Each week, the median fantasy points of all teams in the league is calculated by taking the middle number in a sorted list of scores of each team. Each team would get a win if they beat the league median and a loss if they lose to it.

General feedback and feature requests for league chat.
As of 3/30/23, we've recently made some design changes and added a few new awesome features to the Fantasy Chat experience across all platforms.

In this format, every team in the league plays every other team each week. For example, in a 10 team league, a team will play the other 9 teams every week and earn a total of 9 wins and/or losses. Currently, this is not an option for commissioners.

Let us change the amount of roster spots before the season begins
We have had the same keeper league for 20+ years. We keep everyone from year to year. We draft 5 players each year. To do this we have to faux-cut 5 guys (usually our best players, so they won't get picked up), draft the 5 new, and then by the season start, we add back our protected players, by cutting 5 guys. It would help me immensely, to be able to start the year with 28 roster spots and drop down to 23 right before the season.

NFL playoff
Our fantasy football league has an NFL playoff format from Wild Card Weekend through the Super Bowl and would love to have Yahoo be the online administrator. We start a regular lineup each week with one caveat: once a player starts a round, they are ineligible for subsequent rounds. For example, if you start Patrick Mahomes in his wild card game, he is ineligible for the rest of the playoffs regardless off how far Kansas City advances. You really to think about which teams will go the farthest and plan accordingly: you don't want to have to…
That's really interesting! Thanks for your feedback, I will share that with our product team.

Allow Reformatting for Playoff Teams- Odd # to Clinch
Right now Yahoo allows for even number of teams to clinch playoffs. Can you make new feature to allow odd number of teams? So example, in my 10 team fantasy football league, yahoo only allows 6 or 8 teams to make it. We would want 7 teams to make it, with first place team getting a bye. It's what the NFL does too so it should be an option.

Conferences
We would like to have the option of conferences. Each conference would have its own draft of all players. We would then have the option of scheduling season games between the conferences (yes some games may have matchups with the same players on both teams) or just within the conference until the playoffs. Then there would be an overall championship between the two conferences. This would be beneficial for leagues that have 14 or more teams.
Hi Ryon,
Thanks for your feedback.
We will pass along your request to our product team.
Thanks,
