Playoff Reseeding (Read 128 times)

[Bobby]

I have always felt that if the 6th place team beats the 3rd place team in the first round, the round 2 matchups should be 1 vs 6 and 2 vs 4/5, not 1 vs 4/5 and 2 vs 6. The ability to implement this, now exists.

I just noticed this in Fantasy Football and now find it in Fantasy Baseball. I definitely will do it for next year and would have done it for this year without asking, if I had seen it weeks ago.

I would still like to do it for this year.

It has impact only if 6 beats 3.

If 6 beats 3, the following teams are affected:
1 plays 6 instead of 4 or 5.
2 plays 4 or 5 instead of 6.
4 or 5 play 2 instead of 1.
6 plays 1 instead of 2.

Fortunately the teams in 2nd thru 7th are close enough to not know where they will finish.

I would like to hear approval or disapproval from the teams in 2nd thru 7th on reseeding.

Rockies approve

This is the natural order of things

[joecap]

Pirates agree, even if I'm the one who could face the consequences this year.

[Deleted]

Rangers disagree for this year and approve for next year. This is how we have changed all rules here and it shouldn't change

[bosox]

I never noticed that before.
It makes sense and and is the way it should be so i agree.

[fidoz]

I don't ever plan on making the playoffs so I abstain.

[hawkeye5]

I agree. (that Cory will never make the playoffs)

[Deleted]

I am good with implementing the rule for 2012.

[Deleted]

I have no problems with the change for 2012.

[bosox]

With that anchor tied to your ankles right now 2012 is when it will matter
for you,

[Deleted]

Just want to play the top seed! ;D

That's only if I even make it

[Bobby]

Because of the tightness of 2nd thru 7th, I didn't think there would be an objection.

It's a meaningless issue when the 3rd place team beats 6th anyway.

Since there was objection to it, it will not be done until 2012.

Pussies.

C'mon Bobby - I have always valued you as a Commish who is fair and consistent and you have never before changed the rules or procedures in the middle of a season. The Rangers objection was spot on.

[Bobby]

I was fair. I was not doing it unless all involved were on board.
50% chance it won't matter anyway.

I can still can them pussies. Gotta win your matches anyway.
