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.

I agree, especially having the option of have a 2-week H2H matchup in the playoffs

I think it would be awesome if Commissioners had the ability to choose two weeks playoffs for fantasy baseball leagues. There are so many weeks for baseball where teams would still be able to go head to head with everyone, plus some. It works great for one of my ESPN fantasy football leagues.

Allow championships to be 2 weeks long. I know CBS allows this feature. After such a long baseball season, it would be nice to have a two week championship to determine the winner.

I'd also argue in support of having the option of 2 week matchups for regular season and playoffs.

Allow for the option of 2 week h2h matchups in regular season and/or playoffs.

Agree. Great point on ending season when you'd like and making a custom schedule. As you mentioned, since one week is such a **** shoot not only a two week championship would be great but my league would love to have a two week semifinal round as well.

1 week is good enough for the championship

Please have the option for 2-week playoff matches. Everyone in my league agrees on it and I suggested it last year as well here. Might have to switch to ESPN since they actually have that option available. Should be easy to implement and not sure why it was removed in the first place.

Add additional playoff formats for Commissioners to provide 2 week playoffs

I see a bunch of new playoff options were added this year but yet still no 2-week championship. This cannot be that hard to implement and yes, Yahoo had it available in the past...~5 yrs ago? Not sure, it feels like we've been clamoring to bring it back for longer, but our efforts have gone ignored. This is so frustrating!! Fantrax here we come!!

We used to enjoy the two-week championship in all fantasy sports. No idea why Yahoo got rid of it in the first place. Bring it back, boys...

Everyone's complaint every year is playoffs are a crapshoot and they ask me to make the finals two weeks long. I keep telling them I can't. They say but I thought we could before. And I say yeah Yahoo removed it. Then they say let's switch to ESPN...

Yep. My league is considering switching over to ESPN to allow for 2 week playoff matchups. We would stay with Yahoo! if this changes, but, as of now, the plan is to move over to ESPN.

4 team playoffs with 2 weeks matchups is greatly needed

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

... 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.
