I don't know if there is a "set way". In one league with no reseeding, we do 1 meets the 4-5 winner. I think this is right. Set the seeds 1-4 ( 1 meets 4, 2v3 ) then add in the 5,6 games ( 3v5, 4v5 )

ETA: Reseed. Its the right way to do it.

I believe it is more common for the #1 seed to face the 4/5.

There is no real answer on who should, except that the #1 seed should face the team proscribed in your rules.

IF your rules are so incomplete as to not stipulate who the #1 seed should face, THEN your rules are pretty toasty.

It'd be hard to imagine that the rules go so far as to clearly stipulate that there will be a set bracket with no re-seeding, yet somehow fail to mention how the bracket should work.

Take the opportunity (broken rules) to impose the best solution: RESEED.

Not reseeding after the first round is pretty illogical.

Why? Most everyone tournament on the planet does not reseed after the first round.
 
Would normally be the 4/5 winner....BUT I would opt to give the #1 seed their choice of who to play in PlayoffWeek 2....adds a lot of fun (and they often guess wrong)

 
Does the NFL reseed? The NCAA tourney reseed in basketball? Does the NBA reseed?

The answer is NO. The tournament is seeded before play begins and remains the same throughout.

If on a bye #1 seed plays winner of 4/5.

#2 seed plays winner of 3/6.

yes they do. football, hockey and basketball reseedsbaseball cant do either because there is only 2 teams left in each conference after the first round

ncaa tourney is the only one that doesn't (of the sports that i am familiar with)

whats the point of the #1 vs #2 seed if half the time you will get a worse matchup

Guilty. I commish a MFL FBG league that's in it's third year. The first two years all the playoff action was within each division (as it is in all the other leagues I play in). This year, we opted to go for a league-wide seeding playoff arrangement. In the changeover, I neglected to address the crucial issue of who should face whom in the playoffs. Moron. I guess I assumed that we would use a reseeding arrangement. Unfortunately/fortunately, yours truly was the number one seed. Even though reseeding was my intent, I thought it would look pretty crappy if I set myself up for the "easiest" route when I hadn't clearly stipulated it anywhere. So, instead of using reseeding, I decided to use MFL's automatic playoff setup package for six teams. Lo and behold, MFL's six team package has #1 facing the winner of #3 vs #6. To me, MFL is wrong here. It should be #1 vs the winner of #4 vs #5 and that's how I voted in this poll but, truly, I agree with those that have stated a reseeding preference in this thread and that's what I'll propose for my league next season.

Btw, #6 upset #3 in our league so I ended up facing the lowest seed when all was said and done.

Basketball does not - neither the NBA or NCAA. But as I said, most every other tournament on the planet does not reseed, i.e. all NCAA tournaments (men's women's basketball, cws, Mens Div 2 football, etc...)

NBA basketball

World Cup Soccer

All major pro Tennis tourneys

on and on...

in fact, I can only think of the NFL and NHL that do reseed, so I don't think you can argue that it is illogical...

I'm using MFL and the same thing has obviously happened. It's a 16 team league and the top 2 had a bye last week. I'll need to clarify the rules though, thanks for the advice everyone.

 
I voted for 4/5, but I would explore reseeding. While fantasy football isn't NFL, I have found that my owners like the fact that we use the NFL rules as much as possible.
