Not sure if it's possible but can you set it where you can pick up and start a player the same day up until the start of the first game?

A free agent period between waivers and gametime?

No, it's either all FCFS (minus drops) or all Waiver Wire. I don't believe Yahoo! has an option for a combo. It's a compelling enough reason to look for a new site to use in 2017 if we decide the setup for 2016 sucks.

ok...thx

 
Commish - They won't let me drop Pollock, so I had to drop Devin travis to make some moves. Can you manually let me drop Pollock and get back Devon?

 
also, I much preferred the old FA process, so I could do my business and see where I was, rather than wait until morning and maybe not have a good roster. Not #####ing and I'll live with it, but throwing in my 2 cents.

I don't think you own Pollock :confused:

Too many leagues to keep track.

This nightly waiver run is a p\roblem,

I put two players on DL. I now have invalid roster. It may be valid tomorrow after waivers run, but maybe not.  There needs to be FCFS at some point to create legal rosters.

So if I'm reading this right the waiver process is a problem because you're in too many leagues. That's a new one.

No, you're not reading it right. I have Pollock in about a dozen out of 15 leagues and mistakenly said I had him in this one., I do not.

Nightly waivers are problem because: if you have an illegal roster because of drops or DL, you cannot ensure you make you roster legal with FA pickups, because someone with a higher priority may snipe your replacement, leaving your roster invalid and no way to correct until the next waiver run, where you may or may not get a proper replacement. 

 
i'm in two leegs with cos and he's blowing up the other message board asking about how the weekly lineups work.  it's been a pretty hectic morning.

For clarification, what are you calling a legal roster?

The only way you can have an illegal roster is if you have a guy on the DL that is no longer DL eligible. If that's the case then cut someone and move the DL guy to active. if you don't then yahoo won't let you make a move anyway.

Sounds like good questions. For February.

They changed part of the rules from last year and didn't change the other part and then added today's game to the first week.

What that meant was, with Pollock's injury, there was no way to replace him before the first weeks games, since waivers run Thur and Sun. It was an issue. 

Losing Pollock was bad enough, without being forced to punt an OF position for the first 8 days. In no previous situation was an owner forced to punt an entire week of stats because of an injury that occurred before the weekly contest began. Throwing in Sunday added extra confusion.

But turns out  they also changed (but did not advise) that lineups are no longer due at noon, the day of the period's first game, but now until a players games start that week, so problem solved.

Every one that isn't on a roster is on waivers. Every night, Yahoo runs waiver claims overnight and awards the player to the person with the highest priority claim. They are eligible to be used immediately. The player who is dropped in the transaction must go through a two day waiver to ensure everyone gets a chance to see they're available.
