Schedule/Scoring Formats - 'Doubleheaders vs league score median'.
Each week, the median fantasy points of all teams in the league is calculated by taking the middle number in a sorted list of scores of each team. Each team would get a win if they beat the league median and a loss if they lose to it.

Its a nice hybrid of head to head and pure points.
Pure points has the disadvantage of a single player score in one week impacting the entire season.
Head to head has the problem of bad luck facing the wrong opponent on a given week or a schedule where some teams get to play weak teams twice, others play the best teams twice.The mix is alot like daily. Top 5 teams get a win, bottom 5 get a loss (for a 10 team league). Its more talent based bc if your team is in the top half they get a win.
Please try it. I am sure it will become the most popular version of fantasy football. -

We need multi match weekends! Would give us another great option to add to our league! Come on yahoo!

Yes, a double header one head to head and the other vs the league average. This helps even out those with the highest points who are just unlucky.

Or allow commissioners to change records themselves in order to implement this. Thanks.

The schedule format should be treated like "two games a week." You play your head-to-head matchup, but the top half of the league in scoring also gets a win each week (and the bottom half gets a loss). So, every week you will go 2-0, 1-1 or 0-2. For example, if it's a 12-team league, the six highest-scoring teams each week would get a win regardless of whether they won their head-to-head matchup. This allows you to keep the fun of head-to-head play but removes some of the bad luck you might encounter when you put up a good score only to face an opponent who has Lamar Jackson the week he accounts for six touchdowns

Hi Yahoo -- any update on this? It's been in the "Gathering Feedback" stage for ~three-plus years.

I want this as a feature so bad! Playing 2 teams a week for a total of 26 games would make things so much better!!!

This adds more match ups to enjoy and helps smooth out the out-of-the-blue high scores or low scores that can affect records.

Add an option to do a doubleheader scoring system where every week each team plays a head to head match up and a match up vs the field (top half scoring each week get a W and bottom half get an L). So every week teams either go 2-0, 1-1, or 0-2. It would make things way less random and more deserving teams would make the playoffs. It would be a simple addition. Please do this!

Just run a "total points" league.
It does a better job of what you are wanting than this idea does. -

This idea really doesn't solve the problem.
Let's say that an 8-team league has these scores during a week:
222, 220, 206, 203, 203, 203, 121, 118
You have 6 teams with a top half of the league score.
Which 4 teams were the top 4?
Do you give the 4th-5th-6th place teams a tie?
A better (more fair) fix would be to have every team play every team every week.
In that scenario, having three teams tie would be no problem.
In that scenario, the highest scoring team come out better than the second highest scoring team every time. -

I'd prefer to see Yahoo use "All In Play" for league standings.
Have each team play every other team every week.
It would solve the problem that you want to solve.
And,it would be more fair. -

Have you considered a scoring system which has every team play every team each week?
That system would would accomplish what you want to have happen,
and it would be more fair. -

Let's think about a six team league.
If the weekly scores are: 107, 104, 63, 63, 63, 58
which three teams get the extra win?
You really can't even declare the third and fourth place scores as a tie because the fifth score is also 63. -

And, do you really think that more than two of these teams should have an extra win?
