question re: rules for defensive scoring

[Larry Brown #43]

The commissioner of my league has the rules for defensive scoring posted on our league's website, and frankly they make no sense to me. Can anyone decipher what the following means? I must be reading it wrong, because it appears to me that if your team defense allows 7 points, you get a higher score than if they only give up, say, 3 points. (I'm not posting the scoring for INTs, sacks, etc. here because they are self-explanatory.) Please help! :cheers:

1 - 7 PA = 10 points for every 1 PA against
8 - 10 PA = 7 points for every 1 PA against
11 - 14 PA = 5 points for every 1 PA against
15 - 20 PA = 3 points for every 1 PA against

1 - 7 PA = 10 points for every 1 PA against
8 - 10 PA = 7 points for every 1 PA against
11 - 14 PA = 5 points for every 1 PA against
15 - 20 PA = 3 points for every 1 PA against

I have never seen anything like that. Although I am in one league that scores such that Pittsburgh was worth 40 POINTS last night. Geesh.

We figured it out. The commish botched the defensive scoring rules, but he was able to fix it. The formula looked odd to me, but I figured maybe I was reading it wrong. But sure enough Pittsburgh's defense gave someone like 800 points or something absurd. Fortunately the commish was able to fix the formula after the fact.
