Can you guys explain to us how playoffs work, when they start, and how many teams enter?

All Head-to-Head Leagues must participate in fantasy playoffs beginning on Monday, March 27. The playoff systems will be the same for all Public and Custom Leagues, and will follow the structure detailed below.

Championship Bracket:
Week One
Bye: First Place and Second Place
P1: Third Place vs. Sixth Place
P2: Fourth Place vs. Fifth Place
Week Two
P3: First Place vs. Winner of P2
P4: Second Place vs. Winner of P1
Fifth Place Game: Loser of P1 vs. Loser of P2

Weeks Three & Four
Championship Game: Winner of P3 vs. Winner of P4
Third Place Game: Loser of P3 vs. Loser of P4



Consolation Bracket:
Week One
Bye: Seventh Place and Eighth Place
C1: Ninth Place vs. Twelfth Place
C2: Tenth Place vs. Eleventh Place
Week Two
C3: Seventh Place vs. Winner of C2
C4: Eighth Place vs. Winner of C1
Eleventh Place Game: Loser of C1 vs. Loser of C2

Weeks Three & Four
Seventh Place Game: Winner of C3 vs. Winner of C4
Ninth Place Game: Loser of C3 vs. Loser of C4



If you are in a Custom League with less then 12 teams, the system will work the same, except that all teams will receive byes until there are enough teams to fill all of the spots for a given week.

Playoffs are only for Head-to-Head Leagues and, regardless of size of your league, no more than six teams will ever participate in the championship bracket.

Additionally, the fantasy playoffs do not include any real-life NBA playoff contests.

And, keep in mind that players on teams that do not make the fantasy playoffs or are eliminated from the fantasy playoffs are not released back to the Available Players pool.
