Perhaps it's a matter of changing the approach of how the game views the playoffs. If there was a post-season schedule file of sorts, then it'd only have to follow that schedule and byes shouldn't be problematic. Theoretically, that is.

You have far more knowledge of how to go about doing it than I do, I'd just ultimately like to have a blank to enter any value on the league options screen for the number of playoffs teams- from there I suppose it would lead to a drop down of playoff formats (which would potentially be limited by the value entered) followed by series length (or something to do with group play if I can dream) and so on. I just didn't see it being possible without byes being possible, my guess on the bye being possible was the "ghost" team.

Either way I look forward to whatever Markus can add with flexible playoffs.
