Playoffs - Odd number of teams
This playoff format would allow for an odd number of teams in the playoffs. Currently, this is not an option for playoff formats.

Voted! Moved my league from ESPN to Yahoo. ESPN had this as an option, really surprised that Yahoo doesnt.

Yahoo system is very user friendly, but the options need improved. Doubleheaders is the first thing, BUT....I would settle for customizable playoffs because we could setup the doubleheaders on our own and customize how we setup the playoffs.

Honestly, we really want to switch to Yahoo for fantasy football but refuse because still after all this time int he fantasy world your playoff system is very very outdated and limited.
ESPN allows single week matchups and 2 week matchups. Not only that you can determine your season length. For football and baseball. This alone is the only reason we use ESPN. We like yahoo more but until the customizable season length and playoff options are changed we won't be using Yahoo.
Please allow for that option. Extremely easy to do and not complicated for a company generally leading in the fantasy market.

They aren't listening. This message forum is a black hole.

I wanted to suggest this idea too. It's such a no-brainer and seems easy to implement!

Totally agree. This forum is a joke. 4 years on the number 1 issue. No response from yahoo.
And what changes do they make?? The remove the polling option from the message board. They remove the draft analysis numbers from the flex position. And they replace our classic helmets with these new cartoon cupcakes. 3 major down grades with no upgrades. Who thought that was a good idea? Fire them!
Are we on the same planet here?

This is the reason I am here as well. Bringing a league over from another site and that is how we have done it for 12 years. Need to make it happen for this league!

These forums are a joke.
WHATS NEW: GUESS WHAT GUYS -- WE'RE BRINGING BACK SMACK TALK AND CHANGING THE TEAM NAME LENGTH FROM 18 TO 20 CHARACTORS
THANKS FOR PLAYING ON YAHOO, WE'RE LISTENING!

My comments on this are 5 years old. 14 team league. Still would like to have 6 in the championship and 8 in the consolidation instead of having the bottom 2 teams eliminated completely.
Also would like a 7 team, 1 bye option. Top 7 in championship, bottom 7 in consolation. Teams 1 and 8 get a bye which solves for the odd team match-up. Re-seed after first round (4 teams left in each bracket)

My league has a requested this too. A manual way to do it would be to make it 8 teams and have the commissioner bench everybody on the 8th seed's team. Only that would prevent the 8 seed from playing in consolation bracket.

Please for the love of God, change the playoff option to accommodate a 14 team league and 7 playoff spots with one bye week... I don't understand why you uys won't listen to us... I've been loyal for 10 years... And on my way out... Please help!

Sam Irani commented

Please please please add a 7 teams/1 bye playoff setting. Yahoo show you care about you customers and listen to us. Its a little ridiculous that all other fantasy companys have fully customizable playoffs and you guys still have only 3 basic options. Please reply yahoo. Thank you

Came here for this. We'd like 7 team playoffs for our league as well.

The year, 2056. Cars hum through the air using anti-gravity technology developed less than a decade earlier. The average human life expectancy is 256 years, and only because most choose to die by ingesting a life-ending pill; the only thing not yet conquered is boredom.
Well, that, and Yahoo implementing any real substantive change to their fantasy football platform.
I really hope a competitor comes along one of these days and actually puts together reliable real-time stat tracking and a functional, robust and diverse platform.

Can you guys please add a playoff setting of 7 teams, 1 bye.
where the top overall seed of the regular season were to earns a bye for the first round of the playoffs instead of playing the 8th seed. after the first round bye the #1 seed would play the winner of the #4 and #5 seed matchup in the 2nd round. while the rest of the playoffs continues the same as if it were on an 8 team playoff setting.It would be nice to add an incentive to be the top overall seed but I feel like having 2 byes is too much. Cause at the moment my league is 8 team playoffs, no byes. and I am falling into the issue of people tanking late in the season to bottom of the league teams because they dont care or want the #1 seed becuase there is no incentive. I am ware that there is a setting of 6 teams, 2 byes but I feel that is too many byes and too few teams making the playoffs.
If you can please please please add a 7 team, 1 bye setting that would be great and help legitimize the idea of the 7 team, 1 bye playoff setting.

At the very least, there should be an option for 2 week playoff matchups. I have been playing on Yahoo for over 10 years and this is long overdue. Every year this basic feature is left out and disappoints everyone in our league.

There was an attempted solution in 2017. Go down about 7 posts.
