"Alright guys, so what I'm going to do is this is on ESPN site over here. We have mock draft. So, I'm going to take you guys through a mock draft. Well, before we get into that I'm going to go over some of the point systems. Alright, the first thing is we have, what to look for is I kind of talked, touched up on it a little before is you have quarterback, most of the leagues are 25 yards equals a point. Running back, wide receivers and tight ends, 10 yards equals a point and you have kickers, can go anywhere from 3 to 4 to 5 points and you have defenses, which score a lot of points. Actually a lot of people kind of overlooked defenses, but actually defenses are a big scoring system. Like last year the Chicago Bears were one of the highest points. Like every week their getting like 13 or 14 points and they also include special teams. So that's something to look out for. When you, if you see a defense that has a lot of sacks and has a lot of stuff on special teams from punts and kick returns. That gives you a lot of hidden points. Now, when you look at a league, most people go to either a point system or a head to head. Head to head is a lot of fun, because if you're in it with friends you're battling each other each week and there's a lot of smack talk. A lot of the fun is basically just talking trash on one of your friends, just saying how you're going to beat them. Point system is basically, it goes through each week you add up all your points, and whoever has the most points wins that week. Also, you add up at the end of the year. Most leagues have 4 teams in a playoff. If you're in a money league, it's usually like the first two teams get the money. A lot of people do it for fun and there's a lot of money involved in the lotto leagues too. I prefer leagues that have money involved just because otherwise, people just kind of lose interest and it's a lot more fun."
