I put in a claim and it's showing in my pending transactions, but it says it won't be processed 'til next week.

Change the drop down on the Players list from "all available players" to "waiver wire". You'll see the guys who were just dropped as well as some recent additions to the database (e.g. M'Vila, Gradel). I think these players are tied up until next Thursday's waivers run.
I think that players who are added to the database go through waivers for 3 days (as do players who are dropped)

I am looking through the setup now - not sure where I saw the 3 days - but fairly certain that exists for players added to the database - players who are dropped may be only 1 day.

But since we have only one weekly waivers run, I think they're tied until next Thursday afternoon. 24 hours or 3 days is immaterial.
The player pool except for those 20 guys currently on waivers are free agents until Saturday morning, when they go back on waivers until Thursday.
Are we sure we want players who are dropped to be unavailable to be picked up for the weekend?
Granted - most players who are dropped are not worth picking up - but they could fill a role for another team. I thought the players became available last year, but I honestly don't recall.

I think the only way to make dropped players eligible for the same game week would be run waivers on Wed and Fri. This would allow players dropped on Wed to be added on Fri. The obvious problem is that players dropped on less than 24 hours before the Friday run would still be on waivers until the following Wednesday.

No, it's currently the same as last year as players were not available until the following week. It would be nice if they were (just let all dropped players go to the FA pool immediately) but not sure if that setting is available. In the end, though, I don't think it matters that much either way.

Thanks. Was wondering if it was similar to the NFL -- announcing inactives etc about 90 minutes prior to the game.

Players are available until their game starts.
I don't know about dropped players - don't think we allowed it last year. I am not opposed, but also not sure if we can do it.

Yes, I know players are available until game starts. And no, we didn't allow it for dropped players in the past, but some were asking about it and, reading that setting, it seems possible to allow dropped players to go directly to the FA pool instead of the WW (thus locking them). Again, I don't care much either way (players get dropped for a reason), but if most want these players available once dropped, it seems that would be the way to do it.
The rest would stay the same (players get locked until waivers run once their game starts).
I think that setting only has to do when FAs go back on waivers - it had been set at the start of the first game on Saturday, I changed it to the start of their respective games.
Different setting - but I think I found where I can change the dropped players to FAs. It allows for teh dropped players to remain on waivers for a set time period instead of processing with the next waivers.
So, I could set it at 0 days, and I think it would make everyone eligible - if not immediately, at least sooner.
But we need some consensus to make that happen this week.
I would be in favor of it.

I'm in favor. Locking dropped players is silly, IMO. But, in the whole scheme of things, not that important so I'm fine either way.

-1 for yellows just sucks.
gianmarco

I already said this. Unpredictable and really means nothing in the scheme of things.
ETA--My team currently has 3 yellow cards. That's over 10% of my scoring and is the equivalent of 6 goals scored against any of my defenders and almost the value of a goal scored by a striker. Just dumb.

I know. Didn't feel like finding your first post. Still saying -1 for yellows sucks.

When I said unpredictable, I meant to say that Jonjo was clearly an exception.:thuglife:
amirite?
What about a 1 day hold? That would make any players dropped saturday morning unavailable (so not being awake won't be a hinderance), but player dropped on waivers Thursday night would be available Friday Night?

I don't think that's the way Fantrax works. Players on waivers aren't cleared until the next waivers run, not some time interval after they were placed on waivers.
No - there is an option to place dropped players on waivers for a set period of time (days), instead of being processed
