pick, DL and LBs get 5
DBs get 2 points per pass defensed, DL and LB get 0.5

How does this result? Here’s the top 30 scoring for 2007:

thoughts? Interested? I already have the league set up on fleaflicker, and I’m soliciting peeps to play. Just let me know via email or PM or whatever

EDIT - and yes, I have an excel spreadsheet devised to calculate defensive scoring for this league back through 2003, as well as projections due to player movement (i.e. DJ Williams, David Harris, etc)

sounds deliciously evil count me in!!!

and how about making this a 14 team league-that will give it a little kick

Keth, you are an animal, and this looks like a total blast!  However, if I were to join one more league I'd never get any work done here at all.

Ahh, screw it…working at work is highly overrated…count me in.

8 slots of 12 filled

I’d rather have 16 teams, more IDP-McLovin’….
