Make it an option to have playoffs for 2 weeks instead of 1 like other fantasy sites.
Many other sites allow 2 week playoff formats. This can allow stronger teams to win and not have a bad week or lucky week and win. Please consider this as an option next year. I might have to change league sites of this is not offered as others in my league want this option.
Thank you for this feedback. I will relay this to our product team for review.

Winner of the 5th place game... But..
Still listed as 6th place.
nooooooo.
Hello Wayne,
Thanks for providing your feedback.
If your league is currently in its final week for the playoffs, standings will not update until the results are final for the week. If you still see an issue after week 16 has concluded, please reach out at help.yahoo.com or @YahooFantasyCC on Twitter so you can provide your league number and we will look into it for you.
Thanks,

Plaoff question
Question?? My league is a points only league. When playoffs start will automatically convert into head to head right?? Also i only have eight teams in my league will everyone go to the playoffs??
Hi Steve,
Thanks for reaching out with your feedback.
There are no playoffs in Points Only leagues. Your league will not convert into a head-to-head league. If you want to have playoffs, you would need to reach out at help.yahoo.com to request support to make this change.
Thanks,

Commissioner able to make changes at all times
I need the Lock Eliminated Teams to NO. However since the playoff week technically started I am unable to change it. This should be a changeable option throughout. And of course the Yahoo help team never returns messages so they can maybe make this change after the fact.
Please reach out to our technical support team to provide more information that we can use to try and diagnose the cause of this issue. Via Twitter (@YahooFantasyCC) or email/chat at https://bit.ly/2ixvQ73

Allow Commissioners to hold a second draft or to empty rosters to Free Agency for teams eliminated.
You have a lock feature for teams. How about Once teams are eliminated, Allow for a second draft of just the players from teams eliminated from the playoffs or make them automatically free agents on a set date. Thus playoff teams can improve. I would request waivers but the worst playoff team could claim every good player. This would call for more attention from owners to the fantasy sports league and would make for more exciting finishes.
Thanks for the suggestion! We can pass this along to our product team.

MAKE PLAY-OFFS CUSTOMIZABLE
This is pretty simple - we have a 10 player league, but our play-off options are 4, 8 or 10. Why not 6 with the option to allow 1st and 2nd in regular season to get a bye in the first round of the play-offs? We've been asking for this for YEARS. Having only 4 is too little and 8 and 10 are ridiculous. "Everybody wins!" Fix it, please.
We offer 4, 6, and 8 team playoffs. I am not sure where you are seeing that we don’t offer a 6 team playoff and that we do offer a 10 team playoff. If you double check and this is the case, please visit help.yahoo.com and create an email ticket in order to contact us.

Options for Fantasy Playoffs
Provide more flexibility for playoff structure. For example, my league wants to do the first round as the top 2 highest scoring teams advance, rather than the two winners of head to head matchups. Right now, there is no way to structure this, and to my knowledge, no way I can go back after the week is over as commissioner and retroactively advance the two highest scoring teams regardless of their matchup outcome.
I think this is pretty basic and something that should be offered to commissioners looking for different options instead of the cookie cutter ones currently provided.
Thanks for the feedback! We will keep this in mind for future games.

Week 17 Pro Bowl
Give a league option to have a pro bowl on week 17. After the champion is crowned in week 16, you have a league wide game to see who scores the most points in week 17. High score wins the pro bowl.
Thanks for reaching out with this feature request. I’ll relay this to our product team.

Thank you for your feedback. I will pass this along to our Product team for further review.

Thank you for the feedback, we love hearing from our members. I will forward this to our product team for further review.

I need to change the number of playoff teams from 6 to 8. Maybe you can do this and I cannot find where to make the change.
How do you switch the number of teams that you want in the playoffs? I am looking to go from 6 to 8. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hey Mike, click Commissioner > Under League Settings, click ‘Edit League Settings’ > and then adjust ‘Playoff Weeks’ to your desired setting.
