Dynasty waivers (1 Viewer)

Im starting up a local Dynasty and was wondering what people think is best.

Blind bidding

Or

Allowing the worst team priority every week (kinda like MOX leagues)

Thanks

Any other good forms of waivers???

Blind bidding is the fairest way. Just because a team is terrible does not mean they should get all benefits. They already get the top pick of each round in a high percentage of dynasty leagues. Waiver wire is not skill but being at the right place at the right time usually.

If it's dynasty my league doesn't reset the waiver order. It began as the inverse of the draft order before the first year started, and since then whoever is on top is whoever hasn't picked up as many players on the waiver wire yet. It adds a bit of worth to the waiver wire, less players being picked up for the sake of it and instead being punced upon in FA if they aren't rated highly enough. It's also a trading option. I had the top waiver for about half a year, and was trying to get a trade through and offered my number 1 spot as well.

Mind you, this is a league with rosters of 34 players each at the end of each rookie draft and then when FA starts you can pick up another six, so huge rosters (Though it includes IDP, but most of the time the rosters are filled with 8 WRs, 8 RBs, 3-4 QBs each). So there isn't that much talent on there and you're pretty much waiting for that one out from no where stud.

Blind Bidding. Reward strategy, not losing. Yahoo's system isn't bad either ^last to take is first^

In our league, we Blind Bid the first part of the week. Once they are processed, it's FCFS up until game time. In my opinion, it's the best of both worlds.

Open bidding is the most fun.

open bidding sucks the most you try and bid on someone no one has bid on in weeks and theres been no changes and they all of a sudden forgot about him and start bidding on him. All the lazy people do is look at what players are being bid on its like oh that guys going for a lot he must be good

I've heard the lazy argument many times, but no one in any of my leagues is lazy I'd suggest not playing in those leagues.

i like a worst to first waiver run on Friday nights after injury report comes out to keep the league competitive followed by an open FCFS period. usually the bad teams need the extra help. Most of the time there isn't much in terms of players on the wire and it causes the good teams to have to think a week ahead

That's why BLIND biding is best, no one sees it til waivers go thru

Exactly, laziness should NEVER be rewarded in dynasty. You want to get more competitve, know who is on your wire. In case of a tie, reward the team with the worse record.

wow, I never realize how many crappy/lazy owners were out there! I guess I'm fortunate enough to be in leagues without these guys.

In my favorite league we do blind bidding from 1 pm Sunday kickoffs through Wednesday night, then first come first serve through the remainder of the week ending 10 am the following Sunday.

Blind bidding alone works better as everyone in your dynasty league has a budget and cannot go over it and trot out every FA it feels like. In FCFS, you also get those people that will pick up someone and cut them to prevent another team from picking them up. In the dynasty leagues I commish, I have blind bidding from Tuesday 12am thru Thursday 7pm. Next round is 6am Friday thru Saturday at 7pm. Final round is from Sunday at 6am thru 11:45am.

I also like blind bidding followed by FCFS

IMO the problem with reverse order (based on that week's standings) is that the early season is often quite random and not indicative of which are the good / weak teams but the early weeks are when the season changing acquisitions happen (e.g. B Lloyd types)

so basically in trying to have a system that helps the weak teams you aren't really assured of achieving that.

Then you use last year's finish of standings.#1 move after week 1 goes to last season's worst team.#2 move after week 1 goes to tne 2nd worst team last year...and so on.I prefer bliind bidding but in 1 of my leagues the teams feel the worst team deserves 1st pick but every week it gets old fast when you never get a player.So rolling waiver order isn't a bad idea the team with the worst 2010 record gets #1 move after week 1 and then it rolls after that.A combination could be used as well weeks 1-8 blind bidding weeks 9-16 worst record.
