Waiver - Allow commissioner to use continuous waivers with custom free agent periods
This waiver setting would allow the commissioner to use 'Continuous' waivers but also be able to select days that all players are free agents. For example, the league uses continuous waivers (players always on waivers) and the waivers process each night but on Thursdays, Sundays, and Mondays all players will be free agents and be eligible to be picked up in the event a team needs a substitute.

Would love (NEED) a waiver setting which combines "continuous" and "game time"
How it works: Waivers run every night from Tuesday night to Saturday night and everyone remains on waivers during that stretch. After Saturday nights waivers the remaining unclaimed players are changed to FAs until their game time so people have the ability to make last minute changes incase of injury or whatever.
This takes away the mid week "if you get an injury alert first you get the player free off of FA" that never feels right but it still gives teams flexibility on Sunday/Monday for those game time decisions.
Some competitor sites already have this ability.. I want to remain with yahoo but this is a big issue IMO I hope the option is there next season. customizable waivers please!!
Also, for guillotine the ability to add roster spots not just bench spots during the season would be nice!
thanks

WIth the extended waiver process, managers can effectively see what players (color coded) are not going to be picked up in waivers and are able to select players to pick up an hour or more before waivers run. See "Big 10 Huskers" league for example as a manager picked up a player at 3:30am and waivers ran after that at 4:24am this morning. Been a yahoo league commissioner for 15 years, but this is a justifiable reason to move to another service.
Thanks for consideration,

I have our league setup for FAB continuous waivers that process Wednesday through Sunday. However, I really want to set up first come, first served for free agents on Sundays and Mondays in case there are last minute injuries. Is that possible to be set up in yahoo by the start of the season? I know that customization is available on Sleeper and ESPN.

There needs to be an option to combine “continuous rolling waivers” with “game time - Tuesday” lockout period.
For example, my league has continuous daily waivers FAB, but this means that Sunday players need to be bid on by SUNDAY night and process Monday morning. This is both stressful and too soon to get real injury updates to make informed bids.
The only option now is to uncheck Monday as a process day, but if we do that, then no one can pick up players for a Monday game, which is not a realistic option.
There needs to be a way to have continuous daily waivers but still lock players from game time - Tuesday, so that monday waivers can still process but without Sunday (and Thursday) players, who would be locked until Tuesday night.in addition to this, there should also be an option to change the time waivers process (e.g., 12pm instead of 3am), so that continuous daily waivers won’t restrict you from picking up someone sunday morning if there is last minute injury news.

Yahoo is definitely lagging behind on this feature. My league is considering moving to another platform due to the lack of this feature alone. Especially since ESPN and Sleeper have this option available.

Our league would love this feature as well. Using daily waivers with the exception of Sunday (player ruled out last minute; FAs available to plug holes).

Add option to waivers so that you can pick certain days that waiver rules selected are followed but also allowed select days that all players available are free agents ( Like Sleeper has)

Any movement on this DEV team? There seems to be a lot of interest and I may also have to move my league to another platform that has this option for waivers.

This post is 2 years old. Not just that, but It's been 24th since the comment below me in October for 2022. Yahoo, why are you not doing even a single thing that the community wants to see?

Agreed with most everybody here. This request should be ranked higher than 24th. I don't know how many times I got screwed by your waiver system. That was why my previous league moved to another platform. Now that I joined a buddy of mine's league, I have to put up with this irritating feature again.
