Every league has its own house rules. Now, you can build them in.
Commissioners can now set custom scoring rules by position and stat category, giving your league the flexibility you've been asking for. Set custom point values for any position and stat category — touchdowns, receptions, yardage bonuses, kicker rules and more.
Want to reward a 60+ yard field goal, credit team wins or score defensive return yards? Now you can.

These new options support the formats commissioners request most often, so your league can play exactly the way it wants.
You now have the ability to set point values for any position and stat category using the formats you ask for most, including 60+ yard field goals and beyond.
Enable 60+ yard field goals to award more points to kickers who score field goals over 60 yds. You can make 50-59 yard field goals worth 5 points and bump 60+ yard field goals up to 6.
Score kickoff and punt return yards separately. Instead of one combined Return Yards setting, Kickoff Return Yards and Punt Return Yards are now their own categories, so you can reward a punt returner differently than a kick returner.
Split up return touchdowns. Kickoff and Punt Return Touchdowns used to be a single 6-point setting; now Kickoff Return TD and Punt Return TD can each carry their own value.
Score defensive return touchdowns by how they happened. Previously, every score rolled up into one Touchdown setting. Now, Interception Return TD and Fumble Return TD are separate categories, so a pick-six can be worth more than a scoop-and-score if you want.
Reward the rare stuff. Blocked Punt or FG Return TD is a brand new category so that a blocked kick returned for a score can now be worth more than the Block Kick points alone.
Every new Misc category is optional and off by default, so your league's current scoring stays exactly as it is — until you turn one on.
You sadly can't customize the weather, as much as we'd want to be Adam Vinatieri kicking in the snow.

FAQ:
What can I customize? Point values for any position and stat category, including touchdowns, receptions, yardage bonuses, kicker rules like 60+ yard field goals, team wins, defensive return yards and more.
Can I still use the combined settings? Yes. Return Yards and Kickoff and Punt Return Touchdowns work the way they always have. The new categories are there if you want finer control.
Who can change these? Commissioners, from the Scoring Settings section of Commissioner Tools.
