When using yahoo's free leagues, can the commish edit playoff matchups? Would much rather be able to handle tie-breakers at my discretion, rather than yahoo breaking ties by their rules.

Cmon guys, this is the best place for fantasy info on the interwebs, someone's gotta have the answer for me.

yes, as the commish you can alter the points scored. so by increasing or decreasing a teams points, you can change the outcome of the game

Thank you for a reply.To clarify, I'm talking about playoff schedule. Can commish edit who plays who? I'd rather control the tiebreakers my way than some Yahoo default.

Yahoo Playoff Seeding Options

If your league uses divisions you can choose how teams are seeded for the playoffs using these three options:

Division winners advance and are assigned top seeds: The winners of each division will advance to the playoffs as the top seeds and the overall top division winner will be the #1 seed. All other playoff teams will be determined by overall standings regardless of division results.

Division winners advance but are seeded according to overall standings: The winners of each division will advance to the playoffs and all other playoff teams will be determined by overall standings. Playoff seeds will be determined by overall standings regardless of division results.

All teams seeded according to overall standings: All playoff seeds will be determined by overall standings regardless of division results.

If your league does not use divisions teams will be seeded according to overall standings.

That's it.

That's it.

and no ability to change it?

That's it.

and no ability to change it?

Yes. No Flexability. Settings options above are straight from the League Setup Rules.

However, as the Commissioner, you can edit team points for all previous weeks. So, by editing team points, you should be able to get the matchups you wish. However, understand that if you are not clear with all the league managers as to why you are doing this, what happened to Marie Antoinette will be peanuts compared to what they will want to do to you.

It's also worth mentioning that yahoo playoffs work off of a fixed bracket, not the highest seed vs. the lowest seed every round.

Thanks guys, that's exactly what I was looking for. Didn't even think of the fixed bracket, that's another wrench in the plans.

I want to control tie-breakers, but also run the playoffs NFL style, not bracket style. Does ESPN's free league allow this?
