Fantasy Football 12 team league. Need help setting up schedule

[Southernthunder 38]

As the title says. First time being a commissioner for a  12 teams and not sure how i want to set the schedule up. I don't want to do division. Thinking best 6 teams make the playoffs and the 1&2 seed get a bye. Should we do week 14(1&2 seed have bye), 15 and Superbowl week 17? If i do it like this that would mean everyone plays everyone one time and you would get a random team to play twice? Am i making this more difficult than it should?

14 week regular season.

Top 4 teams make playoffs.

Semifinals are Week 15 and Super Bowl is Week 16. You don't want to have a championship on Week 17 when many teams are sitting their players.

I prefer Top 6 making the playoffs in a 12 team league, maybe with a $ bonus for the 1 seed, the 1&2 seeds, or the top-scoring team in the league, as desired.

13 week schedule.

top 2 teams get first round byes.

3 vs 6  and 4 vs 5 in Week 14.

playoffs are weeks 14,15, & 16.

 

Don’t be playing any games of significance during Week 17.

This. 

I've always thought it's a good move to reward the best record for the season as part of the payouts. Fucking lame when you go 11-1 and then get bounced when some team has the game of their life.
