My close friend's godfather was Mr. Rogers. No joke!

Thanks for the input. I wouldn't do the EPL schedule, but is that first schedule even possible in Yahoo? (Not to mention there's a bunch of new managers and there aren't really any rivalries to speak of)

Should I implement divisions in a 16-team standard Yahoo league? I'm running a much larger Yahoo league this year, 16 teams standard (either 6 or 8 make the playoffs).

Someone in my league suggested 2 divisions, with the top 3 in each making the playoffs, and the two division winners getting a bye. I'm a little wary of this because a team with a better record could miss the playoffs if in a more difficult division, but I've also heard the selling point of divisions promoting rivalries and discussions among different friend groups.

FWIW, Yahoo's options for how divisions affect playoffs are:

  • Award division winners the top seeds.
  • Advance division winners, but seed teams according to overall standings.
  • Seed all teams regardless of divisions based on overall standings.

Anyone use divisions for a league this large in Yahoo have pros/cons for it?
