TBL3 2016 Proposed Rule Changes

[benhawk]

Let me start off by saying I love this league and really appreciate everything Shaun (and Joe & Aaron) do to keep it going.  I'm only 2 years deep and the last thing I want to do is walk in the door and act like I own the place.  That said, because the door was opened, I'd like to toss out a couple comments on the scoring:

1) WR (adjust bonuses?)
Below is a real-world example from my team...
Player A: 3rec/89yds/1TD = 34pts
Player B: 9rec/84yds/1TD = 32pts
Obviously the TD for Player A was a long score, but hopefully this example speaks for itself how the bonuses (for all positions) for long TDs could be decreased.

2) QB (negative points)
In general, I would ask for the negative points be lessened.  The difference between a bad game and great game for a QB is over 100pts!  Even the difference between a mediocre game and a great game is 75+ points.  I'd like to see that gap closed a bit.

3) RB (bonuses)
If we're going to keep the ypc bonus, I feel strongly that there should be graduated increments between the bonuses.  Right now...
4.5ypc = 5pts
6ypc = 10pts
I'd suggest something more like the following...
4.5 - 4.79ypc=5pts
4.8 - 5.09ypc=6pts
5.1 - 5.39ypc=7pts
5.4 - 5.69ypc=8pts
5.7 - 5.99ypc = 9pts
6ypc + = 10pts

Thanks for hearing me out guys!

I would probably also add:
4.20 - 4.49ypc = 2pts
or 3pts

I would actually want to INCREASE negative points for QB's, especially on Pick 6's. There should be an additional -6 on top of the -5 Interception deduction IMO.

1. I would like to remove the payout for the Toilet Bowl winner. Getting $105 and 100 BLBs for 7th place is ridiculous to me. I think the 100 BLBs is enough reward and motivation.

2. I would like to see the consolation game winner get $100 and the loser get $50. This better rewards the teams and owners whom are successful and likely most active in the league.

I like the idea of not paying out the toilet bowl winner an entry fee but still keeping the blb. Also agree that we should reward more teams in the playoffs.

We are still looking into the points adjustments that were mentioned above, unfortunately I have gotten a little busy lately and have not had as much time as I would like to talk to the other members of the BOD about these ideas.

A small idea, copying what we do in TBL2.... When buying out contract years the 1st year would cost 10BLBs and 5BLBs for each other years. So if someone was on a 3 year deal, it would be 10 for 1st and 10 for 2nd and 3rd??? Just a thought.
