@nutildah. What time did you claim for D'Ernest Jones in the waiver wire? I am trying claim him also, I did it yesterday, about 5 AM forum time hehehe. Does the waiver wire give it to the person who claimed the player first?
Think of the waiver wire as a deck of cards, it has 8 cards with our names on them ordered to the inverse of our record and the tie breakers, or to put it simply the worst teams pick first, when your card is at the top you have the chance to pick someone from the waiver and who do you pick depends on: the waiver priority you assigned, the player you want is still available and whether or not you can drop the player you elected to drop, the time at which you made the selection makes no difference in the order in which all of this happens.Once you have selected a player your card which was at the top goes to the bottom and the second card now becomes the top and now a new manager has the chance to select a player from the wire.
Now if when the time comes a manager decides to not pick anyone or they cannot pick anyone as the player they wanted has already been grabbed by someone else from the wire then they still retain their position at the top and they are skipped from the subsequent rounds, this is useful during the next waivers as now you can pick some players which were cut from the rosters of other teams, this is what happened this week with DireWolfM14, which were at the 5th position at the beginning of this week and now they occupy the 1st spot.
