6. Proposal F – Establish an Automatic Waiver Wire process to pick-up Free Agents Change the process to pick-up free agent players during the week. In order to provide an equal opportunity for all teams to add players to their roster, a waiver wire process can be implemented. Teams request to add free agents to their rosters are not executed immediately, but are put in a pending status. This allows multiple teams to request the same players. Then once a week on Wednesday Night, a waiver process will be run, executing the pending requests in a waiver rank order. Requests can be made from 7am EST or 4 am PST on Tuesday until 11pm EST or 8 pm PST on Wednesday when the waiver process is run. During a waiver process, pending transactions are automatically processed in an order determined by each team’s waiver rank. The team with the highest waiver rank will get its first requested player. If that teams highest pending transaction can’t be executed because another team as the requested player, the transaction gets deleted and the teams next transaction, if one exists, is then executed. When a team gets a requested player, the team’s waiver rank is dropped to the end and every other team moves up one and the process is continued. If a team doesn’t have any pending transactions because all players requested were taken by other teams, or the owner simply didn’t request any players, the team’s turn is skipped. The waiver rank is based on the reverse order of the standings (the criteria for this is determined by the commissioner). The waiver rank is reset each week based on the latest reverse order of the standings. After the waiver process is run, Starting at 7 am EST or 4 am PST on Thursday owners will be allowed to select free agents on a first-come, first-serve basis. All transactions still have to abide by league rules and can be overturned by the Commissioner. Example: Let’s say you wanted to pick-up a QB for this week, so you selected three different QB’s on the Waiver Request screen. Unfortunately, after the waiver process is run, you find out all three of the QB’s you requested were selected before your turn came up. But since you are allowed by the new process free agent pickups are on a first-come, first-served bases after the waiver process runs, you simply go to the Add/Drop Players screen and select a QB from the remaining free agents. |
