The #SFB9 REDUX rulebook — 6-point TDs, TE premium, and stacking +10 power-ups.
Official SFB16 format, roster rules, scoring table, and a stat-line scoring lab.
A charity tournament with a new scoring puzzle every year
The Scott Fish Bowl is a free-to-enter charity fantasy-football tournament founded by Scott Fish. It gathers thousands of players into one global field and changes scoring each year to force fresh strategy.
SFB16 wears an 8-bit video-game theme branded #SFB9 REDUX: 6-point touchdowns for everyone, a heavy tight-end premium, rushing and receiving first-down bonuses, and stacking “+10” milestone and big-play power-ups. It is built to reward explosive, high-ceiling performances — a large share of every projection comes from the bonuses, not the base stats.
Managed weekly lineups on one global leaderboard
The main Scott Fish Bowl is managed redraft, not best ball: set weekly lineups, use waivers, no trades, and compete on the global leaderboard.
You set a starting lineup every week — this is a managed redraft, not best ball. In-season roster management runs on $100 FAAB blind-bidding waivers that process Wednesday 10:00 AM EST.
Slow online drafts begin Monday, July 6, 2026 · 10:00 AM EST with an 8-hour pick timer and an overnight shutoff (2 AM–8 AM EST). Live-draft events run across many cities from mid-June through early August — those leagues draft ~10 rounds live and finish the last 10 slow online.
Leagues run on Sleeper and MyFantasyLeague (MFL). Know the quirk: MFL counts TDs as first downs (an extra 0.5) while Sleeper does not — and SFB will not adjust for the discrepancy.
Survive the cut — 5,004 down to one
After the 11-week regular season, the global field is culled every week by a formula blending season average with your weekly score. Clear each level and the finals decide it all on a single Week 17 explosion.

20 deep, 10 start — a superflex free-for-all
No kickers, no DST, no IDP. Just a positionally flexible lineup where scarcity is largely neutralized and you are never forced to start a QB.
Requirements are expressed as ranges: 0–2 QB / RB / WR / TE in the two superflex spots (start zero, one, or two QBs — never required) plus 0–8 RB / WR / TE across the eight flex spots. There is no minimum at any position.
Core scoring vs. stacking power-ups
Every number below is transcribed straight from the official SFB16 scoring graphic. The core rules build your floor; the +10 power-ups build the ceiling that wins weeks.
Tight ends get an extra +1 per catch and +1 per first down — a full 3× multiplier on every reception versus any other position. This is the main lever in SFB16 drafting.
They stack: 400 pass yds hits both the 300 and 400 tiers = +20. 200 combined rush+rec yds hits both the 100 and 200 tiers = +20. Rush and receiving yards are COMBINED, not separate.
Every qualifying explosive counts. A 55-yard rush and a 42-yard rush in the same game = +20. A three-catch, three-20+-play line = +30 before a single yard or point of base scoring.
No interceptions, fumbles, or negative-play penalties appear on the official SFB16 scoring image — there are zero deductions. The math only ever moves up.
Build a stat line, watch it score
Pick a position, punch in a line — or load a preset — and the engine itemizes every core point and every +10 power-up in real time. Then see the exact same receiving line scored four ways to feel the TE premium.
★ TE PREMIUM LIVE — 3× receptions & first downs vs every other position.
- Receptions (TE premium)8 × 1.512
- Rec yards95 ÷ 109.5
- Rec TD1 × 66
- Rec 1st downs (TE premium)4 × 1.56
- 20+ Yd Rec Play+10
Identical receiving stat line scored at each position — the TE bar is the premium, drawn to scale.
Powered by the same scoring engine that drives the draft board — no rounding shortcuts. Interceptions and fumbles carry zero penalty in SFB16, so they are omitted from the inputs.
Everything that makes SFB16 not your home league
If you draft SFB16 like a standard half-PPR redraft, you will lose. Here is every deviation that should reshape your board.
Passing TDs are 6 points — not the standard 4. ALL touchdowns are 6.
Strong TE premium: tight ends get 1.5 pts/reception AND 1.5 pts/first down (extra +1 on each vs every other position).
Rushing & receiving first downs each score 0.5 pts — a core SFB signature. Passing first downs do NOT score.
Base receptions are only 0.5 PPR (half-PPR) — but bonuses and the TE premium dominate the final tally.
Stacking +10 video-game milestones (300/400 pass yds, 100/200 combined rush+rec yds) reward ceiling games hard.
Per-big-play +10 bonuses: every 40+ pass play, every 40+ rush play, every 20+ reception — pure explosiveness.
No kickers drafted this year, and no DST/IDP — a pure QB/RB/WR/TE universe.
Superflex with a fully flexible 0-2 QB / 0-8 RB-WR-TE lineup — positional scarcity is largely neutralized.
NOT best ball: you set weekly lineups with in-season management ($100 FAAB waivers, no trades).
Rush + receiving yardage milestones are COMBINED, not counted separately.
Global-field advancement: 5,004 teams cut down weekly to a top-50 Week 17 finals — not isolated league playoffs.
