Rules and Scoring
These are the default scoring rules for Failball. All values can be edited within League Settings. If you think we are forgetting something that we should be scoring, let us know!
A couple of things that will look different to long time Fantasy Football players, Kickers and Special teams are drafted as one position. That means you draft the entire unit including the kicker, the punter, the punt coverage team and the field goal block unit.
This change makes every special teams play meaningful, from how each punt is placed and fielded, to every time some idiot jumps offisdes on a field goal and extends a drive. It also allows for us to score some fun and rare plays like onsides kicks or fake kicks.
