Very quick suggestion:

I think it would be cool to have the option for a PL to have a best-of-three Final. Yeah, it would take up to three weeks to complete, but maybe if there's a really big PL somewhere with lots and lots of games, a best-of-three would be a nice option to conclude an epic PL rather than the sudden death final where a really long PL gets decided in only one game.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

It drags the PL ending. If you have 8 teams in PL playoff, guys left out of the playoffs are waiting too long for the next season anyway. I don't think we need to drag it out even longer.

A team can join a PL if they aren't in the playoffs. So they don't have to wait for the playoffs to finish, they can just join another PL league.

I think it is a horrible idea for any PL I want to be in, it would put me off the entire PL. However as we have previously discussed having more options is always better.

In fact in our PL we discussed at length having no finals at all, just an EPL style season, and it was a popular choice. Now we find that you have to have a final with at least 2 teams in it. A pity, 14 teams will waste a week and it makes the PL season longer than a real BB season.

I wouldn't want a best of 3 final, but the more options the better.
Best of 3 finals, enthusiasm always set at a particular number, gameshape always at proficient, no finals (EPL style), more time options, options to have teams in finals (so 8 vs 8) and so options to only play games against the opponents team is available, option to have 2 matches played on the same day so Private leagues run for half the time they normally would, and many other options would be great to have. MVP for private league, all star games for private league etc would really make things more enjoyable.

We are playing regional, seasonal league with different league levels and promotions/demotions. So it's not actually an option to join some other PL. We need every league to end before we can shuffle.

ah okay cool. Best of 3 as an option would still be nice though as I am sure there are many teams that would want it.

Would be nice to have NO PLAYOFF as an option.

The 1 game play-off wastes a week for those that want to just restart over again come the end of a league. I would imagine this is a more popular option to include than best of 3.

I 100% agree, +1 ball for you. This is EXACTLY the option we want for our PL. It is a waste of a week for 14 teams while 2 battle it out. They don't have it in the EPL, so why can't it be at least an option, we all agree options are good right?

As for a best of 3 series, I would not join a league that was doing this, but I support it as an option. (A smelly one.)
