I set the poll so that you can change your vote if you change your mind!

This one is really simple.

Currently 17 rushing yards are worth 1 point.

With Fractional Scoring 17 yards = 1.7 points.

-------------

Doesn't really change much, but it makes close matches a LOT more intense.  We tried this setting in my college league this year, and it was good.  Anyone else should feel free to propose any other rule change they can think of.

Could care less either way on this one.  Don't see a great upside, don't see great downside.

The upside is that when you really get into a close match, the decision is more likely to be made by whichever team did better, as opposed to a luck based result of whoever's players happen to get the most out of their yards.  E.G. 20 rushing yards = 2 points, but 19 rushing yards = 1 point.

Maybe close matches should be luck based, like NFL overtimes, whoever wins the toss usually wins.  This one doesn't really matter, a blowout is still a blowout, and a 10 point win, will still be a 10 point win.  But those games decided by 2 points or less become a lot more intense if the scoring is more exact.

Fractional scoring sucks...  I don't want to think about mathematics more than I have too already.

Sucks. I don't mind if we have ties. I prefer seeing points when players reach certain levels.

Yep, ties are far more rare.

I was not in favor of fractional scoring until I joined my college league that had it, and after a year with it, it is great.
