Guillotine league feedback: add weekly low-score waiver reseed + show weekly scores list
Hi Yahoo Fantasy team, (and yes, Warning: I did use ChatGPT to make my rambling thoughts make sense)
Our league has been running for years, and we were excited to try a full Guillotine format on Yahoo this season. First, thank you—the auto-cut feature has been great (despite one hiccup last week). The two places that are making commissioner work harder than it needs to be are waivers and weekly score visibility.
1) Waiver priority options (feature request)
In our commissioner settings, the tooltip suggests there are multiple waiver types, but we only see:
Continual Rolling List (CRL)
FAAB w/ CRL tiebreak
Our Guillotine rules reseed waivers weekly based on that week’s actual scores: the lowest remaining score gets first priority, the next lowest gets second, and so on. Right now, I have to manually reset the order every week.
Request: Add a new waiver type
“Weekly Low Score Resets Continual Rolling List.”
Intended behavior:
At the end of each scoring week, among all surviving teams, sort by that week’s score (ascending).
Lowest weekly score → Waiver #1
Next lowest → Waiver #2
…highest weekly score → last
Process claims CRL-style during the week.
On ties, apply a standard tiebreak (e.g., season points to date, prior CRL position, fun automated coin flip animation, etc.).
Why this helps: This is a common Guillotine rule set, removes manual reseeding, and makes priority transparent for managers.
2) Weekly scores list (UX request)
To manually reseed now, I need each team’s Week N score. Previously, we could view a single list of final weekly scores; this year, I only see projections and season totals in list form. To get actual Week N totals, I have to open each team page one by one.
Requests:
Add a single “Weekly Scores” table (Scoreboard → Week X or a tab under Standings) showing all teams’ final points for that week, sortable and exportable (CSV).
(Nice to have) A commissioner action: “Set waiver order from Week X scores” to automate the reseed.
Small QA note
The “?” help text implies more waiver options than we can select—if that’s legacy text or conditional, please align the UI/help so commissioners aren’t confused.
TL;DR
New waiver option: Weekly Low Score Resets CRL (reseed by that week’s scores).
Show a league-wide Weekly Scores list (final totals) and optional “Set waiver order from Week N scores” action.
Thanks for continuing to invest in Guillotine support—these two tweaks would make Yahoo the best home for this format.
Best,
Geoff
