OVERVIEW:
The NFL Fantasy Playoff Challenge starts with the first round of the NFL
playoffs, and ends with the Super Bowl.
Contestants will select their team each week, using a salary cap. You
may select any players you like, as long as you can fit them under your
salary cap. You may select new players each week as players get knocked
out of the playoffs, or keep the same ones on a week to week basis.
Players at each position will score points based on the Fantasy Jungle
scoring system. The team with the most cumulative points for the entire
playoffs will be declared the winner.

SCORING SYSTEM:
Your team will score points the
following ways.
RUSH, PASSING, RECEIVEING:
Passing TD’s 0-39 Yards= 3 Points
Passing TD’s 40+ Yards = 6 Points
Rushing TD’s 0-39 Yards= 6 Points
Rushing TD’s 40+ Yards = 9 points
Receiving TD’s 0-39 Yards= 6 Points
Receiving TD’s 40+ Yards= 9 Points
All Passing, Rushing, and Receiving 2 Pt. Conversions = 2 Points
Reception= 1 Point
Interceptions Thrown= (-1) Point
Fumbles Lost= (-1) Point
YARDAGE:
20 Passing Yards= 1 Point
10 Rushing Yards= 1 Point
10 Receiving Yards= 1 Point
***Yardage will be carried out to the hundredth.
KICKING:
Extra Point= 1 Point
FG 1-30 Yards= 3 Points
For each additional yard over 30, it will be an additional 0.1 point
(So for example, a 42 yard FG is worth 4.2 points)
DEFENSIVE/ SPECIAL TEAMS: (consists of defensive formations, punt and
kick return teams)
Sack= 1 Point
Fumble Recovery= 2 Points
Interception= 2 Points
Safety= 2 Points
Shutout= 15 Points
2-10 Points Allowed= 10 Points
11-17 Points Allowed= 5 Points
*** All points scored against any unit of the team count as points
against the defense/special teams. So a touchdown scored on an
interception return is still counted against the defense/special teams
points allowed.
DEFENSIVE AND SPECIAL TEAMS TD’s:
0-39 Yards= 6 Points
40+ Yards= 9 Points
***IN addition, individual players WILL receive points for special teams
touchdowns they score, but not yardage.
***Fake field goals or punts do not count as special teams/defensive
TD’s as they are considered offensive plays.
