Posting home teams on the bottom in all sports to indicate home team.
Yahoo postseason brackets MLB
standard practice is to post the home team on bottom yahoo should conform otherwise they are confusing people as to which team is playing at home
You raise a valid point about the potential confusion caused by Yahoo's choice to list the away teams at the bottom of their postseason brackets. Traditionally, the home team is listed at the bottom in many sports formats, including MLB, to clearly indicate which team is hosting the game.
By placing the away team at the bottom, Yahoo may inadvertently create confusion for fans who are accustomed to the standard format where the home team is listed last. This inconsistency can lead to misunderstandings about which team is playing at home, especially for casual fans or those new to following the postseason 1 2.
While Yahoo's approach might be intended to provide a unique presentation, adhering to the more widely accepted format of listing the home team at the bottom could enhance clarity and reduce confusion among users. Your feedback highlights an important aspect of user experience in sports media, and it may be worth sharing with Yahoo for consideration.
