I know this has been talked about before, but it feels like its getting worse. Almost every time I place a claim in, the system seems to not process it and the player goes directly to free agency. That makes it like a first come first serve thing, which isn't supposed to happen with a waiver system. This is a bigger issue than future lineups in my opinion.
Heres a link, everybody look so I know im not losing it..Lol..
Put your mouse on "How claims are resolved", you wont get an explanation of this rule, it just shows a empty black box..But any other rule shows an explanation of that specific rule inside the black box.
I sent a link to Admins to see if the league is set to lock all players at start of first game, but like I said I tested it and was able to claim a player and it was going to let me pick up a player with no problems, I think there is a problem with this player.
No problem Rick..I appreciate you taking the time help me out..
At this point, I dont even care if I get Verlander..It would be nice to get him, but i'd rather get the bug fixed so it doesnt happen to anybody else now or in the future.
And none of the flea defaults shouldve been changed..The only settings I changed in any of my leagues are the starting rosters, scoring and changed waivers to "dropped players only" which Verlander obviously falls into since he was dropped.
And there is no active waivers happening in the league right now except for mine ( they would show in grey for a active waiver, the players name would be in grey for a active waiver) but there is 2 team that can add cause they have the room.
I would post in the league that you tried to put awaiver in and it won't do it cause of a player bug ( remember I tested the wire on both ends and it worked) and that there is 2 teams below you ( one is me and I won't put in a claim) and that if nobody adds him that you are importing him to your roster and that there is proof of this.
I also added that you were trying to get this player and having trouble and that you should have him, so hopefully they can get him in your lineup soon.
Keep in mind your the Commish and have the power to add him. I would just import him to your roster after the fact that no other member in our league had a claim to him. Watch tomorrow and see if he goes to just add. Or see if a team picks him up on waivers before your claim (10th). If not, just add him to your roster as you were trying to put a claim in.
Well I have the 10th waiver spot, so no he shouldnt be put on my roster because its highly unlikely I would claim him if the league is active and seen him dropped.
If he is claimed, you can check by seeing if the team below you gets the claim. I'll watch for you. If a team belows you gets the claim, thats not fair to you, but like I said I put in a claim and got the same thing as you so it should do it to everybody else.
And if he gets claimed by someone with a claim below him he should remove him from that team and put him on his team? That does not resolve the problem and would cause problems in the league. Is that what you would do as the commish?

Did you try switching it to droped players and free agents at game start?

Very true, and a good decision.

deenSat 4/17/10 4:47 PM
Nope, im not going to do that Lindy..I'll leave it as is, im more concerned about fixing the bug..

I know you wouldn't, but that is what rick was suggesting.
