Waivers in online leagues

I have some up with a scenario that I don't understand. Was curious if it is a bug or I have set it up wrong.

We sim 5 days a sim. I have waivers set up for 11 days and DFA set for 11 days to allow the owners 3 sims to see these and act.

We had a case where a player on the 40-man roster with a minor league contract was waived and DFA with pull back set. On the first sim he was claimed and the response the owner got was that the claim was rejected and the player no longer showed on the list.

On the second sim the same sequence occurred.

On the third sim it was stated that he cleared waivers and then was placed on the minor league team.

The owner who waived the player never got a message that he had been claimed.

Why was the player allowed to be claimed? and why was the player allowed to clear waivers and be demoted? Is there a setting I am missing?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks
Bill

that sounds like a bug. Perhaps you can have someone test this again? Once the player is on waivers and claimed if pullback is selected he should be removed from waivers and the owner should have to re-waive him.
