Schedule/Scoring Formats - Customizable weekly doubleheaders.
This format will allow commissioners to schedule 2 matchups in any given week. These matchups would be against other league members. Currently, this is not available for commissioners.

The scheduling algorithm is terrible. We have some teams scheduled to play 7 times. You need to either fix this feature to balance the schedule correctly, or allow the Commissioner to edit both games . I tried inputting all the first games hoping to get a better random schedule, we at least got it to some teams only playing 4 times. It would have been nice to have a balanced schedule.

I am assuming Yahoo asking $25 for this option with a result is unfair scheduling (play one owner 6x and other owners 0x) was not the intent!! A simple programming change of playing each owner a minimum of 2x and maximum of 3x would fix this. Or you gotta allow commissioner to change the entire schedule.

I've purchased the Commisioner add-on for $25 this year in fantasy football. My main attraction is being able to play 2 opponents a week. I am not able to edit the second matchup in the league schedule. I need this feature. I have a 12 man league, we playy 11 regular season matchups, x 2 each manager should play the other manager 2x in the year. Some teams currently in my new schedule play another team 6x in the season. Help!

In the Edit Schedule allow commissioners the ability to schedule 1st and 2nd opponent for each week to balance out the games in each division.

Yahoo now allows Doubleheaders.....but only if you pay the $25 to upgrade using the Commissioner PLUS option.

I have a 12 team league. You can build a nice schedule. But your random 2nd opponent doesn't make sense. I ended up with 8 matchups between multiple opponents. I can share my schedule with you to show what it looks like for a 12 man league.

Can you make the 2 matchup a week, make schedule where everyone will play each other equal # of times?

This needs to be a feature. Other platforms like espn offer this

GP Sharlows comment is exactly right. It makes no sense that in an 8 man league with 2 opponents for 14 weeks, that all teams don't play each other exactly 4 times. To make it worse, even if I changed every game between A-G, it still had them playing 7 games as the second opponent with no way to change it. If this is not resolved before this season starts, I will be asking for a refund of my "Commissioner Plus" since the only reason we got it was so all teams could play each other 4 times. And we will be moving our Platinum leagues next year to ESPN or NFL fantasy. It was ridiculous to have to pay just for 1 or 2 features, especially if they do not work the way they should.

glad you implemented the weekly double headers. however, your scheduling algorithm is brutal. in our 8 team, 14 week regular season schedule, each team should play each of the other seven opponents four times. perfect - two games a week, 28 games alt together.
except you have some sort of random scheduling where one team plays another 10 times and most of the other teams twice! What the ****?
You won't let commissioners set it up, so I will gladly send you the algorithm for an eight team, 14 week schedule that will allow all eight teams to play two opponents a week, and each opponent exactly four times during the season, without any weekly conflicts.
Where can i send it? -

I have been playing fantasy football for 44 years and have been using Yahoo for the last 11 years. As the commissioner of over 100+ leagues over the past 44 years, my goal is to create a league that is fun and operates as close to the NFL as possible One thing that I started using was doubleheaders, this allows us to play a full schedule, just like the NFL. I have 8 12-team leagues and we play a 17-game schedule, we only need 2 doubleheaders since we only have 4 teams that make the championship bracket of the playoffs. I have been asking for you guys to implement doubleheaders for the last 5 years and nothing has happened. I run the most unique format in the country....we play 8 different leagues rolled into one overall champion. We play 6 different styles of fantasy football and the winner of this league can claim to be in the top 1% of all fantasy league players. Please add doubleheaders, you will find out just how popular they will become.

This would def be cool. I think double header vs league median is more important though

This would be absolutely incredible. I saw this feature on other platforms a few years back and was so upset when I found out Yahoo did not offer this.
This format still allows you to do the traditional H2H which everyone loves rather than go to a highest points wins type league or a rotisserie.
The more customization you guys allow on your platform will create for a much better product/service.

But also pls add the ability to schedule ACTUAL DOUBLEHEADERS where a team has MORE THAN 1 FANTASY MATCHUP in a week. This can't be too much effort for you Yahoo, as the scoring module would be the same, just more of the existing Source Code.
This is the primary reason i don't move some of my leagues to Yahoo.

Commissioners should be able to change tiebreaking procedures. 3 teams finished at 9-6 and because 1 team had a record week and gave him a huge point lead. It gave him the 3 seed over the other two 9-6 teams despite him being 0-3 against those two teams and having a worse division record then both the 4 and 5 seeds. Our league would like to switch to a format like the NFL uses and total points should be the last tie breaker over head to head and division record even for the wild cards not just the division winners.

Can you please include the option for 2 or more head to head matchups each week? I will be switching to a different platform if this isn't changed, many other places allow for multiple weekly matchups.

Agree! allow at least two games per week to take out the randomness of getting unlucky in a matchup. I Love Yahoos site and don't want to switch to one that allows it.

Yes please.
We purpose do not have the champion week the last week of NFL season so that if teams rest their stars. So we have a 13 week regular season with divisions. It would be nice to have where two weeks we can have a second game so that we play each team out of the division once and all of the division teams twice

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. -

THIS! THIS! THIS!!!
Please allow leagues to play doubleheaders on their schedule. Either against two different teams, or against one team and the league scoring average for the week!
