MFL users & commish-- can you explain this?? (1 Viewer)

In my 10 team league I run-- we have what i thought was a really simple 6 team playoff bracket.

Top 2 get byes, next 4 in seeded off of record w/ points as the tie breaker.

1st round looks like this:

1 Seed (10-3, high points, division champ)

2 seed (9-4, 2nd in points, division champ)

3 seed (10-3, 3rd in points, 2nd place in 1 seeds division)

4 seed (7-6)

5 seed (6-7, more points than 6 seed)

6 seed (6-7)

So the 3 seed wins, but the 5 seed upsets the 4 seed.

So the 4 remaining teams are:

1 seed, 2 seed, 3 seed, and 5 seed.

For some reason-- MFL has the semifinal matchups as 

1 seed vs 3 seed

2 seed vs 5 seed

Am I missing something here??

The only thing I can think of is that 1 & 3 are in the same division and 2 and 5 are in the same division? Like a conference final type of scenario??

Help!!!!

I'm not sure how MFL specifically works, but NFL.com does not re-arrange matchups based on who won. So in the NFL, the #1 seed would play the lowest seed team advancing to the Divisional Round. On NFL.com, the brackets are pre-determined. That sounds like it's the same situation with MFL. Think of it like the NCAA Basketball Tourney.

You can specify who plays who.  You have to manually adjust.  I assume you want the highest seed to play the lowest seed?

You have to reseed on MFL manually

Go to Week 15 and switch the top two seeds.  You probably have Seed 1 playing the winner or Game 1, and Seed 2 playing the winner of Game 2 (or vice versa).  Switching them will fix your problem.

The answer is that MFL doesn't know how a properly-seeded bracket works.  Open a support ticket with them, and hopefully when enough of us do this they will fix their ####.

In the meantime, you have to fix the seedings manually.

It's a real treat when you have 2 conferences with 2 divisions each, and you want to have each conference seeded 1-4 independently.
