Points per reception rule. This will apply to all receptions, regardless of player position. The current rule is 0.2 points per reception. Before 2012, there were no points per reception.

[Jack Quinn]

ok I don't like the points per reception. .5 points per reception, a guy gets thrown to 10 times and gets 12 yards and you get 5 points for that? You shouldn't get points for being a target, you should get points for production

[DevSop]

If that 3 yard catch is for a first down, that is production and should be worth more than .3 points. Adding a .5 or at worst a .3 to that catch means something. It also balances the points between the big play WR's who catch 2 passes for 80 yards and the other receiver who catches 8 for 50 yards. Both should be worth the same.

[Jack Quinn]

but we don't reward first downs, so that doesn't matter. I think the YAC should be the reward, not the reception. I mean, if a guy catches a pass for a loss, you still benefit, that doesn't seem right

[The Canadian Content]

PPR seems like an unnecessary additional stat. I'm voting for 0.

[DevSop]

I'm not sure how else to explain this. PPR is necessary to try and narrow the gaps that exist between QBs and RB/WR and it's also necessary to narrow the gap between big play receivers; think Torrey Smith who might catch 3 passes for 100 yards and score 10 points without .5 ppr or 11.5 with compared to a possession receiver; think Anquan Boldin who catches 8 passes for 70 yards and scores 7 points without .5 ppr or 11 points with .5 ppr. To me they should have equal value.

[Jack Quinn]

I still think of the - admittedly rare - cases where your reciever could have a catch for negative yards, and still gain your points. If you want to narrow the gap between QB and WR/RB then we should be giving the QB's less points, not rewarding WR's for potentially getting negative yards

[DevSop]

And the receiver gets negative points for the yardage. So that's not an issue. QB points are as low as they can go I think. I just don't see how adding a tiny bit of scoring each week per team is a bad thing.

[Jack Quinn]

I am not saying its bad, I am just wondering why it is even necessary. It's worked just fine as it is

[DevSop]

We had .2 ppr this year. I don't think it's enough. Just because it's "fine" doesn't mean it can't be better.

Because you almost won and that can never happen again.

[Sportsguy]

I'm voting for 0.2 points per reception, .5 seems too high for me

[Attitude Adjuster]

Poll is closed. Looks like we're going back to the 2011 rule with no points allowed for receptions.

[DevSop]

This is so fucking stupid.

When I saw on the side that you had the last response, I knew, before I clicked on the thread, that it was you complaining about the results.

If you don't like it, then pull a Gator circa 2012 Wrestling Draft, and leave. No one is holding you hostage. There are plenty of leagues out there (and I'm sure you are a part of one or two) that allow points per reception. Don't be a whiny jerk just because people happen to disagree with you. And I'm saying that as someone who wouldn't have cared one iota if the majority would have voted for the points per reception. And if it is that big a deal to you, bring it up next year and maybe the four people who didn't vote will place a vote and it'll pass through next year.

[DevSop]

I'm not sure what your fucking problem is. But I think this is stupid. I said so. I never talked about leaving the league. I never said it was a make or break proposition. But take your whiny jerk and go fuck yourself with it.

[Eric O'Mac]

I don't have a problem. I'm just tired of you whining every time something doesn't go your way.

Either way it's cool. I offered viable suggestions for you. One was extreme, but the rest were good ideas that I would hope you at least looked at before you decided to take my head off.

Enjoy your day, Dev.

[DevSop]

Didn't whine. Just expressed my disappointment with an unnecessary reversion to what I believe are bad rules. Never ever mentioned anything about leaving the league. Never even considered it. But if you want me gone, maybe you should make a poll.

[Deadly]

Calm down. It's fucking fantasy football. You guys still won't back my rule change, but I'm not telling everyone to go fuck themselves.

[Attitude Adjuster]

Dev: You're starting to open the door to the "Pain in the Ass" Rule. I mentioned this rule would roll into the C&B Football league from the C&B Baseball league, and I just made the executive decision that it is now a binding rule in the football league. The rule is as follows:

Anyone who makes lopsided trades that create unnecessary turbulence in the league--or anyone who consistently complains about trades that are fair--will be penalized with the removal of draft picks--up to a fifth rounder. Penalties will be handed down by the commissioners and can not be appealed. You don't like it? Leave. Because by the time you're penalized, you're already pissing us off. This will become a subset of the "AA is an Asshole" rule.

For those of you not aware, the "AA is an Asshole" rule was created by Lucky when I found and abused loopholes in the league rules. I did it good-naturedly just to bug Lucky, but that's beside the point. Consider it the same as the content all professional athletes have in their contracts about "conduct detrimental to the league." This rule includes bitching of any kind that makes anyone think "Jesus, you're acting like a 5-year-old."

Eric: Stop baiting Dev. Please. Even if it is entertaining to you.

[DevSop]

I'm curious how I'm being an ass. I don't like the rule change. I stated that opinion. That's all I did.

[DevSop]

And I can be an ass...how are we at 0 ppr when 5 people voted for .5, 1 person voted for .2 and only 4 voted for 0?

When the poll closed, it was 5-4 for 0 points. I didn't put a lock on the vote. Someone changed their vote.

[Deadly]

As "Assistant to the GM" I'm siding with Alan here. Dev, you knew what the vote was when Alan called it. That's why you said "This is so fucking stupid".

And honestly, who gives a shit? Bring it up again next year. That's what I plan to do (again) with my cut keeper/free agent rule change.

[Eric O'Mac]

Just for the record, I sent Dev an apology via text message. I don't want him gone, and I honestly wasn't trying to bait him, but I can see how that's how it came off. My bad, everybody.
