Playoffs

Previous | Next

All Head-to-Head Leagues must participate in fantasy playoffs beginning on Monday, March 26. The playoff systems will be the same for all Public and Custom Leagues, and follows 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
Week 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
Week Three & Four Seventh Place Game: Winner of C3 vs. Winner of C4
Ninth Place Game: Loser of C3 vs. Loser of C4

If you're in a Custom League with less then 12 teams, the system works the same, except that all teams 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 ever participate in the championship bracket.

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

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