Even if we don't do this for the current year, it would be helpful for waiver claims in general I would think.
I've been working off and on (and haven't gotten very far on) an Excel sheet. Trust me on waivers now being better(ish) than a couple years back.

One other thing I want to propose is to offer waiver priority to teams at a regional who have one (or more) pick drop out of the regional. In these cases, I think it makes sense that their new pick should be allowed regardless of waiver priority and time before the event, but once an event starts, then their team is replaced with a random.
In the rules--if you're missing a team, you have top waiver priority at that event, regardless of order.

Since FIRST Pick was at the top of the list and RFA second, FIRST Pick had priority and should be rewarded 4009 (swapping out 3513, per their request). They would then move to the bottom of the list, giving RFA 2486 (choosing to drop 3200). I'll wait for Eric to chime in here before processing.

I believe the new waiver priority should be:

Code:
Waiver Priority:
OrangeJuice
Falcon
Swamp Life
The Breakfast Company
The ULCAN
Broconnor
FIRST Pick
Rotten Fruit Alliance
The waiver claim for 48 at Queen City is still on the table, posted today by The ULCAN.
That would be correct. (Falcon is putting a claim on 48, though.)
