Playoffs - Two week playoff matchups.
This feature would allow commissioners to implement 2 week long playoff matchups for their league. For example, in a 4 team playoff, the first round of the playoffs would run for weeks 14 and 15 and then the Championship would be weeks 16 and 17. Currently, this feature is not available to commissioners.

Ditto this request-I have wanted a 2 week championship for years!

We have an 8 team league that plays each opponent exactly twice in the first 14 weeks. With the addition of week 18, we would like to have the semifinals remain in week 15 and have a two-week championship cumulative round in weeks 16 and 17.

We want to have a single week tournament for ALL teams in our league after the playoffs are done (week 18). The CBS fantasy football site allows it's members to do this and we would like Yahoo to do the same.

Agreed, with the extra week being added in 2021, the option to have a two-week championship using combined points would be great.

With the extra week this year my league wants to keep playoffs the same except make the championship matchup be two weeks (weeks 16 and 17). Doesn’t seem to be possible at the moment which seems like a missed opportunity.

Please let us choose how our playoffs are formatted. I want to make the semi finals 1 week in week 15 and then the finals 2 weeks in week 16 and 17! Why can't I do this now?

We have an extra week of NFL football, give us the option to have the semi finals in week 15 and the finals be the total combined points from weeks 16 and 17

I want to be able to getting scoring for two weeks and combine the scores to determine a champion. The NFL added a 17th game this year. Since we get an extra week the idea came up for a two week championship. Can we get this as an option?

At a bare minimum, 2 week match-ups should be an option. There are several improvements that could be made including much more customization. But having an option for a 2 week playoff matchup has been on this forum since at least 2014... it can't possibly take 7 years to develop that bit of code.

NFL has 17 games now through 18 weeks. Fantasy needs to adjust. I think a 6-team playoff plays:
Round 1- Week 14
Round 2- Week 15
Final- Weeks 16 & 17 (most total points in those two weeks wins)This preserves the 13 week regular season records for long standing leagues and makes the finals all the more interesting.

For a 12 team league, wish to have 4 teams in each bracket - Championship, Consolation & Toilet Bowl. Also allow for playoff rounds to be cumulative score over two weeks - e.g. Weeks 13+14, and Weeks 15+16

Please provide the option to allow for two week cumulative score during the playoffs, like ESPN & NFL.com, among others, do. Could be Weeks 13-16 or Weeks 14-17.

2 week playoffs are long overdue for playing in Yahoo FFL. Semis in weeks 13/14 and finals in weeks 15/16 would be ideal, hope we can get it for 2021.

Since the NFL has expanded to 7 teams making the playoffs, Yahoo should give leagues the same option of being able to choose 6, 7, or 8, etc. playoff teams rather than just 4, 6, 8

For playoffs, there should be an option for them to be 2-weeks long. This would ensure a game wasn't just a one-time fluke Kamara win. ESPN has this option and it works very well.

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.

People have wanted this for years. Fantasy Baseball Championship should last 2 weeks. After playing for 6 months, 1 week is not enough to determine the champion. There is too much luck involved. The last week of the season is filled with players sitting or missing starts because most games are meaningless at that point. A 2 week championship helps reduce those issues.

Agree 100% I have 4 leagues on ESPN right now. I would bring all 4 of them to Yahoo if they offered 2 week playoff rounds. This is a deal breaker by not adding it.
