Most leagues like to have some kind of consolation bracket or competition for those who don't make the playoffs. The 6-team bracket is limited to only the leagues that fit that size.

You should be able to choose the option of having a consolation bracket with 4-8 teams (3 weeks max). Currently, unless you have 6 teams in the bracket, Yahoo doesn't even track these consolation scores anywhere besides the specific teams page. I had to create a scoring chart offline to keep them involved.

Additionally, you could offer an "all play" option for the consolation as well, where those teams compete for the best 3-week score.

As many are saying, waivers don't clear until like 3am EST on Wednesday, meaning that the lowest waiver period (1-day) results in the player not being available until 3am EST on Friday.

This is not only a ridiculous wait period for the lowest setting, but it blocks anyone from picking up players who play on Thursday night. Those players will now be on waivers from the time they are dropped Tuesday PM, for a whole week due to them playing o Thursday... this has been a HUGE bugaboo for my league.

My proposals:

> Option 1 - Make a time of day, say 10am... All players dropped by 10am will clear waivers the "next day" (instead of current 1-day rules, which is basically waiting 2 days). Players dropped after said time will follow regular 1-day waiver rules. This stops waiver times from becoming an issue.

> Option 2 - Any player that's on waivers but has a game the next day, automatically clears waivers at a certain time. So if Player A is dropped on Wednesday at 4pm but he has a game on Thursday, he would clear waivers so he's "in play" for Thursday. Same would apply to the majority of players who would play on Sunday. The issue is picking when they clear, maybe 12pm Noon on gameday (regardless of Thursday or Sunday).

The options for waivers are very limited, either running Tuesday PM or players always stay on waivers (continuous). We'd like to run waivers on multiple days, but still enable "free for all" on game day so owners aren't stuck waiting for waivers.

If we could get the above change, that would be awesome. Beyond that, I believe it should be built in that, on a day that a player has a game, they are removed from waivers. This allows owners to make moves on Thursday night prior to the game if needed, while the players not in the game are still on waivers.

1. Not all initial posts and/or replies "stick." Once a comment does not post (Yahoo glitch), it is impossible to re-post it. Very frustrating and discouraging to all Yahoo participants.

2. First replies to an initial post do not "show" until page is refreshed and/or a thumb is clicked on. Also, when replies are opened (on an initial post), if a thumb is then clicked, the replies close. Probably not correct and should be fixed.

3. Reply threads are "upside down." You have to read them from the bottom up to follow the continuity in chronological order.

4. Duplicate "nicknames" and avatars must be prevented . . . largely to stop impostors from making a mockery of other legitimate posters and ruining the Yahoo "experience." Also, to distinguish the different identities of posters with the same name (i.e. There are dozens of "John"s and it can get confusing as to which one is talking). If there _are_ no two identical Email addresses worldwide, Yahoo can fix this problem.

5. The Fantasy and Gambling "stuff" should be put in its own separate section and removed from the _real_ sports information. (See #6 next.)

6. The original one-page sports format (with the comments section included and no gambling and fantasy stuff) should be restored. It is much more concise and simple/easy to use than the "new and (not) improved" version we have to suffer with now. Let the gamblers have their fun in their own section but please let the non-gambling sports fans enjoy their sports without being bombarded by the fantasy/gambling information.

7. When a link to another site is copied and pasted into a reply, it first shows in a box as it appears on the site, but . . . when "Reply" is clicked (and it posts), it omits the original first line of text that had appeared in the box.

8. The "mute" feature is permanent and cannot be reversed. Maybe an "unmute" option could be provided. Because of constant screen "jumping" . . . Mute can be hit by accident and can't be undone.

9. Posters should be prevented from giving their own posts a thumb up or down.

10. I would be nice if there were an "edit" option (to make corrections) for comments (shortly) after they are posted. (Facebook has this feature.)

11. Flagging spammers doesn't seem to stop them. Does abuse flagging (for any reason) do any good?

The problem I have with FF is it relies heavily on how well you drafted. Get lucky and you win for 16 weeks straight.

In my league we use FAAB which is a lot of fun because it creates a supply and demand market and assigns dollar values to waiver wire players.

Here is my idea. What would be cool is a week-to-week contract system. Teams get a budget just like real life teams. Players get "signed" to a contract on draft day from anywhere from 1 week to the whole season. Initially, this is based on algorithms tracking projected value, draft ranking etc. But as the season progresses it becomes purely market-driven. Maybe I pick up Tom Brady for 3 weeks because that's when I need him and that's the only way I can afford him.

This system creates a lot of turnover and makes fantasy football way more transactional and fun and not just about game day and holding a bunch of keepers till the end.

A DEF should not be penalized for "points allowed" if they weren't even on the field when it happened. If Jared Goff throws a pick-six, it's hard to blame the LAR DEF for that. If Tom Brady gets strip-sacked and it is run back for a TD, how is that NE DEF's fault?

Frankly, I don't think the DEF should be penalized with "points allowed" resulting from the offense turning the ball over inside their own 20 yard line, but at least there is an argument to be made that the DEF was on the field when the points were eventually scored.

But, at the very least, a DEF shouldn't be marked down for points scored while they were never even on the field.
