I tried searching for this in the league settings. Does anyone know what happens in the event of a tie in a playoff matchup?
Our league doesn't use decimal scoring. (We had a regular season tie of like 115-115 one week.)

I'd say tie breaker are bench points

See if you can change to decimal scoring. Not sure why anyone wouldn't use it from the onset.
And google yahoo fantasy tiebreaker

Pretty sure its bench points.

I'm not the commissioner of this league, but I'll suggest it.
I am a commish of another yahoo league that uses hundredths of a point.
However, I can't seem to find any setting that says what the breaker will be. Was hoping someone knew.
Will continue to search.

Thanks.
Found an article googling that mentioned regular season head to head win percentage as the breaker.

First thing that popped up when googling. Wasn't hard to find
Description
This article explains how playoff ties are broken in Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.
Resolution
In the event that a Fantasy playoff game ends in a tie, the deadlock is broken using the following system:
Winning percentage against this opponent during the regular season
Playoff seed
How is winning percentage determined?
Head-to-Head Standard leagues
The winning percentage is based on individual stat category wins and losses, and not matchup wins and losses. (A tie is worth a half win or 0.5, and a half loss or 0.5)
Example: Team A had 50 stat category wins VS. Team B's 30 stat category wins during the regular season. 50 wins / 80 total stat categories equals a .625 win percentage.
Head-to-Head One-Win and Head-to-Head
Points leagues
The tiebreaker is the matchup win percentage against this opponent during the regular season. (Not stat category wins)
Example: Team C beat Team D, 3 out of 4 times during the regular season for a .750 win percentage.
It is not possible for a custom league commissioner to deviate from this tiebreaking system.

Yeah, had a playoff game on yahoo decided by playoff seed last year due to a tie, was pretty crappy for the guy who lost. This year I got everyone to switch to fractional scoring because of it.

I wonder if the commish can override these rules?
I run a touchdown only league and we set the tiebreaker rules before the season started. First tiebreaker would be highest point total for the season, followed by bench points during the head to head match. It's been a pretty fun season so far. The other two leagues I run have fractional points and would be very unlikely to end in a tie.

That is crappy.
I'm likely going to be the 1 seed in this league, so for now...
I'll talk to the commish and rally others to switch to fractional next year.
