New to MFL this year and I have everything setup automated to do waivers wednesday night then FCFS until Sunday gametime. We are allowed a max of 2 add/drops per week.
However in the playoffs we are only allowed to do 1 move the entire playoffs unless you can not field a full team due to injury, then you are allowed extra moves.
Anyway is there a way to automate this? Am I better off just leaving what I have for full year but just switching from automatic processing to manual?
What would be the easiest way I guess to accomplish this.
TIA
MFL has options for limiting how many waiver moves you can make, or to limit how many FCFS moves you make. However, the limits are either applied for the season, or for the week. If you used the season limit, then it would probably count any moves already made.
One option would be, when a team makes their move, you go into the Franchise Abilities setup and remove their ability to use waivers. You can do that on a franchise by franchise basis. But then it's not automated.
A possible way to do what you want automated, is have your playoff waivers be blind bidding waivers where everyone has a $1 waiver pool and the minimum bid is $1. So they only have enough money to pick up a single player.
To do so, go to your Waiver calendar set up and add a Blind Bidding waiver session. Then go back to Setup and there will be a new option showing for Blind Bidding waiver rules. Go in there, set the max amount per season to $1, bid increments $1, minimum bid $1, and amount charged for FCFS move to $1. Automatically processed yes. Conditional allowed, yes. Charged as real dollars no. And then set up the tiebreak criteria to be the same as your waiver order, and it should award the players same as your waiver session would have.
I think you'd want people to submit each player they want in a separate blind bidding round, don't put them all into one. Put the one they most want in round 1, then round 2, etc. Don't put them all into a single round like they would for normal waivers. I
think that will probably work... if everyone has the same price, I believe it will look at the player in round 1 for the highest tiebreak person, and award him first, to that team. Then move on to the 2nd highest, etc. There is a chance it might try to resolve bidding in a different order though. Also, make sure if they want to drop a player as part of the bid they select that player when filling in the bid, same as they would with a normal waiver claim.
If it were me I'd probably do it that way and just confirm the results went right. If they didn't, it would be such a small number of teams you could fix it manually. There is a previously processed waiver report where you can see who everyone had in what round.
