First, let me say that this is not my own idea, I just read it online. It definitely needs some tweaking, but I like the approach a lot, and it is very different from the standard. A short quote from the post is below along with a link to the thread, which has more specifics on implementation.
"To "punish" someone for scoring doesn't work as well IMO. Punishing someone for getting knocked down by giving them an 8 doesn't jive well with me. How about we go in an opposite direction? By GIVING points we encourage activity. A lay and prayer, lazy guard player or inactive striker KNOWS he isn't accumulating points. A person who is busy all the time KNOWS he is accumulating points."
