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.

I do admit my team this year was not all that great but I did beat the team that came in 4th twice and now I placed 5th

I selected playoff reseeding thinking I could set my playoffs based on head to head tiebreakers. Now I realize that it's not possible to do that (which I totally don't agree with) and now it won't let me switch off the automatic reseeding. This is going to ***** up my entire playoff bracket and I have no power to fix it. Makes me look like bad commissioner when I say playoffs are going to be one way and they are set up another way.

Nothing changed this season regarding the regular season tiebreakers.
Best record is first, then most points. If most points is a tie, you go back to the previous week.
In the playoffs, for public and Pro leagues, the only tiebreaker is seeding. In private leagues, the commish can select H2H results during the season as the 1st tiebreaker if they wish, then seeding.
And no one changed your settings.

You have to be kidding me with this inconsiderate move. All the sudden my leagues settings have been changed without my permission. I have been doing a league on yahoo for years, now I can't have the settings I want? When the season began I rolled over the settings, should be overall points, which is clearly the most fair way. Who cares about head to head that is idiotic!
Question is, do we want to be able to pick tiebreakers??? -

You can find the above in NOTES at the top of your league page. You can do what you want, you just have to do a little work.
So yes, you CAN, set up the bracket the way you want to.

I have a head to head league with 2 divisions. There is no way to set up standard divisional playoffs with the division winner and 2 wild cards for each division and then the winners of the championship games go to the superbowl. The current format takes the top 6 teams, regardless of division standings, and brackets them according to overall record regardless of division.
What is the point of having 2 divisions, if you are just going to format the playoffs the same as having only 1 division? The commissioner has no ability to change the brackets. I would like to see divisional brackets ( i.e. ... AFC / NFC playoffs) or at least give the commissioner the ability to change the brackets.They don't just put the Patriots against the Falcons in the first round of the playoffs because of overall standings and They don't take 3 wild cards from the AFC just because one of them has a better record then an NFC team. There are 2 wild cards in the AFC and 2 wild cards in the NFC, whether or not there was a team with a better record than the lowest rated playoff team in the opposing division.

I've read the tie breaker information and I understand the commissioner doesn't have the ability to change playoff bracket. My ask is to have a rule change by your group that it will only use the division winning percentage only if the same amount of games were played in that division. If not, then it should look at total points as the tie breaker.
It isn't fair comparison if the number of division games played are not the same. -

H2H results are not used in season tiebreakers. Only in the playoffs if the commish chose the option.

Then you need to have a points based league. This can't be done in H2H leagues.

Head 2 head results can be used as a tiebreaker in the playoffs in private leagues, but the season tiebreaker is based on how you did against the league, not a specific team.

In ANY sport out there. Head to head record breaks ties FIRST. Then other factors kick in. This is completely ******** to lose a tiebreaker to a team that you have a 2-0 record against. **** the stats showed that if I had the same schedule as the team I beat TWICE already, I would have a a record 4 wins better than his. Unreal and disgraceful oversight.

My league would like an option of teams #5 & #6 in a 6 team playoff field to be determined by overall points instead of win/loss record.

There should be a division standing as head to head. Points stats are good but they shouldn't determine the seed in the playoffs. I had a 9th seed that beat 8th in the regular season.

We have 2 divisions of 5...Firemen vs Cops....Top seed each division gets bye. 2vs 3 in week 14 on each side....week 15 winner of 2vs 3 plays #1 seed. week 16 its 1 cop vs 1 fireman for the title and a 3rd place game. No way to set this up under Yahoo's settings. I wouldn';t think it would be that hard to allow commish control the change playoff settings

1st tiebreakers should be head to head !!!

SCOTT FAY commented
Absolutely ... I beat the guy behind me twice, and still could've lost the division based on divisional record being #1 tiebreaker

Mark commented
The first tie-breaker in divisional leagues should be head to head record. Using divisional records when the schedule is unbalanced creates an unfair advantage for teams.

m having the same problem. I had a family emergency which slowed getting me league going this year and we use a 20-team league that has its schedule based on a set criteria and now it is messed up for this season because it says I can't change something that I should have been able to change according to the site. Let me make adjustments all season long like it say I can do.

This seems like a simple fix and I'm not sure why it doesn't already exist?

It says in the comish tools
"Customize matchups for each week of the season and set your League's Rivalry Weeks." It also says Availability is " All Season"
This is not the case! I kept getting errors when trying to load draft results so when I did them the next day it now only lets me adjust the schedules for weeks 2 - 14 and not week one. Our league has used yahoo for nine years and now our whole layout if wrong because according to help at yahoo week one can NOT be changed after 11:59pm on 09/07 even though I was getting errors and had no help from yahoo so late at night.
This seems like a really easy adjustment that can easily be made by any developer or coder.
Also leagues should be able to structure playoff schedules as they see fit and I have seen it brought up yearly and still no help.
