MFL Commish setup question (1 Viewer)

Currenty our setup doesn't allow add/drops after the first game of the week starts. This is a problem when there are Thurs games and owners may need to add a player for games played on Sunday and wouldn't be able to after kickoff on Thurs. We will vote for a change to our rules in 2010 to allow owners to add/drop players until kickoff of the game of the player you want to add. What should the settings be for this? How can you prevent owners from adding players from the Thurs game after Thurs and before Sunday @ 1:00?

Here is our current settings for 2009. What changes would I need to make to make this happen, and at the same time prevent owners from picking up players who's game has already played?

Weekly Lineup Setups - Gametime - Players are locked at scheduled kickoff of their game

Of course that's not going to prevent you from picking up a player who played on Thurs if first-come-first-serve is open. It will only prevent you from taking out a player who's game has started.

No Waivers Allowed Kickoff of Week 1 (Thu Sep 10 8:30:00 p.m. ET 2009) (Happens 15 more weeks.)

Waiver Request Tue Sep 15 7:00:00 a.m. ET 2009 (Happens 15 more weeks.)

First Come, First Served Waivers Thu Sep 17 12:00:00 a.m. ET 2009 (Happens 15 more weeks.)

We play a 13 game schedule with the playoffs in weeks 14, 15, and 16. Owners submit waiver requests starting at 7:00 a.m ET Tues morning and waivers run at midnight on Wed night, then first-come-first-serve open after waviers are run, usually a few seconds after midnight Wed / Thurs morning. FCFS stays open from that time until the first game starts on Sunday (providing no Sat games).

Edited to add - Twilight answered one of my questions, where I would set the following setting to YES for Prevent Owners From Making FCFS Waivers/Free Agent Moves Between Kickoff of that player's game and the end of the last game of the week?

That answers the question of how to prevent owners from adding players who's games have already been played, but what would the calendar setups be if you were going to allow add/drops of players who's games have not started after the Thurs game starts, up until the Sunday games start at 1:00 pm ET from week 1 of the season thru week 16?

Keep in mind our current setups for 2009 are -

No Waivers Allowed Kickoff of Week 1 (Thu Sep 10 8:30:00 p.m. ET 2009) (Happens 15 more weeks.)

Waiver Request Tue Sep 15 7:00:00 a.m. ET 2009 (Happens 15 more weeks.)

First Come, First Served Waivers Thu Sep 17 12:00:00 a.m. ET 2009 (Happens 15 more weeks.)

I assume I would have to do a manual start and end date for "No Waivers Allowed" for each Thurs week game, then do a "No Waivers Allowed" for the non-Thurs weeks (Happens N more weeks), where n in the number of weeks until the next Thurs game?

Under Waiver/Free Agent Setup, there is this question:

Prevent Owners From Making FCFS Waivers/Free Agent Moves Between Kickoff of that player's game and the end of the last game of the week? Yes/No

I'm pretty sure that's what is needed for it.

So if you set that to yes it won't let you pickup that player off the WW if his game has already started, even if you in general allow add/drops after the Thurs game starts up to the start of the games on Sunday?
This setting is not in the league I commish, so I'm not sure if there is anything else that needs to change, but that setting is set to yes in the leagues (Unlucky's Phenoms) I'm in that work that way.
