Flexible Playoff Match- up Lengths
Add additional playoff formats for Commissioners to provide 2 week playoffs

Default playoffs for public and Pro leagues should be weeks 22,23 and 24
Congrats on all the new playoff options in baseball.
But.....
Why you left the default for public and Pro leagues to run thru the last week of the regular season is beyond me.
The regular season should be 21 weeks, not 22. Playoffs should start in week 22, not in week 23.
Basketball, hockey and football all default to the next to last week of the regular season for the fantasy championship week. Why you insist on keeping baseball as the only sport that has the championship match up during the final week of the regular season is beyond me.

Allow the commissioners in cash leagues the ability to disable consolation brackets
The option to lock eliminated teams in the playoffs doesn't work in cash leagues. It is pointless to give the commissioners of cash leagues the option to lock eliminated teams if it doesn't work. Please honor cash league commissioners request to lock eliminated teams from the playoffs.
Eliminated players participating in the consolation bracket should not be able to make waiver claims or add/drop players. The ONLY players who should be allowed to make waiver claims or add/drop players are the players who are still in contention to win the championship. That is, after all, WHY WE PLAY THE GAME!…

PLAYOFF DATES AND OPTIONS
It would be great to have numerous options for playoffs, Including moving up the playoffs earlier and extending them extra weeks as desired just as others have stated
AND
How about an option for multiple week total points where all of the teams involved in the Playoffs compete against each other for two or three weeks and whoever has the most points at the end is the champion. Basically a 2-4 week roto for the championship.232nd ranked -
begin & end playoffs earlier
We need to be given the option of starting and ending the playoffs earler. With expanded rosters and teams clinching too many top players and esp pitchers are not playing at the most important time of the fantasy season

End the season earlier
Can you please let us finish the fantasy baseball season before September call ups? I'd like the playoffs to start and end in August.

end The regular season at the all star break, and have a double elimination tournament for the 8 playoffs teams to crown the champion!
Our league loves playing fantasy baseball, but the season gets so long winded, and some loss interest in the 2nd half, and also fantasy Football begins to gear up.... our league would like to have an option of ending our 12 team regular season at the all star break, and then begin a very interesting double elimination playoff tournament for the 8 playoff teams that move on! Thank you for entertaining this idea!

End fantasy baseball playoffs earlier
Everyone in my league checks out as soon as football starts. Give the commish the option to end the playoffs some time in August. I'm guessing a lot of fantasy baseball people feel this way.

2 Week Playoff Matchups with Adjustable Schedule
I would love to see Yahoo allow for 2 week playoff matchups and an adjustable schedule that allows you to end regular season whenever you want. These options are currently available on ESPN. After doing our fantasy baseball on Yahoo since 2006, we switched over to ESPN this season because our managers simply prefer 2 week playoff matchups and how it rewards a "true" winner.
Especially in a sport like baseball that entails so much randomness, a 1 week matchup at any given time is almost a "crapshoot". Also, allowing for an adjustable schedule would also be a great feature…

Please allow for adjustable schedules
Please allow for adjustable schedules in the future. Please give Commissioners the option to begin the playoffs in week 19 for example in a 10 team league

Allow commisioners to set the playoffs during any weeks they want in all Fantasy Sports
This is mostly for Fantasy basketball but please implement in all 4 of the major fantasy sports. Allow the commisioner to set the playoffs to be any week they choose. For example I would start my playoffs in Fantasy basketball to start in week 16 and the reason why is with all the player resting and teams tanking during the end of the season it makes the Fantasy playoffs a mess. So many players rest and teams tanking sit players that it is possible that a majority of your players are unavailable during the playoff weeks. This is a major…

Ending Playoffs Early
On ESPN fantasy baseball you can choose how many weeks you want to have the regular season last and how long the playoffs will last. This would give you the ability to end the Fantasy Baseball season before the first week in NFL Fantasy Football. Once football gets here no one in the personal leagues I've been in wants to check baseball team once the NFL kicks off week 1. Which is around Sept 14-16 but as of now you can only end the baseball season like 1 week early which is like sept 23.

Manipulate Playoff and Consolation Bracket structures
We have a 10 team keeper league and I would like to create stakes for the Consolation playoffs at the end of the season.
My solution is having them compete for top draft picks the following year.
I would like to be able to manipulate the consolation bracket so that the 5th/6th have their own consolation playoff (for 5th/6th picks), and 7th/8th/9th/10th have a consolation playoff (for 1st/2nd/3rd/4th picks)Currently the Consolation playoffs are locked with the 5th-8th place teams in the consolation
294th rankedHey Jeb, thanks very much for your feedback. Unfortunately we don’t have the capability to customize the brackets as you describe. However, we do have the ability to custom seed the first round of the playoffs. Check the info out here:

2 week playoff final
I would love to have the option of a 2 week final. I don't like the finals landing on the last week of the season because too many stud players are resting, but I also don't like ending the fantasy season before the regular season ends. A 2 week final is the perfect solution to this problem. It takes away the flukiness of the last week final and allows you to play through the end of the baseball regular season.

Regulare season and playoff calendar
Would it be possible to set the calendar of matches for the regular season in the leagues in order to have the same number of matches with each team?
Would it be possible to set the start of the playoffs before week 22? To avoid the final weeks of the season when many teams start testing new players, right at the most important moment for fantasy leagues?
350th rankedHey Andrea, thanks very much for your feedback! Your commissioner can edit the league schedule by following the steps outlined here:
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/fantasy-baseball/sln6320.htmlRegarding your second suggestion, our team is evaluating more customizable playoff start dates.
Thanks for playing! Good luck this season!

Please let us edit out schedule length to our complete specification. Playoffs are a joke
This is getting ridiculous, ESPN allows me to start my playoffs in week 19. Absolutely inexcusable that we are not allowed the same courtesy in Yahoo. Robbie Ray throwing a start of 1.2 IP on the final day of the championship is a disgrace. Please fix this ASAP or I'll be taking another league to ESPN.

please indicate Jake Arietta as DTD if he is DTD
We have a playoff rule that freezes add drops unless there is an injury. Arietta is injured, get him to show DTD status so I can make a move

You can't have championship week occur during the final week of the (real) regular season.
Seriously. This is not real baseball. Please have championship week done before the final week of the regular season.
67th rankedHey everyone, thank you for your feedback and another great season of fantasy baseball on Yahoo. Our product and engineering teams are investigating more flexible playoff start/end dates for next season. Stay tuned!

Don't like the higher seed....
Instead of the higher seed moving on in a tie breaker scenario, H2H meetings during the regular season should be #1 tie breaker....That would be much fairer to all involved....
