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.

Allow the option of a defined free agent period in continuous waivers. This would allow commissioners to set a free agent period on Sunday mornings and prior to MNF kickoff to guard against late injury scratches.

Sounds good to me.

I like this and would also be open to have customize on when your league would process waiver claims. Say every morning at 9am.

People please vote for this, just makes sense to have that option and in my opinion that's the best choice for the free agency process (again other sites have already figured this out).

Currently the waiver wire process requires a choice, we can either run the FAAB process every night and not allow pickups on Sundays before the games, or we can run FAAB once a week but have pickups in a free-for-all format throuhgout the entire week.
My league (and assume most others) would like an option to run FAAB every night and have add/drops on Sunday morning in case of injury announcements. CBS and many other websites have already implemented this. Yahoo has the best overall interface out there but my league may have to switch if the waiver rules remain in their archaic state. Please please please get this done Yahoo.
Thanks,

This would not be possible. The two waiver methods are different and cannot be blended.

We have daily continuous waivers so first to phone doesn't get the player mid week when news hits. Been doing it for two years now. Two questions about this:
- every Sunday I have to open waivers for last minute drops. Can this be automized.
- Can we combine daily waivers with gametime to Tuesday? The idea here is Thursday guys don't come off waivers until Tuesday, not Friday. Everyone has lots of time to put claims in.
