| Wondering why a few franchises do not use the Waiver system but instead wait and use FCFS? Kind of defeats the purpose of the original Waiver setup and that was a concern of mine opening up the additional Waivers. Please enlighten the rest of us. |

| Sometimes (actually several recent weeks), I just forget that waivers take place on Wednesday night, and then realize that I have to pick up players on Thursday. I also don't understand what the downside is of teams using FCFS instead of the waiver system. Isn't it just a disadvantage for the franchises that do? |

| It's just easier to pick up the players after waivers for me |

| The Bananagrabbers:> Sometimes (actually several recent weeks), I just Waivers requests can be submitted starting on Tuesday's and are not processed until Thursday 12:00pm noon EST. We'll let the FCFS ride for the remainder of this year but will have to bring it up for a majority vote next year to continue....we did not have a majority with the recent addition of the FCFS. Seems like we just satisfied a few Franchise owners. |

Seems like we just satisfied a few Franchise owners. Actually it seems like 6 of the owners were on board. Maybe I can't count, but I am pretty sure. I thought we had done this (solved it) last year like I stated in an earlier response. We can and should put it up for a vote in the off season though. I have no problem with majority rules. |

| Here is a good reason...Lets say I need to pick up a kicker. Rather than submit a waiver for a stupid kicker and then go to the back of the order for the next week, I pick one up after waivers and don't drop in the waiver order. Then if there is someone I really want to pick up the next week I am sitting in a better position to grab them on waivers. Its just strategy. |

| Hawks, while I agree that that's the waiver system should work, I'm pretty sure the waiver order resets by record every single week. |

| You know, I thought the waivers system was a bit retarded. I guess I assume every league is the same. I'm in 4 and I can't keep track of em all. |

| Hawk's Minions:> You know, I thought the waivers system was a bit Retarded? How's that? Every League has it's Rules and I am kicking myself for being talked into changing our Rules from the way we have done Waivers for years. Actually I am at fault also since we did not take an actual Poll of all owners and get a majority. Next year any Rules changes will be done in the off season. |

| Legends, I so far fail to see in any possible circumstance how the current waiver system could be construed as inferior to the one prior. Could you elaborate? |

|
| The Bananagrabbers:> Legends, Did I say 'inferior'? Don't think so. All I am saying is changing Rules after the season has started without a majority vote approval should not happen. |

| Oh, okay. I thought you had a problem with the actual rule change, rather than the method. What you said does make perfect sense. However, I am inclined to forgo any regret because i believe we had 6 out of 12 owners who approved the change and maybe one or two that responded otherwise. If people aren't willing to pay attention to the league, then I don't really care whether they agree to the rule change or not. |
