A consolation bracket has been added to football ahead of the upcoming football season.
This competition is for teams that do not make the playoffs, and is entirely optional. You can enable the consolation bracket in the Commish Tools, and you can see if your league has a consolation bracket in League Settings off the league home page.
If enabled, the consolation bracket works just like the playoffs - win and advance, lose and you’re out. For teams with 4-team playoffs and 8-team playoffs, the consolation bracket will contain 4 teams. For 6-team playoff leagues, the non-playoff 6-teams will make up the consolation brackets, with the first teams to miss the playoffs getting byes.
I plan on adding a basketball consolation bracket option closer to the start of the basketball regular season, and then a baseball consolation bracket option ahead of the 2025 baseball season.
Let me know if you have any questions or thoughts. Thanks as always for supporting Ottoneu Fantasy Sports
