We released a new feature today that allows waiver claims to be resolved using a blind bid auction instead of (often rank-based) priority.
How it works
In the past claims for the same player were awarded to the team with the best waiver position.
Now you can use a blind-bid auction system. Here, players are awarded to the team that submits the highest bid (if there is a tie, the player will be awarded to the team with the worst rank). Each time one of your claims is processed, the bid amount will be deducted from your remaining budget.
How to set it up
Edit your league's waiver claim options and select the initial budget for each team (also editable on a team-by-team basis throughout the year).
You can manage your claims as usual on your team's waiver claims page.
How to test it out
If you are curious as to how this works or you want to help test this for football, create a baseball league. The waiver options are exactly the same as in football.
Let us know if there are any problems or if you have any suggestions.
that's a nice feature, but where are the finance tracking options? You know, I've posted about this ever since you guys took over for aol. I finally got a response the last time i posted of "we're working on it" well ladies and gentlemen, it's about a week away from most teams draft day and still no progress. Even if you charged $20.00 to enable that feature not only would you not lose any teams, you'd probably make a pretty decent little profit off of it. Most of the other sites charge up to 159.99 for a season and there's no guarantee you get what you want even after you pay it. Fleaflicker (like aol) has the most customizeable features on the market for free. it blows away yahoo, espn, fox, and cbs (believe me, i know) The only thing(s) missing are the finance tracker and the logos. As it stands right now, I have been doing all of the finances myself. It's the most strenuous part of my league. doing all the stats myself is ACTUALLY easier than doing the finances. Fleaflicker, PLEASE HELP!!!!! I've been an adamant poster on this topic and eagerly wait for a more accurate response. If I have to move all 3 of my leagues, I will, regrettably of course. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
But it's a matter of implementing the most commonly-used features first.
All I can promise is that when we do implement it you'll be the first person we ask for feedback and input on the design.
I saw your original thread on the suggestions forum. If you post what exactly you're looking for (the features that you need the most), that will help.
