I’d like to submit a formal suggestion regarding the default playoff schedule for Yahoo Fantasy Basketball paid public leagues.

I strongly recommend moving the default fantasy basketball playoffs approximately two weeks earlier in the NBA season.

The current schedule places the fantasy playoffs very late in the NBA regular season, when player availability becomes increasingly unpredictable.

During the final weeks of the NBA regular season, fantasy managers frequently have to deal with factors such as:

• Players receiving rest days
• Teams managing workloads and minutes
• Stars being held out of games
• Injuries and precautionary absences
• Teams changing rotations
• Young players receiving increased playing time
• Teams with different competitive incentives late in the season

This creates a particularly difficult situation in head-to-head fantasy leagues because the outcome of a playoff matchup can be heavily affected by late-season player availability rather than the roster a manager built and managed throughout the season.

I believe moving the default public-league playoffs approximately two weeks earlier would provide a more consistent fantasy environment while still allowing private leagues and commissioners to customize their playoff schedules if they want to use the current format.

I hope Yahoo Fantasy will consider this change for future seasons. As I know most people would agree with this.

Thank you for taking the time to review my feedback.
