Please vote on this. It is to have first come first served waivers each week after the regular waiver period.

To make it fair to those who aren't near a computer at work it will open at 7PM thursdays until game time(first game)

Please vote on this.

For an in season change this should require a 2/3 (8 owners for) vote to change the rules.

No....big no!!
Old Country Humblers Date Sun Oct 14 8:15:17 p.m. ET 2007
I'm all for it.
DC Pack Fan Date Mon Oct 15 12:20:33 a.m. ET 2007
I vote yes as well. My only request would be to open it a little earlier in weeks with Thursday games.
Legends Date Mon Oct 15 1:15:41 p.m. ET 2007
To do this would be a free for all and not fair for the teams with worse records....thats why the NFL uses this system. Teams with the worst record get to go first.

I don't dispute that, that's why you leave the waiver system in place, just open it up after that process is completed. The teams with the worst record still have the opportunity to pick up the players first. After that it's first come first serve. I didn't understand the waiver system for the league, that's why I was without a kicker 2 weeks ago. I didn't worry about picking one up early because I figured there was no rush then when I tried to it was too late. If we open it up after the waivers are processed then this type of situation is corrected. It also allows a team to pick up a player to replace a late week injury. Anyway, it doesn't matter all that much, but given the choice I would still vote yes.

YES
Old Country Humblers Date Tue Oct 16 12:51:15 p.m. ET 2007
Strong yes, for all the reasons DC Pack Fan mentioned.
PackFan4 Date Tue Oct 16 3:30:50 p.m. ET 2007
Yep i'm down with that.
DC Pack Fan Date Tue Oct 16 3:49:32 p.m. ET 2007
Just a side note. I just clicked on waivers to submit a request and it says "Your league calendar indicates that owners cannot submit waiver picks now."

If you can only submit or process requests within a small window it defeats the arguement of giving an advantage to those with more access during the day. I'm just sayin

I'm fine with this, as well.
Hawk's Minions Date Thu Oct 18 8:11:53 a.m. ET 2007
Waivers are fine, I would just like it if after waivers cleared it would be fcfs until sunday. 
Packers Eh! Date Thu Oct 18 9:35:21 a.m. ET 2007
I agree that it should be FCFS after the waivers have run
Commissioner Date Thu Oct 18 9:49:11 p.m. ET 2007
That's 7. I think you would need 1 more to carry a change in season. It isn't written in the rules but think a pre season moved would require 7 votes but in season 8.

I support maintaining standings based waivers through Thursday, followed by a first come, first served waiver/add-drop period Fri-through opening kickoff.

Realistically, I don't think we can do FCFS on weeks with Thursday games.  It's important to respect the primacy of standings based waivers and give owners adequate time to research their waiver requests.
Commissioner Date Fri Oct 19 12:51:43 p.m. ET 2007
That's true. So it looks like FCFS waivers carried. I will open up at 7PM CT to give everyone a chance to participate. It wouldn't be fair to open without notice or fair to havc thrm open for those near computers at work.
Legends Date Fri Oct 19 8:03:12 p.m. ET 2007
FCFS waivers is now open.
Pacman's Legal Counsel Date Fri Oct 26 6:11:09 p.m. ET 2007
Okay, so should the waivers just be FCFS right now? The answer is yes, isn't it? It's still asking me to put in waiver orders and such, and I would really like a TE, since I didn't realize that mine is on bye before.
DC Pack Fan Date Fri Oct 26 8:29:09 p.m. ET 2007
I'm having a problem picking up a player as well. Same problem as Pacman's. It still is asking me to submit a waiver request.
Commissioner Date Fri Oct 26 9:42:18 p.m. ET 2007
For some reason it doesn't allow FCFS unless I process regular waivers first. I'll do them every friday at 5 now and then FCFS waivers will work. I don't know why it's doing this. It shouldn't.
DC Pack Fan Date Fri Oct 26 11:42:13 p.m. ET 2007
Thank you.:-D
Pacman's Legal Counsel Date Sat Oct 27 3:58:38 p.m. ET 2007
So, just to clarify, now we have two sets of waivers: one clears on Thursday noonish, and the other clears on Friday at 5 pm, after which its FCFS free agent pick-ups. Is that right?
Hawk's Minions Date Fri Nov 2 8:38:31 a.m. ET 2007
Whats the deal commish?  I thought after waivers ran it was FCFS.  I've been trying to pick someone up.
Commissioner Date Fri Nov 2 9:49:56 a.m. ET 2007
It never goes through automatically.
