Waivers will be starting on day 1 of free agency. All players waived before then will simply be added to the FA pool to be bid on.
The new waiver system will work as follows....
1) The waiver order to start off with will be the reverse of last season's final standings.
2) When a player is waived, he will enter waivers for the next 48 hours. If you wish to put in a claim for that player, you will need to send a PM to the Waivers Administrator account (which will be made in the coming days).
3) The team with the highest placement on the waiver order that claims a player will win that player, and then move to last place in the waiver order.
4) If you win a claim on a player you will pay half (50%) of the player's salary (the waiving team pays the other half still).
5) If a player goes through waivers unclaimed, he will become a normal FA and will be bid on as such.
6) In order for a player to "go through unclaimed," you need to send a PM to the waivers account stating that you nominate them, but don't wish to use a claim on them. If the player then passes through the 48 hours unclaimed he will become a FA.
7) If you send several claims at once, you need to list what your order of priority on each player is.
8) You are not allowed to go over the cap when claiming players.
Format for sending a claiming PM:
1) Thread subject should be player name.
2) For each player you wish to claim, send a different PM
3) Do not send waivers questions to the waivers account. Please address those to Mike or Alex
4) If this format is not followed your claims may not be counted. That is your own fault.
Amnesty Clauses will work as follows:
-Every current owner will receive one (1) amnesty clause.
-Every new owner who joins the league will receive an amnesty clause to use.
-This amnesty clause can be used to release any player on your team, with either no, or a lowered cap penalty. If the player's salary is below or equal to $20M a year, you will not need to pay anything after amnestying him. If the player costs over $20M per season, you will pay 50% of all salary above $20M for the duration of the contract. For example, if I have a player for $32M signed through 2014, I would owe $6M through 2014 after amnestying him.
-After being amnestied, a player will go to waivers. If he costs under $20M and is claimed, the claiming owner will owe him all of his salary. If he costs over $20M, the claiming owner will be responsible for all salary that the waiving owner is not paying. For example, after amnestying my $32M player, if he is claimed the claiming owner would owe him $26M a season.
-If the player goes unclaimed, he will become a normal FA to be bid on.
-Amnesty clauses are not tradable.
-Once you've used your amnesty clause you will not receive another one, so be smart about it.
Any questions? Feel free to ask away.
