Players Challenge Scoring System

We’ve taken a simplified and streamlined approach in formatting the scoring system for Players Challenge. No complicated formulas and unequal weighting for similar actions and criteria such as fumble recoveries and interceptions. The scoring is easy to understand and fair.

Offensive Statistic QB, WR, RB, TE, K
Touchdown 6 points
Passing Yards 1 point for every 25 yards
Rushing Yards 1 point for every 10 yards
Receiving Yards 1 point for every 10 yards
2 point conversion 2 points
Interception -2 points
Fumble Lost -2 points
Field Goal 0-39 yards = 3 points
40-49 yards = 4 points
50+ yards = 5 points
Extra Point 1 point

Defensive Statistic Defense
Touchdown 6 points
Safety 2 points
Interception 2 points
Fumble Recovery 2 points
Sack 1 point
Points Allowed 0-6 = 8 points
7-13 = 6 points
14-20 = 4 points
21-27 = 2 points
28+ = 0 points
Yards Allowed 0-49 = 12 points
50-99 = 10 points
100-149 = 8 points
150-199 = 6 points
200-249 = 4 points
250-299 = 2 points
300+ = 0 points

*** NOTES ***

  • Offensive Scoring (QB, RB, WR, TE) Scoring will be calculated according to the following example: If a QB throws for 200 yards, 2 TDs - rushes for 20 yards, 1 TD - and has 25 yards receiving, his point total for the week would be: 3 TDs = 18 points, 200yds Passing = 8 points, 20yds Rushing = 2 points, 25yds receiving = 2 points; or 30 total points for the week. Please note that, if you have an active QB and an active WR who play for the same NFL team, and your QB throws a touchdown pass to your WR, then you are credited with two touchdowns on the play and you receive 6 points for each touchdown (12 points total). Also, players on your active roster at an offensive position cannot receive individual offensive points for your team when they are on special teams.

  • Defensive / Special Team scores (TDs, Fumble Recoveries, INTs, Safeties or Sacks) Your defense is awarded points when any one of its members generates either a TD, INT, fumble recovery, safety or sack. Your defense also is awarded points for a kickoff or punt return that results in a TD. For instance, if your active defense is the Jets, and Santana Moss returns a punt for a TD, your defense (the Jets) gets 6 points. But in that same situation, a team using Moss as an active WR would NOT be awarded 6 points for the touchdown.

  • Fumbles Lost by an active player on your roster playing offense, special teams or defense will lose 2 points if they turn the ball over to the opposing team at any time during the game. For instance, if you have Santana Moss active at WR and he fumbles the ball away at any time while he is on the field your team will lose 2 points. This includes a fumble lost while returning a kick, punt, interception (if your WR were playing defense) or obviously while on offense at WR.

  • Defensive Points Allowed will take into account ALL the points allowed by the team as a whole. Be aware this includes points scored against the offense (TD from an interception, safeties, etc.) and special teams (punt return for a TD) as well as those scored against the defense.

  • Defensive Touchdowns are any touchdowns scored by the defensive team. This includes fumble returns and interception returns.

  • Special Teams Touchdowns are touchdowns scored by punt returns, kickoff returns or returns of a blocked Field Goal kick or punt.

  • To calculate the Total Yards Allowed, simply add the other team's Total Rushing and Total Passing Yards gained.

  • Rounding will NOT be used when calculating points from statistics. For example 49 yards rushing will result in 4 points.
