Waivers - Customizable waiver processing time.
This will allow commissioners to choose when their league's waivers process. Currently, there is no option to change what time waivers run.

I play in a H2H league with people across time zones. The East coasters have (or people that just don't sleep) are able to pick up players first thing Monday morning before others are even awake. People shouldn't have to sacrifice sleep to gain an advantage in fantasy.
Suggest a waiver option that would force all players through waivers at the start of every week or matchup. Even better if you can customize to daily, so a player is placed on waivers once their game starts, or after the final game of the day, and then becomes a free agent after waivers run the following morning.
The current options either place everyone on waivers at all times, or only when they're dropped. This would be a compromise between the two

I have been playing fantasy sports on Yahoo for many years. I am surprised there is not an option to change the time daily waivers begin and even more surprised that the chosen time is 3am EST. For my buddies and i, professional working people who go to sleep in the evening and wake up after 3am to have to put in waiver moves before the night games end, or even begin, makes no sense. We prefer yahoo to other sites for its ease and familiarity but we are forced to use a different website due to this inconvenience. Thank you for listening...

Hello, I'm in Yahoo Public 36417 League and have stayed 12th on the Waiver list for the last few weeks while others in my League receive Players off of the Waiver wire without going down in their rank. I've noticed this happening to others in my League as well. Is the Waiver Ranking Broken? And I too enjoyed the old system of first come first serve. I've lost Number 1 Ranked Players to injury and had to wait for my player's status to be updated to be Droppable while others go after the player's replacement I've been stuck with not being able to replace my player nor is my waiver ranking bumped up to reflect the player that was lost and the time endured for that undroppable player's status to change to droppable. Please change this broken part of the Waiver Wire System. Thanks

What is wrong with the way it used to be and is still used on the other platforms, adds and drops at the moment their made. If it's after the games start, then it processes the next day. But at least you know the player you're getting instead of the possibility of having to wait another day without the an active player. I don't know why they changed to having to wait and bid on the player pool. That sucks.

Time window is only in the a.m. which isn't good for everyone. If live out west the games can start mid-morning sometimes which limits ability to set lineups throughout the week, especially when trying to pick up players for the next day's games. Those on the east coast can access those players to pick up several hours ahead of time, unless I set my alarm for the middle of the night. NOT...

We want to be able so spot start same day with availability to all daily after 8am so the guys that wake up
For work at 3am stop dominating the league with the best available starting pitcher every day. -

Basically, whomever is the first person to wake up has a huge advantage in any league. If waivers were a certain time from when they were released it would be fair for everyone, but at least allow commissioners to pick a time.

Currently, you have to first place a player IL before you can make waiver claim. If you place two or more players on the IL, then you have no control on who you pickup if you place multiple waiver claims for multiple players on the IL.
There is no option to attach a waiver claim to a player and place them on the IL instead of dropping them, then this will be a huge inconvenience for our league throughout the entire season. There will be manual adjustments every week. -

any time is going to ***** an owner in one time zone and benefit another owner on the other side of the country. So it really doesn't matter.

I had the same question about the 3am EST pickup time but I don't follow what waiver priority has to do with it. I don't understand why pickups can't just be made at anytime of the day and if the person has already played that day then the player does not become available on your roster until the following day (this is similar to how football functions, it just says the player becomes available the following week). I suggested they add a work around where you could schedule transactions to occur at a later time but the only problem with that would be what if someone else came along to acquire that player in the meantime.

This single issue caused over a decade of epic fights in my league and the bitterness continues.
Not being able to adjust the transaction time, gave an edge to west coast managers. I understand the players need to be updated for the following day and 3 am seems like the right time, but leagues should have the option of not letting players who were set in lineups be cut until 6-9 am EST, so as to not give westcoasters making midnight pickups have an advantage.

Yeah, true for us night workers but you guys have an advantage on making roster adjustments on daily lineups that I often miss because I'm sleeping. Football is the worst for me. I have to set an alarm for 9am pacific time after a few hours sleep to make moves. Same in Baseball especially for day games. So, it swings both ways, and Yahoo already made changes to their public leagues in Basketball comcerning your complaint. As a result, Indont play those anymore because East Coast 9-5ers have too much of an advantage now

Yes! This also gives East coast managers a big advantage.

Is it possible to change the waiver/day turnover time? As set currently, the first available time to complete Free Agent pickup and still persevere your waiver priority position is 3am EST. Based upon this setup, individuals (with ample time on their hands) are rewarded for staying up or waking up at 3am EST and making a pickup. This puts some individuals (most of whom have a job) at a disadvantage as 3am EST just does not work someone who is on a typical work schedule. Not sure if this is doable, but the current setup is less than optimal.

Allow leagues to specify when their waivers process instead of sometime overnight. There are 2 benefits to this. 1) It can be set for a time when everyone should be awake and can make a post-waiver add. Example: east coast people would be up earlier than west coast people. 2) It would allow for leagues with nightly waivers to continue using the Daily-Tomorrow setting but allow the added player to be available the next day. Example: set waivers for 11 PM and the claimed player is available tomorrow. With its current 2-3 AM time, it's already the next day and therefore it's actually 2 days until you can use the player.

YES. We should be able to select the time of day we want waivers to run. Every other major fantasy baseball platform has this.

Exactly what I want. We have players spread from Portugal to California.
As a side note, the Red Sox play one game a year that starts at 11:05 AM, so I would have it go through before that...
