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.

Lett us bid on WED night. There is no need to keep having us bid on Tuesday night. That is so old school. Let's keep up with other paltforms.

Each NFL team by rule must announce their injury reports on Wednesdays. Until then we have no knowledge of injuries directly prior to us doing our Waivers on Tuesdays. By delaying 1 day it would make the process smoother and people would be able to place waivers for the appropriately uninjured players. I know for a fact that many people i talk to have used other Fantasy Apps/Websites due to this very reason. I find your system superior but this is a big sticking point for people that enjoy maximizing the waiver lists and not settling for hopefully uninjured players. Thank You

I am a commish for 3 leagues on yahoo and would love the ability to set the waiver processing time to "Game time - Wednesday". Practice and injury reports only start to come out on Wednesday, so in order to place waivers with the most amount of information available, I would like waivers to be processed on Wednesday night as opposed to Tuesday. If this isn't changed for next season, i will be taking my leagues to another site. I really don't want to - we love yahoo fantasy - but we need some more customizable options.

I think it should be pushed to about 10 or 11 AM est. Currently it process at like 1 AM pst, so all the free agent players are gone by the time I wake up.

The waiver clearing time of 12 PT is biased in favor of people on the west coast, who can stay up untill 12 and pick up free agents. On the east coast few casual players are able to stay up until 3AM ET to have the same option.

Hello, i emailed this recommendation last off season. Right now we are forced to do Tuesday night bidding. Players are on waivers sunday/ game time- tuesday. Can you please add an option where we can do waivers sunday/game time - wed. We want the extra day to make our bids and do our research. You were able to incorporate this change mid season due to covid. BUT...you kept toggling it back and forth all season. Please add this FAAB bidding option for us. Our league is very long running. Please listen to our feedback to help make our league and the platform better. I commsion an ESPN league and we have the option. I play on the FFPC platform and the first bidding night is wed night, not tuesday. Please and thank you

The waiver type choices are very slim. It would be better for many leagues if we can have more control over the process. For example, making the FAAB bidding time longer or shorter.
having more granular controls of this will stop leagues like mine from starting to look for a new site so we can customize the settings to our liking.

It‘s the dead of night for EST and CST players to make quick pickups while It‘s a fairly decent hour for Western and Mountain players. It‘s seems an obvious idea to process all waivers and run them all at the same time.11:00AM EST seems reasonable and fair to all.

Please allow us to set specific days and time to run the waiver wire. Sleeper does an amazing job at this, and I would love to see something similar in the Yahoo leagues I manage/play in.

Due to different time zones current free agency /waiver access benefits players on the West Coast. 3 am on East Coast when all Free Agents and Waiver updates become available.. East Coast all players are asleep any high end FA will be taken by the time Eastern players are awake... Can you make a time change where changes will be 12 noon Eastern / 9 am Western, this will give all players equal opportunity...

Please allow an option in leagues to set waivers to Wednesday night. All teams (other than Thursday night game) return to practice Wednesday. It gives fantasy players more clarity on injuries and depth charts to make better decisions rather than blindly throwing darts Tuesday night.

Not only that... a manager can cancel their waiver claim if they log in at 12 pacific time if they see another player they wanted doesn’t have a claim on them. That option should never exist.
No manager should ever know what player has a claim on them before waivers get processed. What kind of joke is that?

Hello,
Last year I emailed in asking for a Thursday morning bid run for FAAB bidding (instead of having to have the FAAB bids in on Tuesday nights). I was told that option would be added to yahoo FAAB options. It was not added. Now more than ever we need or want the wed night bidding to find out who our bids won on Thursday mornings. Can you please implement that options for this season and for all seasons to come.So to reiterate - we want and extra day to bid. We want to bid through wed night , see who we got thursday morning, and release all the players from waivers to free agents on thur morning.
please and thank you

This would be a great idea. Now i won’t sleep and could’ve already had my team available

Allow the commissioner to set what time waivers run. A 8pm waiver time would be a lot more exciting and wouldn’t make owners dread sleep to wake up to the fates. Also would allow for waiver parties.

Yeah, having this happen overnight gives an advantage to people in an earlier time zone who probably wake up earlier. Making this customizable will allow leagues to choose a time when everyone should be awake and have access to the site. Then it's a "fair" rush to free agent adds once the waiver period is over.

I am 100% sure you have that reversed. West coast has to get up at 3 AM to pick up players, while it is the east coast that can get up at 6 AM. I have this problem in my league and I live on the west coast. They should change the waiver time to 9 AM Pacific, because then it would be noon Eastern, and then no one has to be up in the middle of the night.

Totally agree. ESPN locks all FA until AFTER the waivers are processed. This is how it should be done!!!

Having them set to game time to Tuesday releases the waivers at 4:30AM ET, however Free agents are able to be picked up after 3AM before waiver go through. Please allow us to set a specific time this occurs.
