Originally posted by Don Cardi: As far as Yahoo knows, JustLou WAS the first team to clinch a playoff spot from our league. Because as far as they are concerned, we still have 8 teams in our league. So that's why they posted that JustLou's team has already clinched a playoff spot.
I understand that Yahoo thinks that we still have 8 teams and that's why they indicated that JL clinched a playoff spot, all I'm saying is that I don't see why any "congratulations" were called for.

Remember back when I was starting this league, and I posted that I would like to get 12 teams playing or not have a league? And someone( I won't say who ) here said " Why not have a league? We can play with 6 teams if we want to."
Yeah, I remember saying that, but what does that have to do with anything?
Of course, had we set up the league originally with only six teams, though (remember the original NHL? Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and New York), I presume that we would have had only four make the playoffs, not all six.

And why would you be surprised that there will be playoffs in this league anyway?.....Don't your other fantasy leagues have playoffs?
Hey, don't single me out and pick on me.
Apparently DMC was also unaware that there would be playoffs. And who knows who else didn't realize it?
I just found it strange that no mention was ever made of playoffs, when they would be, what the format would be, etc.
As far as our other fantasy games go, the only one we've played here that has had playoffs was Yahoo Fantasy Football, and with fewer than half the teams making the playoffs, that was the main topic of discussion once we got near the end of the season.
All the rest of the games were Salary Cap or Points Only, so there were no playoffs.
Speaking of which, you are all cordially invited to join our Yahoo Points Only (no playoffs ) Baseball League.
Tentative date for the live draft is Monday, March 20th, at 9:30 PM.
