How Do Fantasy Competition Playoffs Work?

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Every Fantasy Competition ends with a required two-week playoff period, which cannot be shortened or extended. Ambition seeds and schedules the playoffs automatically, so there's no bracket to build or adjust.

Who Competes in the Playoffs

The four competitors with the best regular season records advance to the initial playoff round. Records are ranked using the following factors, which are listed from most to least heavily weighted:

  • Number of wins

  • Fewest number of losses

  • Number of points scored

  • Number of points scored against them.

Playoff Schedule

  • Playoff Week 1: Seed 1 plays Seed 4, and Seed 2 plays Seed 3.

  • Playoff Week 2: The two winners play for 1st place, and the two losers play for 3rd place.

The other competitors compete in the Best of the Rest contest during those two-week playoff period.
