It has been awhile since I had a player on a team that has made the playoffs, but I remember correctly, players on playoff teams still get skill points to spend on those games. If that is the case, would it be much of a stretch to have a meaningless consolation bracket so all of the teams get an equal amount of skill points?
It would break down something like this.
First Consolation Game
#5 vs #8
#6 vs #7
#9 vs #12
#10 vs #11
Second Consolation Game
Winner of #5/#8 vs Winner of #6/#7
Loser of #5/#8 vs Loser of #6/#7
Winner of #9/#12 vs Winner of #10/#11
Loser of #9/#12 vs Loser of #10/#11
