Playoffs - Odd number of teams and more Bye week options
This playoff format would allow for an odd number of teams in the playoffs and other options for Bye weeks in the first week of playoffs. Currently, this is not an option for playoff formats.

We would like to have the option to have more than 8 teams make playoffs in our league. Bye weeks can be included to facilitate this, or start playoffs little earlier. Leagues could customize as necessary based on conference or league format they follow.

ESPN has had 2 week playoffs since the beginning. Yahoo can you please add this basic feature that has been inexplicably left out for over a decade?

Would like to have more options for playoffs, this year and in the future. I want to only have 2 division winners make playoffs, but do not have that option.

Shorter season option is a must. Why does our fantasy season have to come down to the time where players are shutdown or given more rest?
Plus then we could wrap up baseball before NFL fantasy :)

Allow playoff options to be customized based on division. It's infuriating that Yahoo defaults to 1-6 overall winning percentages instead of intra-divisional playoffs.

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

Please allow the shorter regular season. Things get stupid the last few weeks, this would be a HUGE benefit to leagues.
Please!!!

I think simplest thing to do is allow Commissioners to set regular season weeks and playoff weeks themselves. No need to have any default limitations. Maybe some suggestions or a "do it yourself" optoin. We instituted a wild card round to include more teams in the playoffs, but that required us to have 10 playoff teams - which is not allowed either. More flexible playoff systems with more customization would be fantastic. Thanks for this suggestions.

Please allow for a shorter regular Season! I would love for Fantasy Baseball Playoffs to be going on right now.

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 issue. Please give the commisioners more control of when and what happens in their leagues.

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.

Please add the two-week championship option. This feedback item was added a year and half ago. Is Yahoo even reviewing their users suggestions or just choosing to ignore them?!? These are simple asks that should not be hard to implement and would improve the user experience significantly.

I just converted my 8 year league to Yahoo from ESPN due to most of your options. I am now going back to my ESPN league because you do not offer two week playoff matchups. How can this not be an option. Pathetic.

Come on Yahoo, this request was started back in 2013.
Allow teams to start the playoffs as early as week 19 and allow the option for a two week championship.

I am in a 20 team league.
We have 12 teams make playoffs, with 4 teams getting byes the 1st week.
I have moved to ESPN the last 2 years, because YAHOO does not offer this feature.
However, if YAHOO were to get it, I would move back over here very quickly, because I prefer the YAHOO interface much more.
