[Scoring] Add minimum distance for Fractional Field Goal scoring
Requests to set a minimum for Fractional Field Goal scoring. For example, 30-yard Field Goals or less will be worth a certain amount of points but any Field Goals longer than that will use fractional scoring.

I'm not seeing an option for logging a report on this issue, so I'll do it here. The issue: The "Quality Starts" category does NOT work properly. By definition, a quality start should be recorded if a starting pitcher completes 6 innings, giving up no more than 3 runs. The problem is that if that pitcher stays in the game after the 6 innings, and then gives up more runs, he no longer gets credit for the quality start. That is wrong. The pitcher has held up his end of the bargain in terms of quality starts. This is how it works (correctly!) on other fantasy sites.

The new field goal scoring is too much, I'd suggest simplifying. Let us set a fractional scoring for field goals (i.e.: 1pt. for every 10yrds.) like you do now. However, also allow us to set a minimum for each field goal (i.e.: 3pts.). Right now there is no way to do that. If I set the fractional I mentioned then an 18-yard field goal is only 1.8. If I want to make it be 3pts. and I manually add 1.2 as the base value then it would in turn make a 29-yarder 4.1pts. which is too much for a short field goal. Simplify it to make it fractional with a minimum amount please!

I think you should add the option to have a minimum limit to field goal points when choosing the per yard option. Specifically, I would like it if at a minimum a made field goal were worth 3 points, then anything above 30 yards would be worth an additional 0.1 point per yard.

Fractional kicker points has been added. But the way it's currently set up, it can misvalue successful FG's shorter than 30 yards. Add a setting to allow anything shorter than 30 yards to be worth a flat 3 pts but anything beyond that to add in points per yard:
-A 23 yard FG is worth 3 pts
-A 52 yard FG is worth 5.2 ptsThe settings currently do not allow us to set where fractional scoring kicks in. So if 3pts for FG's are turned off, then a 23 yard FG only gets 2.3 points, when the kicker just scored 3 for the team. But turning it on would get 5.3 pts which is way overvalued.

For FG kicking, the most logical way to make scoring fractional would be for every FG to be worth at least 3 points, since that's what the play on the field is worth. And then for every kick over 30 yards, you add 0.1 points per yard.
So 0-30 yards = 3 points
31=3.1
39=3.9
52=5.2
61=6.1
EtcIs there an easy way to do this in yahoo?
This should be the default option to select for Fractional yardage FG scoring. -

Current settings don't allow for this. A field goal should always be worth at least 3 points. The settings to be able to result in:
15 yard field goal: 3 points
30 yard field goal: 3 points
35 yard field goal: 3.5 points
62 yard field goal: 6.2 points -

This would let leagues reward kicks more accurately for how long they are. At bare minimum successful field goal should reward the 3 points and this setting unlike "Field Goal Total Yards" wouldn't penalise those shorter kicks. Meanwhile it would reward the longer kicks. At the current moment a 59 yard field goal shouldn't be the same as a 50 yarder; They should be scored slightly differently.
If this setting was an option this could let leagues accurately score field goals.
Ie a 20 yard fg = 3.0 points
a 35 yard fg = 3.5 points
a 50 yard fg = 5.0 points
a 59 yard fg = 5.9 pointsI love this setting from sleeper, but overall I prefer Yahoo and would love to see this implemented.

Hey, that's interesting. Like a 38-yarder worth 3.8?

All for fractional points for fieldgoals

There should be some tweaks to field goal yards per point. Field goals 30 and under should be 3 points. But once you get beyond 30 yards then yards per point should kick in.
