Playoffs - Customizable consolation bracket.
This feature will allow commissioners to do the following;
- Turn the consolation bracket on or off
- Change the number of teams the league has in the consolation bracket
- Customize the seeding and teams in the consolation bracket.
Currently, the consolation bracket is only available for 4 and 6 team playoff format, it is not able to be turned on and off, and does not allow for the commissioner to change the number of teams in the consolation bracket or customize the teams/seeding.

Ya, the toilet-bowl is cool. I have been a champ before lol. Almost won it back-to-back. But anyways, there really needs to be a toilet-bowl. The whole league would appreciate it.

Fantasy football is suppose to be fun. All 12 teams should be in some type of playoff format.

Take the bottom 6 in a 12-team league and let them have a playoff!

Playoffs for losers are always fun. They should play for $5 lol.

Yes, the teams aren't in playoffs should compete in the toilet bowl. Also, have a way to set a prize amount. Like for cash leagues. 1st $50, 2nd $20, 3rd $10, and toilet bowl champ $5! something like that.

Wow this idea has been floated around since 2013? What additional feedback do you guys need? Yahoo should have already implemented this idea years ago.

Defiantly need toilet bowl and bye week options for top seeds in private cash leagues. also need scoring setting set to only change pre-draft only!

I too would like to throw a plea to the Yahoo gods for greater options for the consolation bracket.
As inspired by the "Sacko bowl", I manually run things as an inverse system, where the losers advance to the next week, last and second-to-last place receive byes the first round, and whoever loses three weeks in a row receives the loser's trophy. It would be awesome to have this sort of option for consolation, our league doesn't use the previous year's placement to seed the next, so the default consolation bracket has no stakes.

I would support an additional feature to set up a "Toilet Bowl" scenario by a Commisioner's manual match-up. We currently keep track of the scores on the message board for a 3 week total points stand-off for the worst place trophy. It is the last two teams of a 14 team keeper league that don't make the consolation side..

ALL teams should still be allowed to play during the playoff weeks. As a commissioner I hand out a loser trophy at the end of the year. We call it the toilet bowl, but Yahoo dose not allow the last teams to play each other, and in the final league standings, yahoo does not readjust the final spots at the bottom of the list. So what I am asking for is to PLEASE PLEASE allow the last place teams the chance to play each other. It still makes the game fun to the very end.

SACCO BOWL:
I have a 10 team league with 8 teams making the playoffs. I put together a 3 game series for the two last place teams during our regular playoffs and keep track of it on the commissioners board. We hand out a trophy to the last place finisher who loses the SACCO BOWL.I have found it motivates my players to play to the bitter end or reap the wrath of the other league members during the following seasons draft. =)

I agree with this and it would be awesome if it were implemented next season. Our league is getting serious and we're thinking of adding trophies including a last place trophy. It would be awesome if the last 2 teams fight it out during playoffs.

We need a "SACKO" game!

I agree with this fully. We have a 12 team league with 3 divisions where the division champs and a wildcard team play the playoffs in Weeks 15 and 16. Our team in dead last has to pay for trophy engraving(and shipping if necessary), so it would be nice to be able to have the bottom four teams play each other for the "privilege" of doing that. Currently my league has a consolation bracket, but it is for teams ranked 5-8. If that could be switched to 9-12, it would be perfect.

They can, on paper. They can set their "official" roster and give it to the commish. After the games, the commish and players can use the info on Yahoo! for the players to accumulate the scores.

Seriously....why can't the last two teams battle it out for last place. This is something I suggested last year and you said it was worth the look. With leagues like 'The League' around battling for the first and worst it makes sense. Do us all a favor and introduce the last place game for leagues. Thanks.....again

With the advent of the "Sacko Bowl" in the League, lots more leagues are doing this, and it would be nice to have customization of the tournament bracket to support it.

An 8 or 6 team championship bracket and a 6 or 8 team loser bracket (I play in a 14 team league)would allow those leagues with penalties for the league losers to have a meaningful end to their season. Can also help with next year's draft order and cement bragging rights for the off season. As an example, we do a round of golf in the spring where the bottom 4 have to caddy for the top 4, everyone else has to carry their own clubs but at least they get to play and not just caddy. The difference of playing to not lose instead of win, it adds a bit more competition and fun.

We do this manually, too - call it the "Toilet Bowl." Should be easy to do.
