Rules for 2012 - Week 22 Bids/Claims (Read 240 times)

[Bobby]

Last week of the season bids and waives

1. Leave the rule as is
2. As is, except claims may be made after the deadline, but only by non-playoff teams.
3. Bidding thread deadline moves up a week and waivers/claims play out with no deadline for claiming.

option 2

I like option 2 on this one also.

I prefer option 2.

(Having the waiver deadline close 48 hours after the UFA bidding deadline would work for me too)

Option 2 works for me

I echo Lewjo and Jim.

Not sure how a waiver deadline would work.

Suppose teams are bidding on a player and they all have full rosters. The bidding is still active beyond the waiver deadline. How does the winning team sign and waive? Does a bidder have to waive before the deadline, not knowing if he'll get the player? If he doesn't waive in time, is his bid then illegal (if his is the last/highest bid)? And if his bid is then illegal, did the next team in line waive in time? Unless I'm misunderstanding, a waiver deadline could be a big mess.

I don't really have a position on the matter but leaving "as is" really that big of a deal?

Since I'm never gonna make the playoffs, I like option 2.

[johnnybravo]

my initial vote would be for option 2. i like the idea of nonplayoff teams still having the ability to improve themselves while the other teams compete for the title

Commish decision:

A player waived after the bid deadline (when the playoffs start), may only be claimed by a non-playoff team.

Should a successful claiming team need to waive for roster compliance, again, only a non-playoff team may claim. No deadline would exist should a chain of required waives occur.


Simply, playoff and non-playoff teams can put in claims up to the deadline, only non-playoff teams can claim after the deadline.

This does not create an opportunity for more waivers after the deadline. Players may only be waived for roster compliance as in the past.

Option 2 is fine.
