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! I have been asking for this for the past 5 years as well. Thanks David! I had put up posts about this over the last couple years, and they have conveniently disappeared. There is no reason that Yahoo can't just give commissioners this option. Yahoo, please give us a 2 week playoff round option!

2-week championship rounds used to be available up until about 4 or 5 years ago on Yahoo. Why would you remove that capability?

The league commissioner should be able to customize (or at least choose from more options) when the fantasy playoffs begins/ends. Having a two-week championship is an option that every member of our league supports, but we are unable to implement.

YES!

I have been barking up this tree for years now. I am glad to see someone's post about it finally got to the "Gathering Feedback" stage. Please implement this!

Amen to this idea!! 2 week fantasy playoffs should be a must to get a real champion, not a lucky week winner.
Furthermore, fantasy playoffs should not include the final week of the regular season. Most of the players that got you to the fantasy championship are on MLB playoff teams. As such they are often resting that final week. -

yes! my league is considering moving to ESPN where they have this features. yahoo used to have it as recently as 2012, not sure why they ever got rid of it.

Been sending an email to yahoo about this every year for the past 5 years. As recently as 2012 2-week finals were an option, but for some reason Yahoo decided to remove it. Baseball is a game of sample sizes, 1 week is not enough. Please yahoo bring back 2 week playoff matches!

this has to happen. it can't be that hard of a fix, and would be a huge solution for us.

This needs to happen or chances are we're moving our league to another site that allows it. For 16 years we've had a 1 week quarterfinal, 1 week semifinal, and 2 week championship with the 2nd week managed via spreadsheet ourselves. OBP is a pain in the butt to calculate for 6 different teams . Please make a 2 week championship an option, no matter how many teams are in the playoffs.

Definitely needs to be added.

I agree. Less chance that a hot week wrecks a seasons worth of work.

For all playoff matches, there should be an option for them to be 2-weeks long. This would ensure a game wasn't just a one-time win. ESPN has this option and it works very well.

Absolutely make the playoffs start in mid August and run for 6 weeks.... If Yahoo doesn't get this implemented next year we are strongly considering a move to ESPN's platform specifically for two week playoffs
-
Steve Huslig commented
So your playoffs would run for 6 weeks? and start in mid to late August?
-
Justin Hallenbeck commented
Please please make this an option.

Two week playoff rounds would truly separate the men from the boys. Better managers and well balanced teams would be less likely to lose because of a key injury/rest day or an outburst from one opposing player.

This is absolutely needed. In the playoffs (especially for leagues who are playing for quite a large sum of money) it doesn't make any sense for one week playoff games. It gives a major advantage to whichever team has their SP aces starting twice. This balances out during the regular season, but to get bumped out of the playoffs b/c Bumgarner and Syndergaard are one start pitchers and you're going against an opponent who has Scherzer and Sale on two-start weeks... how does that make any sense? I have already begun discussing w/ my co-commissioner finding an alternative platform that would allow this even though we have always used Yahoo and would really prefer not to switch.

I would love the ability to have the playoffs be 2 weeks each while the regular season is 1 week each.

This used to be an option, why was it taken away?!?
