I know how waivers works or should work. When someone asks when they can start making moves and you answer simply at midnight that does nothing to answer his question. Putting in waiver claims and offering trades aren't officially moves unless they are accepted.
Not a pro at this lol.
Maybe as the commish you should make sure you explain it correctly to people when they ask a question.
Honestly the system is a little confusing for me, why are players who no one ‘owned’ last week on a queue? Is it to keep some nerd like me from jumping in and doing all my moves at 12:01? When no one else has the chance?
That comment was towards me and stupid. Instead of helping explain the process to you he chose to be super confusing and not explain anything.
You can release players, agree to trades, and change your lineup. The only move you can't make is a waiver pickup because its waivers...
You didn't ask when waiver claims go through. The week resets, and it opens up every type of move including waiver claims. If you wanted to know when waiver claims are processed, you should've asked "When do waiver claims het processed" and I would've happily told you.
Yes, thats exactly why. Players could have enormous value if theyre a backup of a player that just got hurt or had a big week. It's that way in every league I've ever played in and it's never been questioned. If there were no waivers you could stack up on whoever you wanted and make multiple additions before anyone else. It also wouldnt allow the worst teams in the league a chance to recover.
I'm referencing Eric. Yes thats correct.
Got it. Thanks for answering my questions.
He asked when you can MAKE MOVES and you said at midnight. You didn't explain shit but it was obvious that he was talking about picking up free agents and you simply told him midnight. Don't try to act all high and mighty, this isn't about me. It sounds like he didn't even know what waiver claims were so I think he deserved a better answer than "midnight".
Congrats on the victory in week 1!
I had an idea of what waiver claims were, I just didn’t have a great understanding of how the systems in place worked. It’s been a long time since I’ve played fantasy. Kind of on me to go figure stuff out too. I think I’ve got it it at this point so I’m good.
Thanks! Really good post. There’s a lot of guys on my team that I was frustrated with lol, so I had that urge to be like, “You, you, and you, you’re all fired”. It’s week on though so can’t over react too much.
You realize that waiver claims are one of multiple different types of moves right? So how is it obvious?
Nah man, quit putting this on me. As commish it's your responsibility to make sure people understand the process. Making a waiver claim or making a trade offer is not making a move. You failed to answer his question leaving him confused (and me too). Instead of taking the time to explain it better you chose to come at me so it's rather funny that you would say I'm being annoying.
As of midnight you can agree to and push through trades, release players, and make lineup changes. Those are all moves, and you know it, so cut the bullshit. The roster essentially unfreezes at midnight, and you know what I'm talking about. Instead, you come in here acting dumb as if the only fantasy football move that could made is the immediate acquisition of a player, just to try to push my buttons.Nah man, quit putting this on me.

It's not my fault your team sucks, ha ha ha.
Thanks man! Looks like Jennifer tried hard enough this week too - that's your team right?
Bones, you are being such a freaking hypocrite right now. You came at me with the comment "A "fantasy football pro" should know how waivers work..." Don't make comments like that and then get all fucking butthurt when I respond.
Apparently our commish can make jokes and call me out but if I respond I'm being mean, annoying, and don't know how to keep it light.
I replied that to you because you came in here trying to annoy me with what I just described.
I hope you see how "So you can't make moves at midnight like you said"? comes across. It's as if you're saying :So what you said is bullshit?"... and then you nitpicked my explanation to death, nitpicking what qualifies as a roster move to you and started all this arguing bevause you interpretted simething different than me.
Not only is that BS, but its also more of you attempting to annoy me, and you're accomplishing it.
There are new teams in this league, including me. Someone didn't know the process and your answers confused me. It's pretty important that the people in your league know the rules. Like I said I was coming at it from the perspective that I thought it was obvious he was talking about adding/dropping free agents, not anything else, so I wasn't nitpicking what you were saying because it never even crossed my mind that he was asking about when he could set his lineup or make trade offers.
That's cool.
