Customized Playoffs

PSUColonel · 04-25-2021, 07:24 AM

Am I missing something? The seeding always seems to show up with the number one seed at the number two seed. Is this backwards or is this the way it should be? It seems to be the case with all of the customizable playoffs.

If it's two home, three away, two home, it should read Seed #2 @ Seed #1.

As a workaround, you could always fix it in the schedule editor.

I always just change it manually, since that is a drop down menu. I agree that when you use that option, it seems to have the 1 seed @ the 2 seed when there are only two playoff teams.

Here's a customized playoffs question that I can't figure out. I have a fictional 28 team league, 4 divisions of 7 teams each. I want the top team in each division to get a bye, and have the the #2 and #3 team in each division play against each other in a best-of-three with the winner meeting the division leader that received the bye. This next round would be a best of 5 to determine the division champion. Then a re-seed with a best of 7, and then a league championship with a best of 7. I can't see how to make this possible with the customized playoff option. If anybody knows how to do this, could you provide a screenshot of the customized playoff screen with the proper settings? I would really appreciate it, as this is frustrating me to no end.

What you seem to be trying to do is a hybrid of fixed positions and re-seeding. Not sure you can do both. Best bet is to choose one path and manually change the matchups in the schedule screen to fit the other path later.
