Playoffs - Two week playoff matchups.
This feature would allow commissioners to implement 2 week long playoff matchups for their league. For example, in a 4 team playoff, the first round of the playoffs would run for weeks 14 and 15 and then the Championship would be weeks 16 and 17. Currently, this feature is not available to commissioners.

Yes this versatility is definitely needed

Open up the playoff options so that commissioners have more controls. Specifically, allow for 4 team playoffs with 2 weeks per matchup.

Thank you. Seems as though Yahoo! has been a little late to the dance on these features as the people having been pining for them for years. Would absolutely love to come back to Yahoo! next season with these features in place

... well said. Agreed - 100%.

... bring back a two week championship round. Why is this idea taking so long to reinstate? It's been a recurring suggestion for years. Yahoo, get this done.

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 to add. Being able to end the regular season by the end of July is great, because by then, the teams that are already out of the race have begun to check out and stop editing their lineups. I feel as though an August regular season is just full of very dull matchups because of this. Having a 2 week playoff matchup would accomplish much of this on it's own, but having that option to end the playoffs in early or mid September would also be nice to have.
Overall the Yahoo user experience far exceeds ESPN. I would love to go back to Yahoo next season for Fantasy Baseball. Adding these features would go a long way towards making Yahoo the complete package in a Fantasy Baseball experience.

Please...what do we need to do for yahoo to make this an option?
And is there a tech reason this isn't already a setting option ?

This used to be an option before the newest team of programmer idiots got their hands on Yahoo Fantasy and turned it into YaPoo

Definitely.

Why is this not an option with all the people asking for it? It is an option on other sites/platforms.

Please make this an option, for all sports!

Please make this an option! In all sports.

Totally agree, this used to be an option many years ago and then they got rid of it

You should be able to customize the playoff weeks.

Dave Case commented
AGREE! Please make the change.

Two week playoff matchups are a basic addition, and should be easily implemented. I switched my 8 year league over from ESPN this year because of the features you offer, and little did I know a basic option like this is not offered. SERENITY NOW!

Please allow two week playoff matchups!!

2 week Championship week should be standard. Just end the regular season a week earlier and start playoffs. This would significantly improve H2H. End another week earlier to make Semi finals 2 weeks too. Simple.

Just adding to the rolling list of requests for this feature. How hard can it be to just add this as an option?! Please give commissioners the option to set playoff rounds as 1 or 2 week duration!

Yet another post about this topic! Let's keep them coming until Yahoo figures out that this is probably the single highest demanded item in fantasy baseball. This used to be a feature on Yahoo until about 5 years ago. Common Yahoo!
