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.
This feature is now available with Yahoo Fantasy Commissioner Plus.

Why is this still gathering feedback? Shouldn't be particularly difficult to enable the *option* right? Go check Apex Leagues and maybe you can figure out how they enabled it.
Remember, it's an *option* for gamers. You're creating more value for users and attracting more serious users as well; doesn't change any kind of default settings...

Can you please add a Fantasy Football setting for leagues to allow multiple wins per week: 1 win for winning your head-to-head matchup and 1 win for finishing in the top half of the league in scoring.
Therefore, each week, every manager can go 0-2, 1-1 or 2-0.

Yahoo add this, please. Would love to play every other team every week. But if you keep refusing that, I'll take multiple matchups any day.

Similar to another idea but allow commissioner to create a custom victory point based league standings. For example, in a 10 team league, something like 10 victory points for a win and an additional point for every team you would've beat that week. For example:
In scoring terms, Team 1 beats Team 2 and Team 9 Beats Team 10
Team 1 - 19 Victory Points (1 win + outscored 9 teams)
Team 2 - 8 Victory Points (0 Win + outscored 8 teams)
Team 9 - 11 Victory Points (1 Win + outscored 1 team)
Team 10 - 0 Victory Points (0 Win + outscored 0 teams)It takes away some of the luck factor without completely removing it. But allow the commissioner to determine the points system.

I agree with the problem, but better solutions are available.
Your league can use "total points" ranking to determine the team which really was the best during the season.
Or, Yahoo can adopt cross-country scoring. -

When is Yahoo going to make this change? This should have been done a decade ago. I can't think of a single reason why multiple matchups isn't at the top of the To Do List.

I've pitched this idea for my league for five years. It's seems like a logical way to eliminate the "luck" of head-to-head. Plus, it get rids of the old adage "That's just fantasy," when a team that scores the second most points in a week gets a loss, despite outscoring everyone in the league, except for one team.

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

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

Mass commented
Please allow this. Why is it still in gathering feedback stage.

Mass commented
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.

Matt Skahen commented
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.

Longtime Yahoo customer don't want to leave for another site, but my league really wants doubleheaders.

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
-
Mike Marano commented
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.
