2010 Rules Summary

The rules committee wrapped up our 2010 conversation after pretty much running out of gas. But we had a productive session:
Changes for 2010:

• Scoring Changes (more info)
• Thrown INTs now penalize 2 pts instead of 3
• Sacks taken by an offensive player (most often the QB) penalize 1 pt
• A FG is now worth 4 pts if made from 45+ yards, previously 40+
• Tackles by offensive players will now be counted. (Not really a rule change, more an emphasis)
• Any fumble by a player penalizes 1 pt. This replaces the rule that penalized 3 pts for a lost fumble.
• Free Agents can now be claimed any time before kickofff (more info)
• Draft lottery was weighted (more info)
• FV for D and K now halved (round up) minimum of 0 (more info)

Things we'll revisit in 2011:

• Adding a TE position
• Scoring safeties
• Limiting the number of franchised players per team at a particular position
• Does the current FV calculation make sense
