In the league I run we set the waiver period to be 1 sim+1 day (which works out the same as making it equal to 2 sims). I do 3 sim+1 day for DFA, a long time but I got tired of players running out of DFA time and me having to manually intervene. I give the extended time to hope GMs do their job. But at minimum I would do 2 sim+1 day for DFA.

The reason I do the +1 day instead of just an extra sim is we split each month into 3 sims so 2 10 day sims and the last sim could be 10 or 11 days.

For the DL I'd use the same logic, either 1sim+1 day or just 2 sims. I want the player to be on the DL for at least 2 sims to make it a tougher choice whether you DL a guy the who is out for a shorter period of time. If you DL the guy you loose him for 2 sims minimum even if he is hurt for a shorter period of time. Makes DLing a guy somewhat less automatic.

This is a league I took over using 10 day sims, if I started my own I'd do 7-day sims for two reasons: 1) to match the 7-day lineups feature and 2) the filter that lets you look at 'this weeks stats' or 'last weeks'. I think the cutoff is Monday (not 100% sure on that could be Sunday) but if you do 7 days sims starting on the right day that allows you to see how players did just during the last sim.
