[FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

I need some confirmation. If a team claims a waiver team before any other team, does that team get priority or does it go to the highest team on the waiver priority list?

The highest team on the priority list.

That kinda sucks. Why should a team who doesn't check regional waitlists benefit when I forsay find out that 4 top teams are going to regional x. Folks basically benefit from work they didn't do. But hey, I'm just here to compete.

You don't have to publically say who you want. PM Eric

He did. The problem is that at this point, one claim triggers a full waiver run (all teams, all events--less districts as I noted), and I opted to include more recent claims in this current run.

What is the current waiver priority order?

The reason it's done this way is exactly because of some situations where people were doing exactly that, and people didn't have a chance to pick up decent teams that happened to officially add while they weren't around. (BTW, people aren't supposed to be able to--they aren't publicly available as far as I'm aware.) I myself will admit to scanning through a list of teams that would be available as soon as someone was booted and pre-preparing a post to get a good team as soon as the boot was announced (this was before waivers)--literally, see post, click "submit post"--and I wasn't the only one.

Instead, all the teams that are on waiver are announced at one time, if at all possible. This hopefully obscures the good teams in a cloud of mediocre teams. And, you still need to do your homework. There's been a few times where I've looked at a team on the waiver, compared to teams I had, and decided against making a claim.


Oh, and BTW: While you're checking those regionals, you might want to check that your teams are still ON those regional lists. Everybody's missing at least one team.
