Rookie Pool





It's that day again...rookie pool time!

One of our favorite days, it's the start of the whole college draft process! But, who's going #1? And how deep is the pool this season? What positions do I need to fill? All great questions and it all starts with some basic scouting.

Rookies, Rookies, Rookies:
The USAFL is a tough business. There is no time to sit around a talk about the great times in the past. There are rookies to look at and chart. As a GM, you'd better spend a lot of time sorting the rookies and prepare for the upcoming draft. Ask any GM, the College Draft is the best way to build a roster.

Scouting Players: 
The designers of Front Page Sports Football Pro use a formula to determine a player's value. While many of our General Managers use their own formulas, they all will tell you they started from the basic formula table below.

  SP AC AG ST HA EN IN DI
QB 2 1 1 4 3 2 5 2
HB 5 3 2 2 4 2 1 1
FB 4 3 2 5 2 2 1 1
WR 4 3 2 1 5 3 1 1
TE 2 3 2 5 4 2 1 1
C 2 3 2 5 3 2 1 2
G 3 2 3 5 2 2 1 2
T 2 5 1 5 2 2 1 2
DE 4 3 3 4 1 2 1 2
DT 2 5 2 5 1 2 1 2
LB 4 2 2 4 3 2 2 1
CB 4 3 4 1 2 3 2 1
S 4 2 2 2 4 3 2 1
K/P 1 1 1 7 2 1 1 6

Example for a QB:  (SP*2)+(AC)+(AG)+(ST*4)+(HA*3)+(EN*2)+(IN*5)+(DI*2)
QB John Doe 70 68 50 88 79 69 87 92 = Total Value is 1604
Note that the multipliers add up to 20. If you edit for your own use, 
remember to keep the sum of the multipliers at 20.
