Pts for 500 passing yards?

The league I am currently in gives bonus' for 300 yards passing, 400 yards passing, but there is no 500 yards passing bonus. Are all leagues like this?

As you probably have guessed I have Tom Brady on my fantasy team. And I am two points shy of the guy I am playing. Tom Brady ended up with 49 pts in our league.

517 yards passing= 20 pts. We use 25 yards per point.

4 TD's =24 pts. 6 points per pass touchdown.

pass of over 50 yards = 2 pts

Over 400 yards passing = 5 pts

1 INT = -2 pts.

That got him to 49 pts. All I need is two points to win. Do any of your leagues have a bonus for going over 500 yards? This could be a deciding factor on if I win or not. Thanks

Update:

I see where you're coming from, but nevertheless the settings are the way they are. This league does allow point bonus' for yardage totals. At 300, 400, but not 500. I just think with the way these settings are made up that there should be a point bonus for this as well.

The league manager is who I was playing against too. That doesn't help matters. But he did say there was a setting for 500 yards. However he hasn't implemented it. If 500 yds passing had never happened before I could understand but it has happened 5 times. It's not out of the realm of possibility.

    nope, we are really competitive and we think point bonuses are stupid anyways...

    if fantasy is really about giving points based on players impact in games... brady wouldn't have made 10 pts off the one pass to wes... bonuses for qbs should be based on things like completion percentage with at least 20 throws...
