Week 9 "live scoring" is incorrect!

Here is Greg's official ruling that "muffs" are not part of the 2005 scoring rules:

Okay, the decision has been made. Under our current scoring format, the Deion Branch fumble is a non-scoring play. It was not a fumble on a run, reception or pass, thus Deion Branch will not have a -1 point assessed to him. STATS will make this change manually soon and you will see the change in the team scoring before the end of the week.

Going forward, STATS will have to implement this scoring change manually from here on out as their stats do not decipher when the fumble occurs. So Tom and I will have to watch this closely and we ask everyone else to watch this for us. Should Dante Hall fumble on a kickoff or punt return, the live scoring will automatically take a point away from his scoring total. We will then alert STATS on Monday and have them manually make that scoring change. Sorry, but that's the way it works for now.

I thank everyone for their input and we are interpreting our scoring system accurately now. It's possible that next year we could give the special teams a -1 for every lost fumble, but we'll leave that for a later discussion. For now, this is the interpretation of our scoring rules.

I knew there was no way to interpret every scoring possibility, but we'll make the right decisions as they occur. Thanks again everyone for your input and your thoughts. It is located here:

I completely forgot about the Branch play and the subsequent ruling. I'll contact STATS and have them implement the change. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

Thanks a bunch, JP. As bad as my team has gone into the tank the last two weeks, all points are appreciated.

Gekko,
we will see you in the finals Week 16. Your 7 Wins in a row is impressive.
I know i sound goofy with the last post, but i just found out this morning about the correction. 6-3, compared to 5-4 will is big.
