Waivers Bonanza Guidelines
All players listed will be posted in the Contraction Draft area. Once Winter Meetings begin at 8pm on the 17th we will begin our Waivers Bonanza as well.
As stated each player will have their own thread (post) like regular waivers. That is where you will put in your claim (claim like normal waivers). Simply goto the player you wish to claim and reply to that thread (post) with your claim.
Ok so that’s how you do it. Here’s the juice. Each team will be allowed 1 bonanza claim a day. The bonanza waiver period will be 24 hours. After the 24 hour period at 8pm on the 18th you will be awarded that player. Then we will begin day 2. And so on.
We have our waiver order listed. We will follow that. So if you claim someone and get under claimed then you then lose that claim. Beauty is go claim another guy. Everyone gets one guy a day if they so wish. Can’t change your mind though. Have to get under claimed to switch your guy.
We will do this for the two week of meetings. I don’t foresee all the players being claimed. Some teams have room, and some don’t. You can waive guys to make room if you have cap. But those players will be available through normal waivers to the league during meetings. So you could lose them trying to make room. Also we have an All Star UFA class this year you might want to save some cap for during bidding.
I feel this will be a great opportunity to help our squads and increase parity even more. I want 12 teams in it till last few weeks. Then just me and couple others..😬
Now why Waivers and not a draft? Well it will work like a draft for few days maybe more. Yet I don’t want to be waiting on each other to draft. Honestly we don’t do drafts in this league. Obviously I won’t place a claim on a guy who the Royals claimed?
So I would ask the lower teams in waiver order to please place claims earlier rather than later for consideration purposes. So as bidding begins each night at 8pm maybe claim your guys that evening and allow the remainder of league to have later night that night, then morning and evening to place theirs in order. But you will have full 24 hours to place your claim if you choose too or because life got in the way.
There is no need to wait to claim once the teams ahead of you do. As you would then have next choice of who you want. And no need for lower teams to wait till end to underclaim during the first few days unless you wanna be a Douchebag.
The waiver order will continue to just reset each day as all 12 teams will claim. After so many days , and teams have grabbed who they wanted. Some teams might not claim anymore. Then the waiver order will change with each claim.
Now for two weeks we should get though a majority of the players. I cut bonanza waivers for this to 24 as it is acting as a kinda draft. We want to get through this in two weeks. Once meetings over all the left over players will enter bidding as UFA.
Any questions please ask. Think this should work fine.
