I don't know why I always have to clean up after the Commish. But somebody has to.
Go Zone members - please refer to the Playoff Rules, specifically scoring.
I quote: "Item f - Most turnovers on offense (a defensive turnover is called a takeaway.)" Huh???
Now...what the hell does that mean?
If a defense is returning a punt and fumbles the ball away to the kicking team, is that a turnover? Or, is it a takeaway?
Or more to the point, who the hell cares?
Here's how official scoring views it:
Mike's team throws a pass, my team intercepts. In team statistics, that is a turnover for Mike's team and a takeaway for my team. If, while returning the interception my team fumbles the ball back to Mike's team, now both teams have a turnover, and both teams have a takeaway.
Mikes team (whether on offense or on defense, fumbles the ball, and my team recovers it. That is a turnover for Mike's team, and a takeaway for my team. Now, while returning the fumble, if my team fumbles the ball back to Mike's team, we both have a turnover and we both have a takeaway.
To reduce this to even simpler terms that even our esteemed Commish might (emphasis on might)comprehend, an interception is always a turnover, and a lost fumble is always a turnover.
So, how about removing all the confusion and unnecessary garbage and simple change item "f" to read:
f. Team committing most turnovers.
Lemme know if you need any more help, Commish.
