I noticed "Determine waiver priority by" is set for continual rolling list which is yahoo default.

We had "Reverse order of standings" last year.

Should we vote on this setting?

Difficult choice, I like the reverse order of standings better since it adds to the excitement of the league as a bad team has the chance of improving itself and get a surprise win or two, and while without a doubt it is a handicap for those at the top, whoever wins will win despite the handicap which will be an even greater display of FF skill.

However I will give my vote to the 'continual rolling list' as i think it is the setting which is the most fair out of the three.

Also do you know what is the order of the tie-breakers?

I also changed "Lock Eliminated Teams" setting as it was set to no and there is no good reason for a team that has been eliminated from both consolation bracket and playoff bracket to be changing its roster.

I agree with this. It's only going to apply to the last two weeks of the season anyway.

+1, it seems like a sensible choice to me.

I'm good with whatever everyone else wants.

I'm gonna recommend we set a time for settings votes and if no-one disagrees I think 4 days prior to draft should be a good cutoff.
That gives people almost 3 more days to get their votes in.

I prefer ^vote "continual rolling" over "reverse order of standings"! People shouldn't be punished for having a good season/record...everyone should have a fair chance at getting the #1 waiver priority throughout the season.

Quote from: DireWolfM14 on August 25, 2022, 03:45:26 PM

Reverse order of standings would help those that get shafted in the draft or had some bad luck with injuries. It would also make the league more competitive as time goes on, and maybe prevent any one from getting discouraged and quitting. I'm okay either way, but I think I like reverse order of standings better.

So yeah looks like this needs to go up for a vote.

My thoughts are torn on this, on the one hand I think everyone should have a chance at the top waiver but on the other hand I was literally kept alive by the setting we had last year and it did make it much more fun for me being in last place most of the season. With my injuries last year I think I ended the season with only one player I drafted! Cheesy

So I'm going to abstain on this vote unless we need a tie breaker at the end.

This is the description of the setting:

Quote

If waivers are enabled, all players dropped from a team's roster are immediately placed on a waiting period from zero to seven days to give all managers a chance to claim those players. Choose the waiver processing option best suited for your league.

In a normal waivers systems, waiver priority determines which manager's request is processed first.

Continual rolling list: waiver claims are processed in waiver priority order and each successful claim moves a manager to the end of the waiver priority list
Reverse order of standings: waiver claims are processed in reverse order of standings and successful claims do not affect waiver priority list
Weekly rolling list based on standings: waiver claims are processed in reverse order of standings and each successful claim moves a manager to the end of the waiver priority list

Also we have 8 days until draft so we need to make sure everyone that is going to vote on the settings has done so so we can be certain all the settings are correct and we should have that done by a week before draft I would think.

So everyone take the time to look through the league settings and make sure they are what you want and if not bring it up right now.

Alright thanks for the confirmation guys, Wolf I just sent over the .0025BTC and shot ya a message with the tx.

Getting so close, hope ya'll have been studying up ! lol. Honestly I think I've done more studying this year than I ever have. I changed jobs and now working from home (at least most of the time) I've had a pretty easy first couple months with a lot of free time in between meetings and what not. Pretty sure it'll be my worst year ever despite that lol.

Also I made the league public viewable in case anyone wants to share the link while its running.

I am finally in! Grin

It should be obvious which is my team but just in case it is the South Park Q/Cows Reloaded (SPQR)

Is that the draft order? And yep that's muh squad Eli 2 vs Brady 0. Suck it Brady. He forever has to go down as the best quarterback ever but got punked anytime he seen the giants in the superbowl lol.

And that is the reason I believe he belongs to the HOF, it is true that when we look at this stats Eli is not the best, especially his wins and losses which are exactly the same, but the HOF is not only about numbers, it is about the memories, and while people understood how big the win of the NYG was at SB XLII, people did not really understood at the time how big the win at SB XLVI was, Brady is now 7-3 at the SB, which is ridiculous, and two of those defeats came at the hands of Eli, and that is HOF worthy if you ask me.

And when we add he comes from NFL royalty and played at NY I do not see how he is not going to eventually get enough votes to get to the HOF, besides the only QB with two SB wins not in the hall is Plunkett and I do not think the same will happen to Eli.

I'm a die hard Bears fan and have always "hated" this guy, but lately I've been watching interviews with him (His interview with Pardon My Take / Big Cat is amazing, I highly recommend watching it) and he's honestly started to win me over a bit. I love that he came out and spoke about taking ayahuasca. As someone whos "heard stories" of taking psychedelic's, it can absolutely open your mind in a way of helping to self improve. Not to mention there's some serious health benefits that are starting to really come in to the mainstream view, and good on him for breaking down barriers in that sense.

I've never made a secret about my mancrush on AR12. I was a fan from his days at Cal Berkeley. He was from northern California, and grew up a Niners fan. Everybody was sure the we were going to pick him with the first OAP. Conversely, I've never made a secret of my disdain for Mike Nolan for taking Alex Smith instead.

I don't necessarily agree with all his Holly Weird philosophies, but yeah it's good to see some people with unpopular views become uncancelable.

How were picks chosen, I think someone mentioned they were going to use the blockchain to do so? Sorry I should know some of this stuff but have limited time to review past posts atm...new job, work has been insane.

I picked last in 2021, but ended up winning the league. It was all luck, and only when it counted, it seemed. I didn't have a great season, even got beat by uncle nutildah when he was a no-show. Roll Eyes
