STANDARD SCORING FORMATS (Public Leagues)
Standard games have the same scoring format available during league creation: Head-to-Head: Points. This is the most commonly used scoring format in fantasy football. In a Head-to-Head points league, your team plays against another team each week, per the league's schedule. The team that accumulates the most fantasy points wins the game for that week. The results of each week's matchup will determine the regular season winning team. In non-playoff leagues, the team with the best winning percentage wins the league championship. In playoff leagues, the top teams have a playoff period after which a winner is determined.
LEAGUE MANAGER SCORING FORMATS (LM Leagues)
LM leagues are nonstandard scoring leagues, with a variable number of teams (4-20), which use customized rule settings. All customizable leagues use the head-to-head scoring system. In this system, each team in your league faces off against one other team every week of the season. However, your league might contain bye weeks. The winner of each of these matchups is the team that accumulates the most fantasy points determined by the weekly statistics of the players in each team's lineup and the scoring settings of your league. Weekly results are compiled into an overall record and displayed on the league's standings page.
Below is a comprehensive list of scoring categories available in ESPN Fantasy Football. Each category lists the standard game settings and all options available in the custom game. In the custom game the specific categories and their corresponding point values can be edited by the League Manager (LM) to fit your league's custom scoring system. The numbers displayed in the brackets (i.e., 1, 5, 10), show the available buckets to be selected. Decimal values are allowed for each category (tenth and hundredth of a point). If your league is already set up, view your League Settings page to see how your league scores each category.
NOTE: In LM Leagues only, scoring categories and their corresponding point values can be changed by the league manager anytime during the season. If either are changed after the season has begun, the system will automatically change all previous game results to match the changed settings.
