FA/WW system in Yahoo??

[bmault]

I wanted to set up a basic league for some first year players and a few veterans. I felt the easist FA/WW system would be one in which the worst team gets the first pick of a player and the second-worst team chooses next etc. etc. as the week goes on. Is this possible to set up in Yahoo? If not, what's another solution? In my other leagues we do first-come first-served, but that may penailze newer players who arent as gung ho as the rest of us.

thanks

There are two order options (that Im aware of). 1st is record, which changes from week to week. the second is my preferred way, which is to set it reverse of the draft order, then you lose your spot when you take a player.

The other setting I would recommend is their two day lockout, which freezes pickups from 1pm Sunday to Tuesday night, and puts all players unowned on waivers at that time. After the ww is processed everyone else is a free agent, minus dropped players.

My league I have setup so that your waiver position is determined by the reverse order of the standings, the last place team has waiver 1 and the 1st place team has waiver 12 and this changes each week depending on each team's position in the standings. Gives the worst team the best chance to acquire a player on waivers.

Previous poster also made a good suggestion in setting all players to waivers from Sunday to Tuesday, this gives everyone a fair crack.

Ya. I would never do a all-times free for all league. I actually go to the games 8 Sundays a month, and go out most of the rest, the last thing I want to see is someone camping the league homepage and getting all the top guys cause he sits at home on game day. Having it open on Tuesday night lets everyone assess their needs AND see who is hurt/out/signed/benched from the previous week.

But i agree, two day freeze is best, but then use FAAB
