NFFL Rulebook: Section III: Scoring

Section III- Scoring
A. Scoring Criteria

NFFL players score points in the following ways:

*6 points for a touchdown scored
*4 points for a touchdown pass
*1 point for every 25 passing yards
*1 point for every 10 rushing yards
*1 point for every 10 receiving yards
*2 points for every two-point conversion scored
*1 point for every two-point conversion pass

B. Scoring Philosophy

The NFFL does not allow any individual player to post a negative score.  The league recognizes the apparent contradiction of including games where a player posted negative yardage as part of the keeper value calculation yet not allowing those same players to score 'less' than zero points in a given week.  Scoring calculated in this way simply reinforces the emphasis placed on avoiding negative weekly scores ahead of other considerations.

In the interest of maintaining whole-number (integer) scores, the NFFL does not recognize decimal point scoring.

Scoring is meant to reflect what happened in actual NFL games. Therefore, the NFFL will recognize adjustments to statistics determined in the days following the conclusion of NFL games.  In order to minimize confusion, the NFFL will recognize scoring updates and stats adjustments as posted by the host website (currently Yahoo).

However, in the interest of maintaining the excitement of watching games unfold live on fall weekends, the NFFL will consider adjustments to the above scoring criteria described above in the event that scoring updates become a frequent disruption to determining winners/losers in our weekly matchups.
