I can't figure out how to do waivers now. Can someone tell how I'd do this setup
BBID waivers (you can start bidding at 1pm Sun until they run on Wed at 11pm) then we freeze waivers until Thurs night and open them up FCFS until Sunday 1pm kickoff. This used to be easy and I honestly can't figure it out now.
Also found a small bug, when you use the function to switch weekend schedules (we do that so everyone in the division plays each other weeks 1-3 and 11-13) when you go to switch weeks, the first time it doesn't work. You repeat it and then it works after the 2nd time, just FYI
Yeah, my league is very similar and I figured out how (I think so, at least. Won't know for sure until it happens correctly.)
Here is what I got, and you can let me know if something feels wrong here.
Under Commish Setup, click on General Add/Drop Setup.
Then make sure you check mark 'Blind Bid Requests for Locked Players, First Come/First Serve for the Rest'
This will allow you to have both Blind Bidding and First Come First Serve.
So, since blind bidding is for locked players, scroll down to where it says 'Lock all Free Agents each week on:" and enter Sunday at 1 pm, if that is when you want blind bidding waivers to begin.
Under the calendar, you can add 'Process Blind Bid Waivers' and set that for Wednesdays at 11 pm each week, and those should process.
Then, you can go to the calendar again and add 'No Add/Drops Allowed' and set that from Wednesdays at 11 pm until Thursday night at whatever time you want to open first come/first serve. Just be sure to then add to the calendar that on Thursday nights, 'Unlock All Currently Locked Players.' Then have that end on Sundays at 1, where the cycle should be complete.
I would assume that the system will immediately kick over to FCFS, since that is what you check-marked under general settings. Now, it doesn't make sense to not allow drops during that time (IMO), so perhaps you could just get on as commish and turn off waiver abilities or even leave them and monitor that nobody makes any adds until whatever time is specified on Thursday. Should go pretty smoothly as long as you don't have any chumps in your league that try to sneak something. If that happens just don't allow and adds/drops for that 24 hour(ish) period.
Hope I didn't confuse you. This is what makes sense to me, but perhaps there are easier ways.
