Playoffs - Two week playoff matchups
This feature would allow commissioners to implement 2 week long playoff matchups for their league.

We need better tiebreakers. Having the only option be head to head is ridiculous. That is so flawed compared to higher seed.

We start week 20, works perfectly

C'mon Yahoo Engineering group! This is a very basic drop-down function for users and is something that significantly improves the functionality for commissioners and managers alike. We need this for this season or else we will be forced to go back to ESPN next year.

I've been commissioning leagues for over 10 years and am tempted to abandon Yahoo! in favour of Fantrax on all of my leagues next year if 2 week finals (at least) aren't introduced.

I would be happy with a two week final but two week series would be even better. In a two week span the best team will almost always win, one week luck can still **** over the guy who has the better team. When the final results are determined by the last few weeks it is important to have them be as fair as possible

There needs to be an option for 2-week playoff matchups. Managers work hard to make the playoffs, and single week matchups late in the season when teams are resting many all-star players (to prepare for actual playoffs) are not representative of a fantasy team's strength.
ESPN certainly has the functionality. They allow leagues to start playoffs earlier (ie. well before the time of the year when CHI starts resting some big name players for playoffs), such as week 18.
TLDR: Single week playoff format at the end of the season in H2H leagues doesn't reward managers who have built the best teams, it rewards the managers who own hot players on weaker teams trying to finish strong for contracts in the offseason!

you should have the option of top team in each division make it.
for example if you have 14 team 2 divison 7 teams in each division with 8 teams making the playoffs.
You should be able to make it that top 4 teams in each divison make it rather then 1st seeds make it and then its overall standings

In my league the consolation rounds mean nothing and no one pays attention to it. The option of turning it off is a great idea. Thanks

If you don't add this feature this year then our league is moving to fantrax.

Yeah last year when you advertised 2 wk h2h finals, all the GMs in my leagues were excited then your service didn't deliver. There's a big movement in one of my leagues to switch to fantrax now. Anyways, this needs to happen!

Allow a losers playoffs as an option in custom leagues. Teams that don't make the playoffs are seeded into a tournament to determine the lower standings and ultimately the last place team. This tournament would work as a negative of the actual playoffs such that the worse team would be left "winning" the losers playoff. Categories would be counted as a negative, eg the person with the most goals actually loses the categories, so the player who did the worse in the match up moves on, and the better player makes it out (you win to exit this playoff). Last player in the losers playoff is crowned the last place team. This would keep all teams active through the whole season as now all teams have something to play for.

The last week in the NHL is a joke!

Would be great to see Yahoo adapt the option to fully customize playoff brackets like other sites such as Fantrax and ESPN. Even having some sort of option to choose from rather than just division winners getting top seed.

I've got two words for you,
"Cooooome on".
Seriously though, it's a very important feature. -

Yahoo!!! Here's some advice, don't claim a new feature of a 2 week final and then take it away right before the playoffs. Everybody clearly wants a 2 week final as it gives a more accurate assessment of the better team. I don't get how yahoo is "unable" to offer a 2 week final. Get it together. And please let us know if this can't be done so that we can move our league to a service that isn't "unable" to do this. Reiterating what someone else already said, ESPN's fantasy service is looking more and more enticing with their 2 week finals.

This is a fantastic idea that needs to be implemented for 2016-2017. Stop ignoring it!

Seriously, make a move on this already, Yahoo.
Leagues use divisions for a reason, and throwing that out the door when playoffs come is ridiculous.
What's so hard about adding a "divisional playoff brackets" option to the league settings page? Leagues should have the option to prevent divisions/conferences from meeting in the playoffs before the finals (the way the *actual* NHL playoffs operate).
