A score is points of value from the published box score: yards at 0.07 points each, a turnover 4, a touchdown 1.5 on top of its yards, times a bounded factor for the opponent's strength. A month score is the total divided by (games + 1), and a player needs 75% of the team's box-scored games. Some hosts cut names longer than 15 characters; they appear as printed.
