Our league determines draft order for the following season based on the results of regular season and playoff outcomes. Our 11 year old league recently expanded from 10 to 12 teams.
As a way to prevent late season tanking by the lower seeded teams trying to get the first pick in the draft, we had decided to use the consolation bracket in our 10 team league to let the bottom 4 teams battle it out to determine the draft order, rather than use regular season standings.
When we switched to a 12 team league this year, we were shocked to learn that the consolation bracket teams had changed from the bottom 4 teams to the 4 teams that lost in the championship bracket.
My suggestion is that Yahoo allow commissioners the option to choose the rules of the consolation bracket, so that we can continue to use the 4 bottom teams in a consolation bracket rather than the default of having the 4 losing teams in an 8 man playoff go to a consolation bracket after losing.
