Important discussion: excellent players waived...moratorium?
September 02, 2017 at 03:05PM View BBCode
Some teams that are not owned have had to waiver excellent players. These players are now on the waiver wire. Should we create a moratorium on picking them up?Rich

The best way, in my opinion, is to inform as many who check in everyday so the weakest teams get the best waived players.
The CLFL is a good example this year, ironman made a mistake in waiving a player. All of us but one owner agreed to let ironman take him back, that one team picked him up and kept him.

There is merit in what you are doing, but we will never get all to agree. I have seen it in many baseball leagues: The majority agree not to take players and one or two take them all.The best way, in my opinion, is to inform as many who check in everyday so the weakest teams get the best waived players.

This is ridiculous. We already have enough issues keeping teams in this league and then this crap happens. There are days you just can't check things for whatever reason. For the Sim Bowl Champ to turn around and get the players that they did.....I don't even know what to say besides this league becomes less appealing by the day. I have never quit a league, but that's not even remotely fun. No one's fault. Just not fun.

I think the best thing would be for the commish to have access to dead teams for waiving and setting a line up at the beginning of the season and then letting it run. At least this would keep them from waiving top caliber talent every draft. If something is not done, it will be the same next year.

Absolutely valid, but what do you do? I see St. Louis was online at the time who is an opponent in my division. He picked before me so I received players 2nd to him.I think the best thing would be for the commish to have access to dead teams for waiving and setting a line up at the beginning of the season and then letting it run.

I like your idea. Problem right now is that the commissioner is one of the dead teams! We need to get a new commissioner and implement this before next season.

Nothing against you for picking them. Like you have said, if you didn't pick them someone else would.I like your idea. Problem right now is that the commissioner is one of the dead teams! We need to get a new commissioner and implement this before next season.

Why can't the better players if waived by an unowned team when sent to the waiver wire have by skill level starting at perhaps B+ and .above be flagged or frozen. We could then have a vote by the teams with owners of who to assign the waived player. Just a suggestion. It still does not right the wrong situation that has already occurred

What is the wrong situation that already occurred? When teams go above the cap and are unowned they waive bench players and has always been the case. Everyone is aware of when rosters have to be cut to 53 and if some one cannot be online to see who is cut that is not a wrong situation. The same thing happened 2 years in a row in the CLFL, we are both in, when Birmingham was a dead team above the cap. It was no secret what will happen; bench players were waived until the team was below the cap. In all these cases the players were put on waivers for 24 hours before they could be claimed. It is hardly appropriate to call it a wrong when we all know the cutdown date and have 24 hours to claim waived players. It is not up to me to check your schedule to see if you have time to make a claim. be reasonable.[Edited on 9-5-2017 by HumYai]

How would admin write this into code especially if it is not site wide? If owners cannot be online an entire 24 hours after 53 man cut downs to claim a player. then how are they going to vote on who gets what players? HOw many days into the season do we go waiting for owners to vote? I do not see any of that being logistically feasible. Not to mention this does not address dead teams losing their best players. The idea is get these teams sold, not rape them and then vote who gets em.
The best way is for the commish to access these dead teams and put the BEST players on the active roster where they cannot we waived. Another option would be to have no salary cap on dead teams.

Very interesting discussion. I am proof of the HumYai theory as I am in and out online for a few minutes and sometimes don't see all transactions. The two solutions that HumYai suggested seem equitable and doable (code wise).Rich

I sent admin a private message over a week ago about both ideas. If league members think it might help, try sending him a message also.
I did not mean to disrespect the other idea, but it has to be some thing admin can do sitewide and not turn the whole game upside down.
Making the change would also be in the best interest of admin. Keeping the youngest and highest draft picks make a tem much more apt to be sold
