Fix Draft Board View during on-line drafts with pick trades and 3rd round reversal.
Our drafting managers have complained that the DRAFT BOARD view does not present a clear, linear view of how the draft picks are displaying in the order they're being made.
This happens during the real-time draft, not necessarily looking at the screen after draft ends.
Hey Steve,
Thanks for your feedback. We will pass along your feedback to our draft team to look into this further.

THIRD ROUND REVERSAL should be a standard option for snake draft orders
Leagues should be able to randomize their draft order, including reversing the order at the start of the third round and then snaking until the last pick.
Hi Steve,
A commissioner can use their tools to randomize the draft order now, after the team list has been finalized. Once randomized, you can copy down the order and use the tools to create a custom draft order to set up a 3rd round reversal.
Thanks,

Offer balanced schedule options for leagues with divisions
It's more fair to organize schedules the same for all teams in two and three division leagues.
10 team league, two 5-team divisions...Play other division 1X, same division 2X = 5 + 8 = 13 week season.
12 team league, three 4-team divisions...Play other divisions 1X, same division 2X = 8 + 6 = 14 week season.
These balanced schedules should be default options.
BETTER STILL, how about offering the option to play every team in the league EVERY week? This is just a variation of the idea of playing versus the Median score from that week's games. But it's…
Hey Steve,
In Yahoo Fantasy Head-to-Head Categories, Points or One Win leagues, the schedule for each team to compete against each other is set automatically. It does try to take into account if the league uses divisions to create an even schedule. As commissioner, you're able to adjust the schedule to suit your league's needs; https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN6320.html.

Positional limits throughout the season
Last season in our fantasy football season for league 4556 (which I'm the commissioner) and league 3608 (which I'm a participant but the commissioner agrees with what I'm talking to you about) both league suffered from hoarding of players on the rosters (QB's-RB's-WR's and TE's) which made the league difficult when it cam to trying to improve ones team through the waiver process. Both myself and the commissioner of league 3608 set positional limits this season only to find out they will only apply to the drafting process, thus, hoarding can occur once again.
This really defeats the purpose of…Hi Frank,

OFFER 12 TEAM PRIZE LEAGUES
Good evening,
I'm reaching out to ask if you can please start offering 12 team prize leagues for fantasy football season.
Keep everything else the same, but please allow the option to join a 12 team league.
10 team leagues are fun, but it puts WAY less emphasis on drafting and roster management. Everyone has stacked rosters, on paper, after the draft is over.
If we truly want a competitive experience, 12 teams has been the sweet spot for years now. I'm finally reaching out to see if this can be implemented for the upcoming season.
Thank you,

Bring back the Draft Pick Grid in The Pop-Down Menu
A few years ago there was an easily accessible tab under the draft pop down menu that showed the draft pick grid and the owners of the draft picks for leagues that trade picks. You removed that tab, the only way I have been able to find it is during the commissioner settings in settings up the draft before the season. Will you please bring back the draft pick grid for fantasy hockey.
Hi Addison,
On the desktop or mobile website, you can hover of the Draft tab and then select the option for Draft Picks.
The Draft Picks page will allow you to see the draft picks for teams for the current season and next season.

Travis Hunter Position Classification
Greetings, The classification of Travis Hunter, as both a WR and CB, is causing heart ache within our league. A manager had drafted him and will be playing him as a defensive player. However, it is most likely that he will be playing on the offensive side of the ball. It gives that manager that drafted him a competitive advantage where one was not intended. It is an anomaly for certain, I am requesting that since he will be played as a WR, that his classification within the league be changed to WR, only. I am certain that this is…

Increase max buy in for custom leagues
It’s been capped at $250 buy in for 12 man league for like half a decade. Between inflation and just it generally being limiting anyway, an increase is long overdue. Any increase is appreciated, but going up to $500 would be great. Over the last few years I’ve been commissioner on multiple leagues and every year it gets harder to stick with yahoo simply because of this hard cap. Please don’t make me leave yahoo.

Scoring and Scheduling Format
Please consider going back to the previous format for the basketball schedules. It was a much better in the format showing the overall season record for each team as well as the rankings. It just seemed to be a more user friendly and an appealing look with good information.

Add new "Two NFL Teams only league format -It is fun
I don't know if you have access to one of my league titled "2 NFL teams" (ID 87656), but if you do, check it out. I/We self-manage the use of add-on rules to where each manager owns the rights to the players from just two NFL teams. Here is how it works - A) works best with 10 managers, but can use 12 B) Off-line snake draft, just two rounds C) Each round consists of drafting a Team DEF D) Commissioner manually puts each managers drafted Team DEF on the respective rosters E) Managers then can ONLY select players for…

Move Chat to main page and remove Updates from it
Just a couple of things:
1) Try as I may to promote the use of the "League Chat" feature through posting trivia questions, award managers extra "Free Agent Budget' dollars for posting in the League Chat, and posting questons to respond to...the use of the League Chat is only used about 10% as much as the Message Board was used. First recommendation is to bring back the message board. If we are stuck with League Chat I would recommend two things 1) put League Chat on the main page so managers will see it when they go to the site…Thank you for your feedback regarding league chat!

Other payout options
I feel there should be other ways to payout winnings to those who use your site for fantasy sports. I don't have a PayPal account. I stressed that fact in my first email to Yahoo sports. Now, I have received an email stating they will put my winnings in "My Verified PayPal Account." Which I don't have. There is some type of communications breakdown happening here. Can I get my winnings through any other medium? PayPal does not work for me.
Hi James,
Unfortunately, we do not offer other options that will allow you to withdraw your funds from your Fantasy Wallet.
A verified PayPal account is required for all withdrawals from your Yahoo Fantasy Wallet. You can link or unlink your account anytime during the season to prepare for your winnings; https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN26448.html.
The funds will remain in your wallet until you have linked a verified PayPal account that is not being used by any other Yahoo members for Yahoo Fantasy.

🏆 Hide Pre Draft Ranks 🏆
I’d like the option to hide pre-draft rankings for my league so that managers can’t see Yahoo’s default rankings before or during the draft.
I think this would be a great feature because it rewards managers who actually prepare and do their own research ahead of time. As it stands, some people show up on draft day, rely entirely on the default rankings, and still end up making the playoffs. Hiding pre-draft rankings would put more emphasis on preparation and strategy rather than just following a preset list.

change to scheduling system
I'm the commissioner of a 8 team league. I have two divisions with 4 teams in each one, we noticed that each team is playing the teams in there division up to 3 times in a season. My question to you is, since we play 14 weeks before the playoffs, do you have a schedule system that will allow each team to play each other twice for the year no matter the division they are in. If i calculated it correctly, that should be 7 teams, everybody body plays each other twice, comes to 14 weeks, then playoffs start week…

Remove Waiver Setting Disallowing managers to waiver a recently dropped player
There is a mandatory setting that disallows managers from submitting waiver claims on players they dropped. This rule does not make sense. The managers would be “penalized” for dropping and waiving using their priority or FAAB. Everyone should have access to everyone.
Example of why it’s bad. This season I dropped a backup, RB. In the game the primary got injured and he became the guy. I had #2 priority and wasn’t even allowed to submit a claim. Our #10 priority got him, but not even on his first claim. He submitted two claims, got his first and then claimed…

It isn't possible to place a waiver claim on a player that you have just dropped to waivers except in leagues that utilize FAB waivers, but we appreciate your feedback regarding this and we will pass it along to our team.
