Why the change:
In order to avoid a scenario where an unexpected team does exceedingly well at their first (or second) event and someone picks them for all their subsequent events just by being quicker to the keyboard, it will still give priority to the teams at the top of the waiver queue.

It isn't a big change and it shouldn't result in much headaches for who ever is running the waiver wire but it makes being at the top of the waiver list still worth while, and makes picking up said teams more fair for the whole league.

Just a thought that crossed my mind that we may want to implement.
I like. Usually there's one or two teams like that. That being said, they've often been snapped up as somebody's third-rounder in their later events...
