Waiver Process (aka The Cheeks and Flemming Act of 1995)
Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2015 2:10 pm
A player who was released will not be able to be signed until 8pm CST of the following day. Once 8pm CST hits, it becomes a Free For All signing opportunity (first come, first serve). Any signing thread of that player posted prior to 8pm CST will be disqualified (and subsequently locked). End of Day cutoffs will also be CST (See Example 2).
Exception: A player cut between Phase 3 of UFA and the beginning of the Free-For-All period is eligible to be signed at the beginning of the Free-For-All even if 24 hours have elapsed per 2014-15 Proposition 10.
Example 2: Player X is released by one of our west coast residing GMs at 11pm PST on Jan 2. 11pm PST on Jan 2 is 1am CST on Jan 3. Therefore, Player X will not be able to be signed until 8pm CST on Jan 4.
