Alright, well get a poll for decimal scoring going.

Couple questions- this will apply to yardage totals for QB/RB/WR/TE...kickers and D's, and all other scoring options for the previously mentioned positions will remain the same right?

And also, with rushing receiving yardage that'll be easy. .10 yards equals 1 pt. Becomes 1 yard equals 0.1 pts.
But, passing yards are currently set at 1 point per 25 yards. Obviously we can't do 0.1 pts. per 2.5 yards. .so do we do 0.1 per 2 yards, or 0.1 per 3 yards?

Yes, as the guys stated, you do .04 point for each passing yard which give you one full point for every 25 yards passing. If a guy had 10 yards passing it would be .4 points, if he had 22 yards passing is would be .88 points. And yes kickers and D's and all other scoring would stay the same in my opinion.

And to another point, you guys are all using a weekly tie against your head-to-head opponent as a difference maker for decimal scoring, but you all need to remember that the first tiebreaker in our standings is breakdown record and ties can make a huge difference there. Yes we didn't have any ties last year in the head-to-head weekly matchups, but there were 22 breakdown ties in the A league and 32 breakdown ties in the B league. That can make a huge difference in the breakdown standings. Not to mention there were 105 ties in the MBBRL wide breakdown, so you guys all just made my life a lot easier in doing the standings sheet.

As for the first down thing - well, you potentially 'add' reward to a guy for gaining less yardage than the the one who ran for the first 9 to get them there.

You're rewarding points for moving the chains on the field not the yardage just like rewarding a player for making a catch or getting into the endzone

Sorry, those examples are not even close to the same thing. .... try again.

Sorry they are when a player goes in from one inch he gets 6 points for a TD just like he would get 1 point getting a first

Well, that example does makes more sense, however, we're not doing first down points here so it really doesn't matter. The issue was decimal scoring. I only pointed out the first down thing because of the 'traditional' arguments being used by obvious non-traditional thinkers.

Okay I am certainly glad that we got all of that out of the way. We have our draft order set, we have a draft date and time, and we are going to do decimal scoring. But now what the hell do we do for the next 3 months?

We debate the finer points as to why Yeldon is a bust, Ivory will take his job, CJ Anderson will be the third string Denver RB..and while even though that's all true, my teams will still suck even after avoiding them at all costs.


Wait. .we've already done the first part. ..shit

Happy Father's Day guys. .... it's a tough job coming up with new ways to say; "go ask your mother".

 

[TREFF]

Thanks Lefty! Same to you.

Why you trying to start a fight?

 

[TREFF]

Happy independence day all you fellow Americans..happy Monday to you Canadiens!

Just sitting here thinking about the old days on CBS - guess maybe it was seeing a post from DUB. Can anyone name the original 12 MBBRL members? Bet @wilwhite has a list somewhere. ....

 

[TREFF]

WW, Lefty, Fuzzy, Foot, Dub, Duff, TKO, myself, boomer sooner, Ram Tough, Scape, and Sam....I think. .

Edited..naw, Joe was in there somewhere, maybe Joe, not Ram?

I think you are correct, Ram came in a little later. ..... pretty sure Joe was a charter member - think that's probably it .... forgot about Boomer and Scape. ..... lot of changes over the years. Next on memory lane: First year was ?????

First year on ESPN was 2013, so 2011. 2012 was the year the Barbarians were created, and that Tlance began his domination of all of us

Hummm, actually thought it was farther back than that. Seems we were on CBS for years - - but I imagine we bantered topics and issues for a year or 2 before establishing the league - - - sound right ??

It could've been 2010 and then 2011 Barbarians, memory is a bit hazy, wish I had access to those CBS leagues, or that the old massage board existed to go back and see some of that. Anyone who thinks I was hard on Milk should go read some of the classic debates between Foot and I, and he lived. But anyways, I know it cane together fairly quick since everyone just wanted a basic no frills standard league just to determine who was the best of the best, not to determine who could manipulate a fancy scoring system better than the others.
