[FF]: 2014 Season Long Waiver Thread

[EricH]

With FF registration now closed, it's time to get the waiver list out and ready to go.

First, how this works:

If a team becomes available AFTER the draft of any event, they go on waivers, effective as soon as they're discovered. (This also applies to teams dropped by FF teams who drop out.) The only teams this doesn't apply to are teams traded to the pool before midnight PST on draft day. They stay on waiver until the next time waivers are cycled (minimum 48 hours on waiver).

Any FF team may claim any team on waivers that is in their tier. Valid claims include the team claimed, the team to be dropped if the claim is awarded, and the event and tier the claim is made in. If multiple claims are made during any cycle, priority order would be nice; if multiple claims are made by one FF team for one tier, please prioritize the adds and the drops separately (this makes it easier for me to figure out which team drops if the 1st add claim doesn't go through).

One note, claims can be submitted via PM or via this thread.

When waivers are cycled, the FF team with the highest priority gets their first claim and goes to the bottom of the priority list. I remove that team from anybody else's claims, and do that a few more times until there are no more claims. Any team left unclaimed is a free agent; any dropped team goes onto waivers.

I will try to cycle waivers Sundays around 8 PST; however, I may fudge that up to one day in either direction with notice given ahead of time.

All that said, here is the priority list to start the year:
Deus X (Dr Theta)
The Fighting Calculators (Boe, stoutman777, peirvine)
Schrodinger's Cat (Pault, CJ3958)
The Breakfast Company (BrennanB and kmbibic)
Team Hindsight (Thunder910, bobby5150)
Team Spark (sarah_storer and Bulah! )
Lunatecs (dubiousSwain)
The Phantom Zone (Blackphantom91)
Prestige Taco (Brandon_L, Andrew Lawrence, PayneTrain, Gregor and Knufire)
Team Awesome Blossom (GCentola LeelandS and secretspy97)
TeamRUSH27 (stingray27, jlmcmchl)
Falcon (EricH)
Koko's X-Cats (koko ed)
LTown Throwdown (PVCpirate,flak-bait, Jay Money 1058, and BrendanB)
Team Flippin' The Greatest (XaulZan11, Akash Rastogi, JackS, Chris is me)
Team 3 (Basel, JABot67, Nick)
Sour Patch Nerds (JosephC, paunatime, jeremy callahan)
Peach Alliance (Anupam Goli, ghostmachine360, iPenguin, ttldomination)
Curiosity (MARS_James, Littleboy,and LedLover96 )
Automated Scoring (bam bam, DevinStonow and Wooly)
PureMichigan (Clinton Bolinger, IKE, Zach O, JackN)

And there are no teams on waiver because drafts haven't started yet.

[EricH]

And we have our first waiver teams of the season! Lunatecs have been booted from the league, making the following teams available in the following tiers:

2591, 3632, 5014	Centerline 2
2224, 4680, 4405	Southfield 1
4505, 4576, 4748	Palmetto
3679, 3999, 4332	Alamo 2
2781, 3177, 4676	Midwest 1
3958, 4929, 4987	Granite State 1
3295, 3470, 4705	Inland Empire 2

I'll go put notices in tiers later on.

Also, I'll try to get these teams cycled through on Sunday night.

[Jay O'Donnell]

LTownThrowdown would like to switch out 4909 for 3958 in Granite State tier 1.

[Pault]

Schrodinger's Cat wants to trade 3566 for 3958 in Granite State Tier 1.

Sorry Jay, but we've gotta take our own team.

I can't say that I wasn't expecting Schrödinger's cat to pick up Schrödinger's cat. You better not be taking 1058 or 3467 from us though!

But what's the probability that both the Cat picking up and the Cat being picked up will be alive?

25% of course. I don't like those odds.

And Jay, no promises!

[EricH]

OK, so I'm a bit late. OTOH, not much activity. 5 total claims, 2 awards.

Curiosity Palmetto 4576 in 4976 out
Schrodinger's Cat Granite State 1 3958 in 3566 out

Priority list is now:
Deus X
The Fighting Calculators
The Breakfast Company
Team Hindsight
Team Spark
The Phantom Zone
Prestige Taco
Team Awesome Blossom
TeamRUSH27
Falcon
Koko's X-Cats
Ltown Throwdown
Team Flippin' the Greatest
Team 3
Sour Patch Nerds
Peach Alliance
Automated Scoring
PureMichigan
Schrodinger's Cat
Curiosity

And the current waiver teams are:
3566 in Granite State 1
4976 in Palmetto.

[EricH]

The following teams have been declared free agents. No changes to the waiver priority list.

3566 in Granite State 1
4976 in Palmetto

There are no teams currently on waiver.

[EricH]

OK, you all know the drill. Get your claims in by next Sunday. Lots o' goodness in this list, have fun.

I'm going to make a slight change to the waiver procedure. Officially, y'all have until Sunday (when I start cycling) to make your claims. BUT! If the first team on the priority list makes a claim, I'll cycle their first claim ASAP and update until I hit a team that doesn't have a claim.

The other thing that's going to be a bit different is that I am not updating the individual threads. There's just too many of them--the booted teams were almost never in the same tier. I'll update them when I cycle teams, if a claim is made, or over the following week if no claim is made in that tier.

I can't imagine that was a quick job, thanks for doing waivers Eric.

I'm figuring that y'all got until 1/9 to make claims, otherwise the lot of these teams are free agents (just like all the ones that didn't get claimed).

I thought I heard someone say something about waiver cleaning... on your mark, get set, go!

Guess what, no claims. So... If they ain't claimed in a tier, they're a free agent. (I'm not entirely certain all the waiver claims from the last week got processed--if anybody runs across a tier with waiver teams, I'd appreciate if they would check for awards and then put everybody that isn't claimed into the free agent pool.)

[bam-bam]

Sorry for updating the tiers, Eric. I'll try to do some a bit at a time everyday.

[bam-bam]

Small PSA: Please check your respective tiers to see if your roster is up-to-date. I will do what I can with the latest, but not all of the last ones (when Rush27 and the other team got dropped) were not updated.
