I am in a 12 team league on ESPN. 6 teams made the playoffs starting from week 14-16. Team 1 and Team 2 had first round byes while the other 4 teams (Teams 3-6) were wildcards. Team 3 played Team 6 and Team 6 wonTeam 4 played Team 5 and team 5 wonNow to my knowledge the team with the lowest seed plays Team 1 and the second lowest gets to play Team 2. Which means Team 6 should play Team 1 and Team 5 should play Team 2. Correct?I checked ESPN and it has Team 6 playing Team 2 and Team 5 playing Team 1. Is this a mistake ESPN made? Do you think this is fair? What do you guys think?. As for Team 5 and Team 6, they both ended up with a 7-6 record and they split wins in Head to Head games. Team 5 does have more points accumulated over the season then Team 6, which would solidy my thinking. Should I change the playoff bracket this week?
I think in most fantasy sports, the bracket is set and that's it. You're correct about how in the NFL, they re-adjust the bracket to make the lowest seed play the highest seed. But I don't think that any fantasy sports leagues do it that way. What do you mean should I change the bracket? Are you the commish? Do you have the power to change this? If so, maybe ask the players in the league and take a vote. It's kinda late in the game to making changes like this, but maybe they'll be okay with it.
