And you missed one important element to your claim: Which FLR tier are you guys in? (This makes it easier to deny anybody else in that tier...)

Sorry- Tier 1. Thanks.

[Akash Rastogi]

Not sure where we are in the waiver list right now

FLR Tier 2 - 341 in, 1559 out.

I've still got teams on your list, which means you're near the bottom (though given the lengths of certain lists, not AT the bottom when all's said and done). OTOH, you might get lucky.

FYI, as Hindsight is at the top of the priority list, I will be including that claim with this round, running AFTER I finish everybody else.

[EricH]

At LONG last, the waivers have been fully cycled. So, here are the awards (team, then tier, new team, old team, repeat), the new priority list, and the new waiver teams list.

Before you read the lists, though, I would like to make a quick note: In some cases, players may have specified the wrong tier, or a team that wasn't available. (Or worse, swapped their in/out claims.) In such cases, particularly with a large volume of claims, chances are that the team(s) in question will NOT be awarded! Given that nobody else got them, however, they are now free agents. (Not gonna post that list, fellas. Not in this post, at any rate.) If that's you, feel free to clean up the tiers when you make any free agent trades.

And now: I could use some help over the next several days. If you're interested, the one remaining part of cycling waivers is to go through every single affected tier (any tier listed with a team at the start of this round) and clean up by assigning any claimed teams, eliminating the booted player(s), and moving any unclaimed or newly waivered teams to appropriate sections. If you're interested, shoot me an email, PM, or Skype and I'll drop the info for 5-10 tiers your way.

[Littleboy]

Eric, thank you for all of your hard work.

For Lake Superior tier 1, Curiosity was supposed to get 3018, not 3108. Probably just a typo.

To make your life easier, we could make each person receiving a team responsible for updating their teams in the affected threads.

Thanks for getting the waivers done so quick!

I'd be willing to do that, and it would be faster, but (a) it's not going to happen and (b) it's inefficient (multiple waiver claims for the same tier). With about 45 tiers, it'll be pretty quick work for 5-10 volunteers. Eric, do you want to organize assigning of tiers for updating?

That's exactly what I'm doing. If someone wants to help, I drop somewhere between 5 and 10 tiers to them, in the form of the add/drop teams, and figure that the claim award list has been posted, which will fill in the gaps.

My preference is pretty much to work the way it is now, but if someone makes a free-agent trade and someone hasn't gotten to that tier, then it'd be great if the tier was updated--just let me know so I don't drop it in someone's lap.

[bam-bam]

Here's the new waiver teams and dropped teams in a spreadsheet. I mentioned the teams that have picking priority in the tiers I posted in, but it's your responsibility to check your teams and see if you get picking priority for the event.

FYI, I went back to the events I overlooked and updated the added/dropped teams in this same spreadsheet.

Lastly, sorry about the random burst of posts in the tiers asking for swaps. I got several of those wrong by total accident and I had forgotten that these teams really go to the waivers.

These teams will be cycled next Sunday via rules.

I'll go for the Sunday cycle--but as a reminder, I've got a Thursday cycle first with a bunch of teams from the last set of waivers. (And I know that one of those teams is going out the door!)

[bam-bam]

Do you mean this Thursday, Eric?

[IKE]

Pure MI waiver lists sent to Erich for both waiver cycles.

[EricH]

All righty then. It's Thursday, and I've had claims for exactly 1 team.

PureMichigan gets 341 in FLR 2, dropping 378. (And they go to the bottom of the waiver priority list.)

All other teams listed last week are now free agents.


So, now we come to this week. Here's how I'm figgerin' it'll go down:

bam-bam already put out a spreadsheet of added teams and dropped teams--I figure "why duplicate work?" (Though I'll be copying the adds into my tracking sheet.) If you have a dropped team, you have Missing Team Priority (MTP) in that tier--you're at the very top of the waiver priority list for that tier, you can pick any team that isn't already picked, but if you pick a waivered team, you'll be at the bottom of the list on the spot. Y'all let me know if you're missing a team. (I do double-check--or I might get lazy. Ya feelin' lucky?) Multiple MTPs in one tier? First one to speak wins.

Now, all those added teams are considered to be on waiver in all tiers for that draft--until Sunday night! (I might decide to extend until sometime on Tuesday, FYI--I've got some more time then.) You want 'em, you claim 'em.

One catch, though. Centerline 1, 217 already got claimed using MTP--PureMichigan, replacing 3539, dropped team (and they're already at the bottom of the list). Automated Scoring has MTP in Centerline 2, same missing team--nobody else has told me yet that they're missing a team.

[iPenguin]

Our team would like some clarity. The sheet bam-bam posted was posted on Monday (12/23), thus all teams on the list should have gone through a waiver cycle, correct? If that is true, then are all those teams now free agents? If not, then bam-bam, you can't just decide to pickup teams willy-nilly - gotta put in waiver claims for each of 'em bro.
