  • PLAYOFF(NOT STANDINGS)TIEBREAKERS

    I'm in two league on CBS where the higher seed is a 6.5 pt. favorite so there is no possibility of a tie. I don't see anything here on Yahoo. As of now, it seems regular-season tiebreakers prevail. Maybe a note will appear prior to Week 14 beginning. Does anyone who is not in their first season like me have an answer? Thanks!

      This article explains how playoff ties are broken in Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.

      Resolution

      In the event that a Fantasy playoff game ends in a tie, the deadlock is broken using the following system:

      #1 Winning percentage against this opponent during the regular season

      #2 Playoff seed

      How is winning percentage determined?

      Head-to-Head Standard leagues

      The winning percentage is based on individual stat category wins and losses, and not matchup wins and losses. (A tie is worth a half win or 0.5, and a half loss or 0.5)

      Example: Team A and Team B played each other three times during the regular season.

      - In Matchup 1, Team A won 9-3-1.
      - In Matchup 2, Team B won 6-4-3.
      - In Matchup 3, Team A won 7-5-1.

      Team A had 20 stat category wins vs. Team #$%$ 14 stat category wins during the regular season, with 5 ties.

      Team A's winning percentage would be .577 (20 wins + 2.5 for ties = 22.5 / 39 total).

      Head-to-Head One-Win and Head-to-Head Points leagues

      The tiebreaker is the matchup win percentage against this opponent during the regular season. (Not stat category wins)

      All Head-to-Head Fantasy Football leagues are Head-to-Head Points leagues.

      Example: Team C beat Team D, 3 out of 4 times during the regular season for a .750 win percentage.

      It is not possible for a custom league commissioner to deviate from this tiebreaking system.
