S49 Waiver Process
Posted: Thu Dec 10, 2020 1:31 pm
Players not currently on a roster should be claimed via our new Waiver Claims process. This replaces Free For All Free Agency. All Waiver Claims received for players currently in the Free Agency pool by 5pm on Friday, 12/11 will be processed per the rules below. The resulting "winning" claims will be posted in this thread.
Waiver claims are to be submitted via PM to FlemmingCheeks (send to here: ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=220).
After all claims have been posted, FlemmingCheeks will post "all other players have cleared waivers" in this thread. Once that occurs, players may be claimed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Waiver Claims wrote:Should a team attempt to claim multiple players by the same deadline (e.g., Post-Training Camp Waiver Claims) the team should indicate the order of priority the players should be processed in. If a team does not specify an order of priority, priority shall be assigned based on:
* First, the earliest PM received
* Second, if multiple names appear in a single PM, the order in which names are listed in the PM
Teams attempting a waiver claim will have their waiver claims prioritized as follows:
* Teams shall be given waiver priority in reverse order of their record at the time of waiver processing (or, the prior season, in case of Post-TC Waiver Claims). In other words, worst teams get first dibs. During the offseason (Post-TC Waiver Claims) the team's record the previous season is used instead.
* In the case of two teams with a tied record, the team who submitted their PM first shall be given priority.
* Players are signed one at a time, not in bunches by team. As soon as a team signs a single player, that team is "moved to the back of the line" - in other words, no team may sign a second player until every team has had a chance to claim their first player. No team may sign a third player until every team has had a chance to claim a second player, and so on (mostly applicable in Post-TC Waver Claims).
