Waiver Wire Question

[ejones]

Ok so here is my question, I have 14 players and alotted 16. How do waivers work in this league, I have 3 people I would like to have in my waiver form. Will it start in order and if no one else wants my top player I get him, and lose the other 2 there, or do you automatically go back through and look at my next player to see if he is available and so forth? I am in like 6 different leagues, and all seem to have different waiver wire procedures, so I want to make sure I am on the right page

If there are 3 players you want, you have to list all 3. If your top player is there, you will get him. You will not get the other 2 unless you copy over your list to the next round. You can save up to 4 rounds of picks with each waivers. If you want 4 players, you have to copy it 4 times, I think there is a button you can click to carry over your list to the next round.

If there are 3 players you want, and you only have 2 roster spots, make sure you are dropping someone for the 3rd round of waivers. Do not drop anyone with any of the players in the first 2 rounds, as you have to roster spots open. If you enter a 3rd round of picks however, you will need to drop someone in that round to pick someone else up.

If your roster is full, and you don't list a player to drop with your pick-up, then MFL.com will deny your waiver. This is not a decision the commissioners make, MFL.com automatically rejects any waiver requests that will put a team over the roster limit.

Here would be an example for 3 players wanted, with 2 open roster spots:

Round 1:
Pick up Player A and drop none
Pick up Player B and drop none
Pick up Player C and drop none

Round 2:
Pick up Player B and drop none
Pick up Player C and drop none

Round 3:
Pick up Player C and drop Joe Shmoe

You might notice that the first player from each round does not have to be carried over to the next because if that player was still available, then you would have already received him. Notice in the 3rd round that you have to list a player to drop, because once you pick up the first 2, then you have reached the roster limit.

Hmmm.....I thought this pre-season waiver was limited to those teams that havnt fullfilled their rosters? How would be legal to go three rounds when only two are required to fill the roster? Unless all can be in the pre-season process. If im wrong and anyone can paticipate then scratch all the foremention'd hehe

How long have you been in the league? We have never limited waivers to the teams that need to fill their roster. Anyone can participate in any waivers process.

;D Now that is funny Eric.

[Commissioner]

From our league rules:

WAIVERS PROCESS:

Waivers will begin after the first week of the season has been completed. The waiver order will be determined by the following (the final criteria used may vary slightly):

Overall winning percentage
Power ranking as determined by MFL.com
Total points scored YTD
Reverse order of opponents total points against
Head-to-head record
Conference winning percentage
Divisional winning percentage

Owners may enter waiver requests starting Tuesday through Saturday. The commissioners will process waiver requests twice per week, Thursday and Saturday mornings (any time after 12:00 AM CT). There will be four rounds of waivers processed twice each week. Team owners may make up to four requests during each of the two waivers process.

Any non-keeper (a player drafted in the first three rounds) that is dropped after week six (6), also the trade deadline, will be considered "dead" for the remainder of the season. He may not be picked up on waivers by any team. This is to prevent collusion among owners.

We ususally run one waivers process before the season as courtesy to league owners so that they may fill their rosters, and to those that would like to exchange players. We're not required to do this and owners with less than 16 players on their roster don't have any special priority.

Good luck to everyone this season!
