Dan Flynn’s “Yards per Catch” Innovation
Mr. Dan Flynn is an avid APBA Football player who recently contacted me regarding a Yards per Catch (YPC) innovation that he created. His “YardsPerCatch” spreadsheet allows the calculation of YPC ratings. It also includes the chart used to determine the adjusted yardages. The system allows for a range of YPC ratings from -5 to 10. These ratings when used with the chart included will adjust the receivers YPC to more closely match their actual YPC. Mark Zarb and I reviewed the innovation and provided feedback. After several back and forth emails, Dan was nice enough to provide me with the finalized YPC spreadsheet and his methodology behind creating the innovation to share with the community. The instructions for usage are inside the spreadsheet.
I would like to thank Dan for all his hard work and attention to detail in creating this fine innovation. A job well done!
“Yards per Catch” Innovation
In my opinion, the greatest innovation for APBA Football has been Mark Zarb’s “Yards per Catch” (YPC) creation. I’ve used it for several years and have thoroughly enjoyed the results.
The YPC rating is used to better differentiate those WR’s who stretch the field versus those which are possession/ short yardage receivers or receivers such as RB’s who catch the ball on short passes coming out of the back field.
Mr. Mark Zarb owns the “intellectual” rights to this innovation.
