Waiver Wire

We will be using a Waiver Wire system in the Pro 10 and Pro 8 when dealing with Free Agent pick ups. Anyone who has good knowledge of the NFL or has played Fantasy Football will probably understand how the system works, but here are the basics about what you need to do to claim free agents.


How the Waiver Wire Works:
1. A list will be posted of all the available Free Agents that are eligible for waivers. 
2. To claim a player, send a PM to @DiodeX for the Pro 10 and @DanMcGrath77 for the Pro 8. These posts go through admins that are not part of the league for transparency reasons. 
3. After the waiver period is over, the commissioners will award players based on the overall of the team, with the lowest overall teams getting first selection.
4. Once a player has been awarded to a team, they will go to the end of the queue, and this continues until all players that have had a claim put in for them have been claimed. 
5. Any remaining players left after this stage will be free for any coach to pick up.
6. Any players released during that time will be put on the next Waiver Wire which will be posted shortly after the previous claims have been cleared.

Waivers deadlines are at week advance in the preseason due to people building up their squads, but run from Sunday - Sunday during the regular season.

Are these to be processed at the advance each week or daily?

What if you put in a claim for a player who's in free agency, but not on wavier wire list of players, i had looked at two players in fa last night and put in a pm for them when it opened and I double checked the list of players now one wasn't on it

Its probably because i only did up to a minimum of 72 OVR (it would take all day to do any lower than that). Put them down on your list anyway and we'll award them as we would with anyone else.

everybody in FA (not released this week) has to be put on the waiver claims, but since there's hundreds of players good luck writing them all down :lol: , next week everybody released in pre season week 1 has to go on waiver claims, rest is free for all

Cool, thanks.

Presumably it's like last year and there's nor upper limit to the number of players that can be claimed?

Yes there's no limit to the amount of players you would like to claim, just list them top to bottom in priority.

Edited the main post to outline the deadlines:
