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 like the idea. Last season we stared using the Continuous Waiver with a Free Agent Acquisition Budget, so we relied on bidding on players over the waiver priority. The waiver priority was still in effect as a tie-breaker for bids of equal amounts. We set our waiver processing to Everyday.
This reduced the number of "last guy up" scenarios but a waiver claim deadline set by the Commissioner could be a very useful tool for each league. -

Normally, a player that goes on waivers is on for a minimum of 2 days. That gives every manager in the league a chance to submit a waiver claim. The manager with the highest waiver priority will get first shot, not the person that submits the first waiver claim.
If 12 submits a claim 2 days before the waiver date and 1 submits a claim 5 minutes before waivers runs, 1 will get the player.

When using continuous waivers, the waiver time needs to be adjustable for each individual league (ESPN has had this feature for a while). The reason my league switched to continuous waivers was so that when breaking news occurred (callup to majors, injury, new closer, etc.) the person with the highest waiver priority would have first chance at acquiring the player, rather then the person who saw the news first. We live on the east coast so when news breaks late at night, with waivers processing at 11:59PM PST, the person in our league who's up the latest will almost certainly get that player because nobody else will be able to put in a claim because they wouldn't have seen the news until the morning. For our purposes, we would need waivers to process around noon EST. Having waivers process at noon also allows us to claim players in the morning/early afternoon and have them added in time to our roster to use them in games that same day.
