[FF]: 2014 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

When do waivers stop? I have read this in the rules, but kept screwing it up last year. IE, if 2056 signs up for an event 2 months after the event drafted, how long is it they are on waiver vs. open pool?

They are on waiver immediately, and stay on waiver until the following time the waivers are "cycled"--that is, the next time I award teams--given that they've been on waiver for more than 2 days. (If they're put on waiver less than 2 days from when I cycle waivers, they'll carry over to the next week.) The 2-day minimum was put in to make sure people had time to see that there was a new team available.

Any team that isn't claimed off of waivers during the cycle becomes a free agent effective immediately.

Any team dropped during a waiver cycle goes onto waivers, effective immediately--so if folks make their claims in public, savvy observers can spot some potential good deals coming down the line.

One other item: I stop running waivers right around the time Week 1 lists lock. It just becomes a bit of a hassle at that point.

So, to use the example given: the Magnolia Regional drafts in November. Sometime in late December, 2056 realizes that there are spots available and they have funds to travel down there and compete. They register and are processed, but somehow they pick a time when FIRST is busy and show up on the list in mid-January. Let's say that the FF players are busy for another couple weeks before someone spots them, so Feb. 1 rolls around and someone says "COOOOOL!!!!" and picks 2056 to join their alliance.

Now, at this point, what I'll usually do if someone makes a pick of a team that wasn't available before (instead of making a waiver claim) is to negate the pick, send the team onto waivers in all applicable tiers, and note the pick as a claim. Feb. 1 happens to be a Saturday next year, and I typically cycle waivers on Sunday nights--that means <48 hours will have passed. So, on Feb. 9, I'll cycle waivers, including all claims for 2056 in Magnolia Regional. Highest on the list gets 'em. If people have been too busy building robots to make claims, they'll be a free agent--other than whoever picked them, of course.

What with it being after Nov. 1 and all, I figure it's time to put up the waiver list, as I said I would. It's over in http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh....php?p=1299987 to keep this thread relatively uncluttered.

It's the 28th off--we'll probably just shift 27th and 28th up a day each.

Non-draft days once we start: Thanksgiving (didn't used to be an issue--darn districts!), Christmas Day, New Year's Eve--all by tradition.

[EricH]

And we have a new wrinkle--see "pesky districts". In this case, Michigan added the Midland District (3/21-3/22). It's pretty open right now, only 2 registered teams, so I'd suggest adding it to one of the 3 January days that only has one draft.


Oh, and this means that we can't afford to let even one draft slip--we've only got 2 makeup slots left.

[LeelandS]

Ed,

Not sure if you missed my earlier post, but Pauline (Paunatime) who is currently on Sour Patch Nerds will be switching to Team Awesome Blossom.

Ed, is this just a repost of the schedule or did you change some things around?
