Playoff Structure

[Steelersfan]

A hot topic has been brought up on the forum concerning playoff seeding so I thought this was the best place to let the voices of the DLF community be heard.

Should the fantasy playoffs resemble the NFL playoffs in which the highest seeded team always plays the lowest seed throughout the playoffs?

Should the brackets be predetermined throughout the playoffs with no reseeding?

Let your thoughts be heard!

All the leagues ive been in have done it NCAA Final Four bracket style, and ive been maybe the biggest voice in trying to have it changed, yet its been voted to stay as is the last couple times. One of the perks of being the #1 seed should be to earn having to play the higher seeds on the way to the championship game, ive seen too many 8 seeds winning their game vs #1 seed and having to then face a 4 or 5 seed in which there is maybe a couple game difference in total record. I just feel if you just skated in as the last seed, you should have the hardest road to the championship game IMO.

Good topic, as this just came up today in another forum as well.

Not re-seed. Here is a pic of my main league's playoffs w/out re-seeding (no edits made). 12-team dynasty, 6 teams make playoffs w/ top 2 having first-round bye. This way, as you can see from the screenshot, the matchups are balanced properly throughout. Human intervention doesn't need to screw it up. Note that this league is hosted on ESPN.



Go Goodfellas!!!!

Wow, I thought there would be a lot more "reseed" votes...We don't reseed in any of the leagues that I am in but the topic has come up.

It's definately easier on us commissioners not to reseed...
