2012 Scoring Rules

==Overview==
In 2012 the emphasis was on decreasing the weight of the QBs and defense.
Even average QBs were scoring upwards of 60-70 PPG thanks to a high PPC rate. In 2012 this was cut in half from 1PPC to 0.5PPC and that alone significantly lowered the point totals of the position. QB's would also receive a point for every 20 yards instead of every 15.
In addition to decreasing the weight of the QB, more emphasis was put on the RB position. Players were awarded a point for every 8 rushing yards instead of every 10, with bonus incentives at 40, 80, and 100 (previously 100, 150, 200). 
In 2011 the kickers lost five points for missing an extra point. The occurrence was so rare that this stat category was deemed insignificant and though the five-point loss was fun it was whittled down to one.
The offensive fumble return TD was removed due to the vagueness of the catagory. 
On defense, very few changes were made. Defensive scores were reduced from 7 to 6. A safety was reduced from 5 to 4. Three and Outs Forced was reduced from 3 to 1. Finally, the yards allowed catagories were all revamped. In 2011 you lost a point for every 100 yards allowed starting at 0 points for no yards allowed. In 2012 that was reformed so every team started with 5 points and lost points for each 100 yards.
