I made the playoffs in one league...finished 5th in my other league and missed the playoffs by PF. I am wondering how the consolation bracket works...is it possible for me to move from 5th to 10th if I lose both of my two games? I am having a difficult time understanding how it works based on what it looks like on my phone. TIA

If I miss the playoffs it's never because of a PF tie. Come on dude you gotta be better than that. I've missed the playoffs before but I'm usually 1st or 2nd in league in PF and miss the playoffs somehow.

I had a rough year drafting DeMarco Murray and LeSean McCoy back to back did not work out as I had hoped and I had some really rough weeks. Huge bummer of a year

It is a competitive yearly league with my buddies from high school and we select our draft position based on where we finish, so it still matters for me unfortunately.

In our consolation bracket, the 7th seed doesn't play the 12th seed.

The matchups are 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12. No clue why.

That is the way ours are too and that is what is tripping me up...

If it actually means something, the commissioner should edit the bracket matchups like the normal playoffs (7&8 byes, 9-12, 10-11) and manually change it each week as needed. The ESPN system is useless for consolation.

It's a ladder system...basically if you win you move up a "rung" for next weeks matchup and if you lose you move down. They put the higher seeds at the top so that you have to lose multiple times to move down to the bottom

Basically, wherever you end up at the final week is your place in the league. Weird system for sure

The consolation brackets should not matter for next year's seeding. If you do not make the playoffs then your seeding should be frozen after week 13. Though this should be a question you ask your league and not TexAgs.
