Playoffs - Edit matchups for every round.
This feature would allow commissioners to edit the matchups for every round of the playoffs. Currently, only the first round of the playoffs can be changed.

Customizable playoffs. I want a 5 team playoff to be an option for a 12 team league. I like the % of teams being 5 of 12 as opposed to 4 or 6. The way to do it is week 13 is a bye for 1st and 2nd seeds. Week 13 for seeds 3-5 would have a points matchup. Top 2 scorers advance. Week 14 resumes normal playoff format for matchups.

At the bare minimum the consolation for a 10 team six playoff bracket league needs to be fixed. The four consolation teams not in the championship bracket should not all be on byes the first week of the playoffs. This is just dumb. They should play out their consolation bracket week 1 and 2 of the playoffs, and that third week of the fantasy playoffs should be reserved for those teams that earned it, the teams playing for third and fourth, and the championship.

Yes, we need to have 2 weeks for Super Bowl in fantasy!

First-year with Yahoo.... previously on CBS Sportsline for 15 years. Our league allows the top seed to choose their opponent. It's an advantage rewarded for being a Top-Seeded Team in a Round.
For the Semi-Final Round, the #1 Seed fresh off their bye gets to choose from the 2 winners of the Opening Round. I was able to change the seedings in the 1st Round to allow the #3 Seed to choose their opponent. But the reseeding option is now locked down for the Semi-Final Round.
CBS allows the Commissioner to set the Playoff Matchups, it was very easy. It seems like a nice option to add. At this point, our Semi-Final Matchups will be different than the Website. Maybe we will get lucky and the Final Game will matchup, but upsets will have to happen. We are still able to track the scoring, but the matchups being different than the website is not ideal.

Agree. League I run allows the 1 seed to pick their semifinal matchup, and in the past it has worked out to where existing seeding allows for the correct matchup. However this year it doesn’t, and I’m unable to go in and edit semi final matchups or adjust our re-seed option since the playoffs have started.

I need the Lock Eliminated Teams to NO. However since the playoff week technically started I am unable to change it. This should be a changeable option throughout. And of course the Yahoo help team never returns messages so they can maybe make this change after the fact.

Yahoo should allow the commisioner to change the teams making the playoffs. We track an alternate scoring system outside of Yahoo. Even though we are a head to head league, we would like to have the 6th place wild card team be the best ALL PLAY scoring team not in the playoffs take that spot. C'mon Yahoo, make this change!

My league's consolation tournament uses the 2 teams who lose in Round 1 of the playoffs and I'd like to manually change their brackets when the playoffs begin.

What everyone needs to remember is that there are all sorts of dishonest commishes out there and too much flexibility just helps them cheat. Why would you need to reseed them weekly anyway? You have the option to stick with original seeding or to reseed based on results.

The ability to manually edit the playoffs allows for a huge variety of playoff formats and in my opinion is the most glaring issue miss on Yahoo’s part to date. Love Yahoo, league in its 11th year, just really need this change for 2019!!

Yes this is a very important function - allows for a huge variety of playoff formats. Please add for next year.

I would love to have the ability to manually change playoff matchups weekly for the same reasons

The ability for a commissioner to reseed teams throughout the playoffs would be key to MANY types of leagues. Not sure why the reseeding function needs to lock after the playoffs start.

Yes! Why can't we update the seeding each week? See other post "Manual Playoff Seeding for Each Round."

Aaron Stiefel commented
I 2nd this idea. Why can't these be editable throughout the playoffs? Please allow this function through all levels of the playoffs: "Edit Playoff Seeds Availablity: Post Regular Season, Pre-Playoffs, League Types: Head Changes made here override current playoff seeding options."

I agree. I have a 16 team league I’m the commishoner of. On cbs I could set the playoff matchups and consolation match ups, but yahoo doesn’t allow that. It would be great to give this option to commoshoners, it should not be tough as we set the schedule as commsohiners. This seems really weird why it is not set up like this.

Not having control really sucks.

I know it's possible to set the playoffs manually before they start, but why isn't it possible for the commish to set the playoff matchups each week? I am in a league on CBS where the number 3 seed gets to pick if they play 4, 5, or 6. Then, the 1 seed gets to pick if they play 2 or one of the winners from the previous week. It's not fair to get stuck playing a lower seed who maybe had some injuries but come playoff time they have a juggernaut.

This will allow the commissioner to set up the playoffs in our 12 team, 2 division league without having to jump through hoops. It will make our playoffs easier to follow. Thank you
