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.

I completely agree. In August and September this past year, only 4 team were still active... The ones in the playoffs. Our playoff seeding was messed up because we kept winning landslide match ups against inactive teams.
I want to start the playoffs in late July/early august to keep the season fresh. I prefer yahoo (for baseball and football), but I'm switching to ESPN if I can't change the season length.

Absolutely!! I may switch to ESPN just for this feature. I love Yahoo fantasy baseball but I am usually ready for Fantasy Football around Early-Mid August. This would be perfect and my entire 12 team league would be in favor of it.

I have no idea why this wouldn't even be an option...seems like such an easy fix to make.

Two week playoffs matchups are considered the STANDARD for baseball H2H in most leagues. It should absolutely be an option in Yahoo. Not just the championships, but all playoff rounds.

Why shouldn't the tiebreaker have something to do with the playoffs like lowest ERA? Regular season should not matter at all in the playoffs... Why should the higher seed get the tiebreaker? I think the tiebreaker should be a stat that you can't manipulate by adding and dropping player like ERA, WHIPP or batting average.

... comissioners require more flexibility in setting their league rules. Yahoo, make such flexiblity a reality. Enough with the rigid top-down model, give commissioners their say.

Yahoo, simply, what are you waiting for to make the two-week finals option a reality? Make the change, for the love of god, make the change. I do not understand the delay, at all. A one week final is not sufficient, at all, any team can fluke a one week victory - make the change!

Great idea. Fantasy seasons should have the option of ending sooner, too. Too much "resting" of players going on during league finals. Open up a "duration of season" optoin to commissioners, let us choose when our finals will be. A two-week option, too, please.

I like this idea I've always wanted to end my playoffs at roster expansion in September. MLB players don't get put on the D/L. Teams with big leads rest studs. Fantasy players start to focus on football so guys complain others are winning because someone forgot to set his lineup due to a fantasy football draft.
I think this is the best idea of all of them I've read.

I'm fine with the shortened All-Star week to be combined with another week but when choosing how the playoffs will be set up in the beginning of the year, Yahoo offers 2 options for 12 team/6 playoff HTH: weeks 22, 23, and 24 (6 teams) or weeks 23, 24, and 25 (6 teams). Why not make the first option come with a 2 week championship? It's a very easy fix. Yahoo, please give us this option back!

Let commissioners choose when their season ends and when their playoffs begin, specifically for H2H leagues.

Agreed, its messing up my league right now. Can it be added by end of season? I've got two divisions as well, one is much more competitive than the other. Please fix!

Completely agree. I have posted a suggestion to this effect, and have seen at least one other. This should be so simple to implement. Yahoo, please make 2 week matchups available.

This is a good idea that would be easy to implement. Please do this!

I love this! I'm in a 10-team league, and I can see my guys being for an 18-game regular season. This would be a great option! Perhaps the best fix is to simply be able to customize season length to any desired result.
