Screwed out of playoff spot?

I feel like I got screwed out of a spot and I'm coming here to bitch about it.
I was the 4 seed in playoffs. It's an ESPN league and was set up in 2 divisions. ALL season it's shown top 4 overall as playoff spots. 2 weeks ago, the commish told me that the rules for the league are usually top 2 in each division. He took a league vote and they all voted to keep it. Again, this is 10 weeks into the season. Everyone is biased.
I'm 8-5 and the team getting in over me is 6-7.
I'm just going to be an a-hole and bench my whole team for the consolation game this week and inform the commish that I won't be playing with them again.
What do y'all think?

I don't think that will hurt them. It was a consensus that's how they play though. You now know for next year or just dont join again.

Should base it off points scored

Yeah - I was number one in points scored and points against.

This is how they do the playoffs every year?

That's bullshite. Do you know these people?

I know how you feel. I long to be in a league where the commish acts as an impartial mediator instead of an emperor. My commish just expanded playoffs from 4 to 6 teams to get himself in.

It's not a money league. But we all know each other so it's still competitive.

This is my first year in the league. He said it was like that before. I know them but I'm a fill in for the league. I think I'll ask them to expand to 6 teams and see what happens.

They didn't screw you. It sounds like they've always done it that way. You should be pissed that they didn't tell you until now but you didn't get screwed out of a playoff spot.

Sounds like a reasonable response.

I suspect that your league was 2 division winners plus 2 wild cards make playoffs, which often ends up being the top 2 in each division. So I suspect they are confused in that aspect. Most espn standard leagues are 2 division winners and 2 wild cards(no matter division).
The 3 playoff teams besides you are obviously going to vote for the lesser team to be in the playoffs, and so is the lesser team. Them plus you is half the league. The other half isn't affected either way so they are probably disinterested. I don't think a vote is fair because everyone is either biased or doesn't care. How hard would it have been to go into league settings at the beginning of the season and set it how it's wanted? They had it at top 4 all year, it should stay that way. Changing rules midstream is a major no-no in my book.

This is exactly my point.
It's actually top 2 in each division. I'm in Division A and there are 2 teams with a 9-4 record. I'm 8-5. Division B has 1 team with a 10-3 record and the 2nd place team is 6-7. The 6-7 team in that division is going to the playoffs ahead of me.

I guess I don't understand how they're changing the rules when they did this last year, the year before that, etc. Like I said earlier, I would be pissed that I wasn't told but they didn't change the rules to bounce you out.
ETA: As a matter of fact, they voted to not change the rule.

I've never understood the point of divisions in fantasy. Why not put everyone in the same division, then top 4 or 6 teams, depending on 10 or 12 team league, respectively, get into the playoffs. W/L record is the seeder and total points for is the tie breaker.

This is an area I agree with Matthew Berry's rants. If your league doesn't have a written set of rules, you go by what's on the league page. Period. Voting to change rules midstream is the height of bullshite.

I guess it's just another way to work a tie breaker, but I agree that it seems like a pretty arbitrary to work that to me. At least points is based off of merit.

This. Ask for money back. Find new league.
