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.

i agree with anthony d'amico, we do the same thing, just let us plug in the teams for the playoff spots. I hate going through and changing everybody's record. The playoff seeding is by points after you make the playoffs (which is by record and last two spots is for the wildcard spot with most points remaining), please respond yahoo

As a manager of a team I was recently involved in a tie and I am in a league that utilizes fractional point scoring. When I went to the commissioner I was told that there was no way to change the tie breaker system and a tie was a tie. Based upon what I am reading ties can also go to a tiebreaker format that includes bench scoring with the + .01 format. How does the commissioner set that up?

I'd like to add on to this. We have a unique playoff structure where the wildcard is the highest scoring team that wasn't in the top 2 in their division, regardless of record. Other sites have let us just plug teams in to their respective playoff spots. I'm not sure why this isn't allowed.
If this isn't addressed I don't think we'll be using yahoo next year.

This would be great, as my league does "wildcards", awarding the last 2 playoff spots to most points of the teams that didn't clinch. We also reseed based on points and I hate to have to manipulate the records to do this.

Ties happen in the NFL, why not fantasy, just think how ****** you would be if you had eight guys finish with 10 points across the board in week one and the opposing team had Manning finish with 45 points in his big game against Baltimore and the rest of the 7 players had 5 each. You lose because your tie breaker was total points by starting QB when clearly you drafted much better and have a more consistent team but now you're 0-1. Ties are part of the game.

I agree 100%. The two week playoff format is what my league assumed was an option because we have seen it on every other site. Please try and make it a possible option before the season ends. This would honestly be a reason to not return to yahoo next year.

This would be great. I was really hoping to allow my league to play the championship in week 16 and 17. Only playing week 17 sucks (to many players benched), but not playing fantasy football the last week of the season sucks too.
Please update it so we can allow customizations on the playoff weeks!

I was just about to change my playoffs to 7 and then noticed it doesn't exist. This should be a playoff option. It gives the regular season winner a clear advantage. Could you please add this option.

Commish can manually set draft order, so why not just do that?

We used to have a consolation round --- where did it go? Bring it back! My first year, I was in a Yahoo league with 12 teams, but only four playoff spots. I won the consolation round, and remember that that was a whole lot more fun than having nothing to do for the last weeks of the season. This is fun --- keep things in that make it fun!

Agreed...
I could settle for this. My true wish would take too much code. -

I agree it would be good to have some other option for a tiebreaker if the league prefers not to ever allow ties to happen.

With fractional scoring ties are almost impossible, but if they happen its not a big deal, the tie could end up being a tie breaker for your play-offs. The NFL has them so why shouldn't fantasy sports

I agree totally, it's not just a fantasy football problem, it's a fantasy everything problem, ties are stupid have a tie breaker option so we don't have to deal with this. Honestly, I can't believe you guys need users to tell you this, why do you think most leagues have come up with ways where ties aren't possible?

Which league's scoring would you use? What if the same player is on both teams?

A fully customizable playoff schedule would be great. You give us the option to fully customize the regular schedule, why not the playoffs?
Most other fantasy sites allow this already. We've been with Yahoo for 12 years, this has always been an issue. We've had to manage the schedule from the message board and notify everyone who they are playing each week. It's time for a change! -

You do realize that the commissioner can adjust the scoring manually. So if you want to add bench scoring as a tiebreaker, the commish can give +.01 points for that.

Nice idea, but what if the teams in the consolation bracket are all non-active managers? If that's the case, then the league commish should be able to allow or disallow the winner of the consolation bracket to be awarded top pick in the following year's draft, or better yet, to select draft position based on the previous season's reverse order of standings. But yes, I agree, it is a fantastic idea nonetheless.

Simple solution for something that should already be in place. Yahoo needs to relinquish more control to commissioners. YAHOO, PLEASE FIX THIS NOW!

Exactly right. This is BS. I had an idea for a 14 team league with no divisions and a 13 game schedule where everybody plays everybody once. Tie breaker is head to head matchup there would be no season splits. If two teams finished 11-2 at the top the team who won the head to head matchup would get a bye as the #1 seed and the other 11-2 team would be the #2 seed and play the #7 seed.
