Makes sense with that explanation.  I was looking at rushing TD of 20 is 10 pts.  

Cheers,

You learn something new every day! The NFL considers the hook & ladder lateral to Gibbs as an extension of the pass and therefore, its considered 20 passing yards, even though he does not get credit for the catch. In the NFL stats, its shows 0 receptions for 20 yards. 

Our scoring for passing / receiving yards is 0-20 is 5 pts, 21-40 is 10 pts. Thus, the 5-pt TD.

Initially, I was incorrect that it was a 10-pt TD, it is a 5-pt TD. Here is what we have in the AFL Rule Book: 

Passing and Receiving Touchdowns

1 - 20 yd 21 - 40 41 - 60 yd 61 – 80 yd 81+ yd
5 points 10 points 15 points 20 points 25 points

You can find the 2023 and prior year AFL Rule Books under the "League" menu, then Archives. 

On the League Home Page, you can also see a description of the play from our vendor with the scoring for both players as well.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hey.  Couldn't respond just to you from phone app.  In APAC last week and this.  Flying home on Saturday.  Let me look when I get to Dubai tomorrow at the overall impact.  Possible trade for sure.

It looks like the vendor has updated the points for Gibbs and credited him with a receiving TD. 10 points for the TD and 3 pts for rushing yardage = 13 points. Let me know if there are more questions.

The NFL site is showing it as a 20 yd TD off a lateral. We have our scoring based on yardage so it should be a 20 yd rushing TD and fall into our usual model. I'll keep an eye on the scoring and see what the vendor does overnight. Worst case - I can manually add the 10 pts for the scoring play.

The current scoring is wrong. Can we protest if it remains the same? Gibbs is who went into the end zone

Meant have precedent…

20 yard TD reception… but not sure if we have met or scored another way in our league.
The Close Sun Sep 22 8:07pm ET
Yahoo and ESPN have it scored as a touchdown reception… Doesn’t matter to the outcome of the game as we lose either way with five or 10 points
