This is essentially saying... 6 teams, 3 week playoff with 1st round byes for top 2 teams.

No it's not. Not unless you want the playoffs to last 6 weeks. That means playoffs would start week 11. Not happening.

We'll have to agree to disagree.
Nowhere in there did I see 6 week playoffs. So I'm to assume that it means get rid of the 2 week playoff thing which doesn't make sense to begin with. Only reason we're having this discussion is because of ESPN's format.

I don't want to be the THAT GUY either so lets just vote on the playoff system and payout when the time comes. It's cool.

I don't want to confuse anyone, but the bolded part isn't true. ESPN's standard league has 1 week playoffs. We can do that if people want. I changed it to 2 weeks/matchup in the playoffs because I think it is a more fair way to do it.

Only place I've seen that is through ESPN's ffl format. I may be ignorant to the fact but it's widely done that way through ESPN. Don't know if you have the option on other sites free leagues. You may have changed it but I don't know if any other place(s) even have the option to do so.

It is an option in Yahoo, CBS, etc. It is a manually changed setting, just like in ESPN. The default setting in ESPN is 1 week playoff matchups.

As I said earlier, I'm OK with either way, I just think 2 weeks gives you a better idea of who the better team really is. It does take some of the "excitement" out though, I'll give you that.

The 2-week playoff is NOT ESPNs standard format. Their default in a 12-team league is 3 divisions with Division Winners and 3 wildcards getting in and the top two Division Winners receiving byes in the first round

That's not bad.

Where do you see that default? In the custom league, I don't see anything that resembles that as a playoff structure.
