Arena Football stats, kept live.

Arena football runs on the same play-by-play engine as the outdoor game, then rewrites the math. The Deuce turns the kickoff into a live 2-point play. Drop-kicks pay 4 on a field goal and 2 on a PAT, so a made kick isn't just a made kick, it's a scoring decision. Statside knows which points came from where, because on the 8-man indoor field, 15-minute quarters, and a scoreboard that rarely stops, the difference between a 3 and a 4 stacks up fast.

The signature rate stat here is points per drive. Fifteen-minute quarters and a short field mean possessions come in bunches, so raw totals flatter everyone. Points per drive rewards the offense that turns real estate into points every time it touches the ball, not the one that piled up garbage in a track meet. It's the number that separates a unit that scores from a unit that just plays fast.

Entry is built for the two-way roster. The offensive specialist plays both ways, so Statside lets you log him on offense and defense in the same game without cloning a player or splitting his line. Score the Deuce off the kickoff, tag a drop-kick as 4 or 2, and the point value lands correctly the first time. Enter it as a box score after the final horn or play-by-play as the quarters fly, live from a phone. The rate stats compute themselves.

Good and great split at the qualifying line. Season leaders only rank players who clear the minimum drives and games, so one loud indoor night can't buy a points-per-drive crown. A good specialist posts numbers. A great one holds a high points-per-drive rate across a full slate, on both sides of the ball, and still qualifies when the leaderboard locks. That's the bar, and Statside enforces it.
