Re: Yahoo not extending the fantasy hockey season?
This decision actually makes a lot of sense to me.
Ideally they would extend for roto and not for head-to-head with playoffs.
my guess is that they had to or wanted to do an all or nothing for programming, and communication and practically reasons. My other guess is 80+% of Yahoo leagues are head-to-head (way more casual leagues then hardcore ones, especially on Yahoo).
Given how unfair it would be to extend the finals in head-to-head it was an easy call to not extend anything.
It would be nice if they gave GMs the option, but even that leads to a bag of worms where unscrupulous GMs pick and choose based on their teams roster.
Probably the right call given all the options.
