OT 2018-2019 Rip City Two FANTASY FOOTBALL

I know how waivers works or should work. When someone asks when they can start making moves and you answer simply at midnight that does nothing to answer his question. Putting in waiver claims and offering trades aren't officially moves unless they are accepted.

 

Not a pro at this lol.
A little more info if people need it. From what I’ve gathered if you claim someone on waivers it resets your position in the waiver order to last.

 

Maybe as the commish you should make sure you explain it correctly to people when they ask a question.

 

Honestly the system is a little confusing for me, why are players who no one ‘owned’ last week on a queue? Is it to keep some nerd like me from jumping in and doing all my moves at 12:01? When no one else has the chance?
It makes sense for a player who got dropped because then it gives everyone another shot at them.
A player that no one had well, everyone has had a chance to get them.

 

That comment was towards me and stupid. Instead of helping explain the process to you he chose to be super confusing and not explain anything.

 

You can release players, agree to trades, and change your lineup. The only move you can't make is a waiver pickup because its waivers...

If you wanted information on the waiver process, you should have referenced it in your question.

 

You didn't ask when waiver claims go through. The week resets, and it opens up every type of move including waiver claims. If you wanted to know when waiver claims are processed, you should've asked "When do waiver claims het processed" and I would've happily told you.

 

Yes, thats exactly why. Players could have enormous value if theyre a backup of a player that just got hurt or had a big week. It's that way in every league I've ever played in and it's never been questioned. If there were no waivers you could stack up on whoever you wanted and make multiple additions before anyone else. It also wouldnt allow the worst teams in the league a chance to recover.

 

I'm referencing Eric. Yes thats correct.

 

Got it. Thanks for answering my questions.

 

The banter in here is top notch! This thread is gonna be massive by year end. How many pages did we get last year?

 

He asked when you can MAKE MOVES and you said at midnight. You didn't explain shit but it was obvious that he was talking about picking up free agents and you simply told him midnight. Don't try to act all high and mighty, this isn't about me. It sounds like he didn't even know what waiver claims were so I think he deserved a better answer than "midnight".

 

Congrats on the victory in week 1!

 

I had an idea of what waiver claims were, I just didn’t have a great understanding of how the systems in place worked. It’s been a long time since I’ve played fantasy. Kind of on me to go figure stuff out too. I think I’ve got it it at this point so I’m good.

 

@TorturedBlazerFan

What you want to do is make any claims for waivers today. You're 5th in the waiver order. So what will happen tonight is the site will start with whoever has the #1 claim and grant his top waiver claim. If he has none it moves on to #2 and so on. After going through all 10 teams it starts back over at #1 again and keeps going 1 through 10 until all players that have claims are assigned teams. So in theory you could get 5 or 6 guys if you really wanted to change your team drastically or you could put claims on 4 guys and those 4 guys could be gone by the time you pick. It doesn't really make sense to drop guys before waivers go through though just in case you don't get anyone to replace them. Once waivers are processed everyone that is unclaimed is then a free agent and you can add/drop as much as you want until the games start for the player you are adding or the player you are dropping. When a player is dropped he goes on waivers as well but that is a different claim only for that specific player if you want him.

For example you just dropped Moncrief and now he is on waivers until Thursday not part of waivers tonight.

 

Thanks! Really good post. There’s a lot of guys on my team that I was frustrated with lol, so I had that urge to be like, “You, you, and you, you’re all fired”. It’s week on though so can’t over react too much.

 

You realize that waiver claims are one of multiple different types of moves right? So how is it obvious?

Figured he understood waivers and was asking when everything unlocks. Everything unlocks at midnight, including the ability to make claims via waivers.

Quit being so goddamn annoying.

 

Nah man, quit putting this on me. As commish it's your responsibility to make sure people understand the process. Making a waiver claim or making a trade offer is not making a move. You failed to answer his question leaving him confused (and me too). Instead of taking the time to explain it better you chose to come at me so it's rather funny that you would say I'm being annoying.

It's not my fault your team sucks, ha ha ha.

 

As of midnight you can agree to and push through trades, release players, and make lineup changes. Those are all moves, and you know it, so cut the bullshit. The roster essentially unfreezes at midnight, and you know what I'm talking about. Instead, you come in here acting dumb as if the only fantasy football move that could made is the immediate acquisition of a player, just to try to push my buttons.

If he was wondering about when waivers got pushed through, then he failed to be specific enough in his question which wasn't going to be a problem until you showed up

And you don't know how to keep things light, and all you've been trying to do is be as annoying as possible. Keep this up, and only one of us will be playing in the 3-on-3 tournament next year, and only one of us will be in this fantasy football league. Cut it out.

 

Thanks man! Looks like Jennifer tried hard enough this week too - that's your team right?
