in flag football...
So the main differences are:
1. No field goals. 2. Time is more of an issue.
So far, I'm thinking these are appropriate times to go for 2...
Scoring a TD puts you ahead by: 1 7 10 15
after 17, I'm not sure when I'd go for 1 vs. 2. I'd like to create a chart that goes up to a 28-point lead.
As for the "behind" chart...
Go for 2 when scoring a TD puts you behind by: 2 4 (?) in case of a safety 8 10 14 18
Others?
Any input would be appreciated...

First--I am not terribly familiar with the PAT procedures in flag football. What would YOU consider to be risk/reward ratio of 1 vs 2 in flag. In tackle, once you reach a certain level of proficiency, the 1 is almost "automatic" compared to a less automatic 2 point conversion. If such a disparity doesn't exist in flag, then you need to account for that in your decision making process.
Well, the "chart" that most go by in tackle football has a glaring weakness..Expected Value combined with TIME FACTORS. I think the nevue way at looking at going for two is that you don't want to "chase points" early in a game. The classic example is missing a PAT in the 1st quarter. If you score again in the first, or early in the second, do you want to just pick up the automatic extra point (which when combined with future scores in the game could be crucial) or do you want to try and "chase" that missed PAT. If you get it, great, but should you miss it, now you are down 2 points (which again, when combined with future scores could be critical)

Thanks for the input.
1 pt conversion is from 5 yards out. 2 pt conversion is from 10 yards out.
It's 5 on 5.
Field is 60 yards long by 30 yards wide.
20 minute halves, with running clock.
Usually, teams will get 3-5 possessions per half.
We like to slow it down to give teams only 2-3 possessions per half.

Well, is getting a score from 5 yards out a tremendously easier event than getting a score from 10 yards out in 5 on 5 football? That would be the crux of your answer there. If there isn't a big difference, sounds like the expected value of going for 2 is much higher
