Playoff Setup (1 Viewer)

Maybe I'm wrong but the commish in two leagues of mine (same commish) has set up the playoffs as such (12 team league with 6 playoff spots).

The #6 and #3 game winner plays the #1 seed, while the #4 and #5 game winner plays the #2 seed. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

I'm not sure there's a wrong way, but I think the best way is to have #1 seed play the worst remaining seed, and the #2 seed play the best remaining seed. Doesn't seem fair for the #2 seed to get a better matchup than the top seed.

The #1 seed should get to pick its opponent. It rewards them for having the best regular season, and it also ratchets up the trash talking.

OOOO!! I like that!!! Previously, we've had the highest remaining seed play the lowest remaining seed and so-forth, but I like the idea of picking your opponent. Adds a level of strategy (looking at matchups and such) and another reward for doing well in the regular season.I'm definitely going to suggest that for a rule change for next year!
