Two Running Backs (2) RB

Factor and Handicap Points

FACTORING and HANDICAPPING SYSTEM

It would not be fair to give a team that comes from a 6 person draft pool an advantage over a
team that came from a larger drafting pool. 

Teams are awarded points based on the size of there drafting pool
called factor points.

FACTOR POINTS

EXAMPLE: Alaska Oilspill came from a league with 11 teams in the
drafting pool.

11 Teams is Equal = 5 Factor Points

Teams are awarded points based on a handicapping system, that is based
on several complex factors but is awarded by the size of the of the
teams drafting pool.

HANDICAP POINTS:

In order to figure your Handicap Score take your Total Score before
adding the Factor Points and multiply it by the Handicap Factor.

EXAMPLE: Alaska Oilspill Scored 53.25 Total Points and came from and
league with 11 teams in the drafting pool.

53.25 x .020298 = 1.08 (Standard Rounding Method)

1.08 in the Handicap Score

Therefore the Score for the Alaska Oilspill would be:

Total Score 53.25
Factor Points: 5.00
Hdcp Score: 1.08
Total Score 59.33
