I switched my league this year to the 7 team playoff since we have 14 teams. We have a dedicated group and use the consolation bracket to determine the top picks for the following years draft. However, yahoo doesn't have a consolation bracket for 7 team playoff format. I feel this is an easy fix and should be offered given I had to pay for a the Yahoo+ options to do it and I couldn't even have a consolation bracket for my league.

The way my league is formatted (10 people), the top 4 make the playoffs and the next 4 play in the consolation tournament. That leaves two teams left. I would like them to play each other during championship week to decide 9th vs 10th place.

Locking eliminated teams doesn't block all non-playoff teams from making roster moves, since it considers Consolation bracket teams as still in contention. This setting needs to be improved to allow blocking of consolation teams once playoffs start.

Consolation brackets are only available for 4 team and 6 team playoffs. Please give the option for commissioners to enable the consolation bracket in scenarios where there are different playoff sizes such as 7 teams.
In my specific scenario, I have a 14 team league and the playoff bracket contains 7 teams. This would easily allow for a 6 team or 7 team consolation bracket. -

Allow for 8 teams to make playoffs, but have top 2 seeds get a bye in the 1st round.

Currently Yahoo shows teams that have clinched a playoff spot with an asterisk. Yahoo should also show teams that are eliminated from the playoffs with another type of indication.

Give us an option for a 10 team playoff from weeks 14-17. Seeds 7-10 have a play-in for the 7th and 8th seed, then playoffs resume as a 8 team playoff after that. 14 team leagues would benefit greatly from this.

Our 14 team league does a play-in for seeds 7-10 for the 7th and 8th spot for playoffs. It's very difficult as the commish to do this without adjusting scoring and schedule in wk 14. Having a 10 team playoff format would be easy for a programmer to setup for weeks 14-17. No one wants to have playoffs go into week 18, because teams rest players. If the only choice is to pay for this to happen, our league would just switch platforms, but we'd like to stay on Yahoo.

Please add the ability for leagues to have a 5 team playoff bracket with only the top seed receiving a bye week. Many 10 team leagues would appreciate this since 6 teams is too many and 4 teams can be too few.

I also have the same question as Jeremy, a 5 team playoff for 10 team leagues would be great. I would buy commissioner plus to get that option.

Could there be an option for 5 teams to make the playoffs so only the #1 seed gets a first-round bye?

Is it possible to expand the number of teams allowed in playoffs for head to head leagues? More than 8?

If a league is paying the premium for Commissioner Plus, they should not be subject to losing any features if at all possible. My 16 team league adopted the 7 team playoff, but were disappointed to find out that there is no 7 team consolation bracket for our 8-14 seeds. I understand most leagues are 10-12 team leagues making the consolation tricky if the playoff has 7 teams, but at least 14 team and 16 team leagues should be able to have the 7 team consolation. And/or all leagues have setting to customizable consolation to a 4, 6, or 7 team consolation depending on league size and/or preference.

Give commissioners ability to make a 10 team playoff bracket, starting in week 14. League's with 14+ teams would benefit. Right now, I have to make week 14 a "skipped week" because of NFL bye weeks and being a 14 team league, we play everyone 1 time (13 games). Rather than it being skipped, it'd be fun for large leagues to have a "wild card play-in" round with seeds 7 thru 10. Seeds 1 thru 6 would be on bye first round. Would look exactly like a 10 team single elimination bracket. Either do this or give commissioners ability to put teams on bye week in the schedule customizer.

I’m in the 2nd year of running a 20 team keepers league with 4 divisions and I’m looking for a fair way for teams to have an opportunity to reach post season without lopsided division completion or lack of strength of schedule being a factor
