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.

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

Tim Anderson commented
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.

I've wanted to switch to Yahoo from ESPN for 5 years now, but you don't have the option of making your playoff matchups last 2 weeks. This almost guarantees the better team always wins. You would have so many more people choose Yahoo over ESPN if you changed this!

I agree this needs to be an option.
Many years I've had the best regular season team, but finished 3rd because I had a "bad" week 15.

I think the 4 letter network has it where the playoffs are 2 week matchups, I'd actually love for that to be an option here.

Great Idea.....Our league wants this format now or certainly by 2020.
Simple to implement. Have regular season run as Head-To-Head. Then playoffs run structured Roto-style. Commissioner designates number of teams eligible for playoffs week 14, 15, 16. We have a 12 team league. Playoffs eligibility for top 6 then 4, then 2 for championship seems perfect. Yahoo....Get 'er done.... -

4 week playoff. 4 teams. 1 plays 4 and 2 plays 3. Highest cumulative score from the semi finals moves onto the super bowl. The Super Bowl is two weeks and the highest cumulative score wins

I agree it should at least be offered as an option for the championship game weeks 16 and 17. As i believe it give a better representation of the better team. NOT having this option is the reason I will probably bring my league to another fantasy site

Allow for each round of the playoffs to be 2 weeks long. We have a 12 week regular season, with 4 teams making the playoffs. #1 vs #4 and #2 vs #3 seed plays in week 13 and 14, with the combined score determining the winners. The winners move on to the championship game in Weeks 15-16 and the combined score for those 2 weeks determines the champ.
ESPN and NFL.com both allow for this. Please add multi-week playoff rounds.

100% agree with this - let me be able to have the 1st seed bye, and the remaining 5 teams fight for the top 3 spots in round 2.
