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.

Would love to have doubleheaders in 2 weeks of yahoo. How can we make that happen??

Totally agree with this... Would add the ability to select which weeks are double headers (for example non bye week weeks). Not just a flat double header or not double header for all season

Please add this feature. It's been 3+ years this has been requested. The programming can't be this difficult to implement

Please for the love of god implement this. Been waiting for it for 5 years. Once MFL gets a solid mobile app we're leaving yahoo for it.

I've been asking for this for several years, we used double headers last season and it was awesome. It created alot of extra work for me as the commissioner however it allowed us to have a balanced schedule and a full 16 game schedule. We're only a 10 team league but used double headers on weeks 4 & 11 so we made sure not to overlap the bye weeks.
I know they can add this feature....not sure why they haven't.
I'm interested in hearing how others have used double headersSchaf

Nobody knows about this site. I think some dev made it to help them out years ago and then forgot. You can't even find it without 20 minutes of searching.
Sad that "add smack talk" is higher than this. Not that any of these really matter.

for the past 10 years we have played on yahoo fantasy. Every year i look at new features hoping the site developers will add this feature. can't understand why it has not been added yet.
we are voting next week to decide if we stay with yahoo or move to espn or cbs because they have this feature.

Hey Yahoo, please google VP scoring. 12 of us utilize MFL annually only because of the VP scoring utilization. I can say if Yahoo created the Victory Point league option, I would get all 12 of us over on the site for our league.
VP scoring is the fairest way out there. You play a H2H matchup weekly along with your total points is ranked 1 to 12 weekly and you get VP's for the win/loss and the rank of your score, etc.

This needs to be done I’ve been posting every so often to get it done also... cbs just isn’t as good of a platform... Yahoo is way more user friendly ... just add the option of playing multiple opponents per week

Each weeks has potential for 2 wins/2 losses. 1 W/L determined by your H2H matchup. 1 W/L determined by finishing in the top half of your league in points scored that week.
For instance. You win your matchup 67-65. You are awarded 1 win for your matchup. However, your 67 points scored that week were 11th most that week (12 teams). You will be 1-1 that week, while the person you beat will be 0-2.
This reduces the amount of schedule luck a person receives over the course of a season and puts a higher emphasis on points scored rather than points against. -

I beg, please allow a customization schedule. We have 12 teams, 3 divisions, 4 teams each and playoffs start week 15. Do the math. Someone is left out and you only play 11 teams total and not all 12. Help my friends not feel left out!

I would think that the computer code writers would embrace a change to having every team play every team each week. They wouldn't need to have the computer generate a schedule of which team plays which team for the league. They wouldn't need to store the schedule for use during the season. At the end of the week, they could simply rank the teams by their scores for the week to determine each team's wins and losses for that week.
Thus, it would require less computer code to program, less computer time to run, and less data capacity to store. -

Please add this, and allow flexibility with this. Don't just implement it so that every week has to be a double header, or no week is a double header.
We'd like to have the same structure as the NFL, so 17 games -- some weeks would be double headers, and other's wouldn't.
This feature would pull many people from the more robust sites like MFL. Your interface is great, just get more options for your hardcore fans!

I want this option as well. As a commissioner, I want to be able to schedule a division game and non-division game each week. Not sure why this hasn't been done yet. Idea first posted prior to 2016 season.

I am strongly hoping yahoo adds this as an option for leagues. Everyone in the two leagues I am in wants to change the league to this type of standings/records, it keeps the weekly head to head match-ups relevant, while also giving teams that put up a lot of points but are having bad luck a better chance to compete. PLEASE add this in for next year so we do not need to look at other options and change the site we have been using for YEARS.
