PPR is an abbreviation for Point-Per-Reception. This scoring system follows regular scoring regulations but adds a point boost for players that catch the ball. Your team earns one point for each catch or reception made by a player. The person catching the ball can score a touchback yard on either side of the end line or go ahead 50 yards if they choose. The PPR scoring system was invented to give wide receivers more incentive to catch the ball. Before this change, only runners were awarded points for touching the ball down at the one-yard line or beyond. Catching the ball now awards players with an additional point to help them compete with teammates for playing time. Though PPR scoring was designed for wideouts, it can be used as a measure of any receiver's ability. A player that catches 10 passes for 100 yards would earn 20 points under conventional scoring. Under PPR scoring, players that catch 10 passes for 100 yards would earn 200 points. Scores are calculated first by converting all receptions into touchdowns (which is equivalent to adding 2 points under conventional scoring), then dividing the number of touchdowns by two. For example, if your team has a total of 30 points after three quarters, it means they have 15 receptions left. Divided by two, it becomes 75 yards remaining.
