Custom Playoff Formats

Love the announcement of FHM

when its says
"More Customization for Custom Leagues: We've made the custom league setup much more flexible - you can now add as many leagues as you want, all of them fully customizable. The playoff editor also has a new custom configuration option in addition to the pre-set default systems."

For the playoff editor, is it for all of the playoff formats? I know playoff formats with 12 teams only had 1 option in FHM6. Can we expect more in FHM7, or even like 10 or 14 team playoff formats?

You can select one of the old pre-set options, or choose an editable format, but those are limited at the moment to 2-4-8-etc. numbers of playoff teams. I think I've worked out a way to implement odd numbers of teams, but that's going to require some more coding, I'm hoping to get it into an update.

I do hope we'll get to see a 12-team NFL style playoff format included among those custom options some day soon, too. I can certainly appreciate the effort going into more flexibility with it, and being such a new feature, only fair to expect it'll get expanded on in time
