We have no problem tweaking seedings to make the actual playoff bracket work the way we want, but the issue is the consolation bracket:
The 13 & 14 seed drop off as the consolation mirrors the bye week format. Previous leagues it's always just put all 8 teams in and had four opening games with no byes.
Unfortunately, the consolation brackets are set up automatically and are dependent on the overall size of the league and the number of teams going into the playoffs. There could be teams left at the bottom not in a bracket. You can still have those teams set their lineups and you'll be able to see their total points, and you can opt to declare your consolation winners offline if you like. And when the new season activates, you can customize the draft order as needed if you use this outcome as part of your draft order. Please email me back if you have additional questions!

So we have following setup:
* 14 teams
* 2 Divisions
* 6 Playoff teams (3 each division)
* First round bye for division winners
* Remaining 8 team consolation bracket

Is there a way to get this to work?

Thanks, Tracy. Not ideal, but at least I know I'm not missing something.
