Online leagues and in-game waivers

chrisj · 04-19-2004, 05:07 PM

Has anyone running a league thought of what they might do for in-game waivers?

The way I see it, it would take 3 sims to do:
Sim 1) Place a player on waivers & export and a new file comes out with players on waivers.
Sim 2) Teams place their claims.
Sim 3) Teams decide if they want to pull their players off waivers, or let them go.

The problem is, in many leagues this could take 3 game weeks - even longer in some leagues!

Has anyone come up with a better way? Or will most people just leave the option off? (Or do it outside of the game?)

Yeah this could be a problem. Maybe the best way to do it is to go back to the old method of using a league forum to do waivers in a timely manner? Do it outside of the game itself? Otherwise it will take weeks to get it done.
