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.

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

So your playoffs would run for 6 weeks? and start in mid to late August?

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.

Why in the world would you guys take that away ?? -

Baseball is such a long season, why determine the winner based on 1 week. At least give leagues the option of a 2 week championship. Im in a league 10+ years old and we are considering jumping ship to ESPN or cbs because of this

2 week playoffs - shorten the regular season, and make the playoffs more fair and less random

Please include an option to do a 4 team, 2-weeks each round playoff option for ALL fantasy sports. ESPN Fantasy has this option but you do not.
