FAQs: Scoring Rules

How do I enter my scoring rules?

  • Login to the Draft Analyzer and go to the Settings tab. Under the Optional Settings section click "Edit Scoring Rules". Choose the tab you would like to edit (Offensive, Kickers, Defensive). Then enter your scoring by clicking on the number you wish to edit and entering in a new value (Do NOT enter an equation into the point slots, only numbers). When you are finished, click SUMBIT and then close out of the window.

How do I personalize my scoring rules for my CBSSports.com or ESPN league?

  • If you download your CBSSports.com or ESPN league, you don’t need to personalize your scoring rules as the fantasy point values for all players in your league are downloaded directly from CBSSports.com and ESPN.com.
  • If you are unable to download your ESPN league (you aren’t connected to the Internet or have problems with Firewalls) you should manually personalize your scoring rules in the main set-up.
  • *** Desktop Version: The scoring rules will not be downloaded, only the fantasy point values...so you will still see the default scoring rules in the software although the actual fantasy points will be based on your on-line scoring system, not the default values in the software

Can your software support my leagues very unique scoring system?

  • We are 99% sure that we can! The Draft Analyzer supports the key components of most popular scoring systems required for draft day. The scoring system includes all of the standard and advanced performance categories used to project player values for draft day.
  • Note: Most projections include a fraction of the detail included in actual game stats (who wants to take the time to predict the number of 2 point conversions a TE might get? Or predict the yardage of all 49 of Peyton Manning’s TDs?). Your league manager HAS to track this type of detail, however, your projections don’t. For most people, the general yardage and scoring categories are enough to draft players with. However, the DA still enables the fantasy gurus to plug in the extra stats required to project special categories or bonuses. You will have to provide your own projections in some situations.
  • We will have position-specific scoring rules (Ex: 4 extra points for RB Rec TD) available on the Draft Analyzer by 8/10/2009.
