    You should not be allowed to kok-block another member in your league by being higher in the waivers and picking up a free agent that they need and then dropping that player after they play on Thursday and picking up someone else. If you are willing to sacrifice a roster spot to kok-block someone, then you should have that roster spot locked for the remainder of the week if they have already played.
    that's why you have limited the benches. you're not gonna just pickup a player to cokk block.

      i think you're misunderstanding waiver wire system.

      the position only matters during waiver wire and not when the player is a free agent.

      oops never mind, deangelo williams wasn't a free agent.

          I vote SBR Ivy as league commish next year
          that's not the yahoo default rules. i think lt got cute with the waivers.

            that's determined by the commish, default is 6 spots total.

            but for our league we have 7.

                Yes this is correct but it should change once you've made a waiver pickup. You can't just keep getting the 1st choice that whole particular week! But apparently that's how it is.

                  LT. Just to be clear. If you and I are tied at 9-4, total points FOR is the tie breaker for 2nd seed? I'm ahead of you by 35.5 points so, although I'm not a mathematician, if your score this week is not 35.6 points more than mine and I lose, I still get the 2nd seed

                    this is the first year i've joined sbr fantasy so i don't know how it's been but couple things need to change next year.

                    division being one and waiver type being the other.

                    what's the point of having waiver wire position if the last place guy gets the first pick every time?

                      First tiebreaker to break division tie is division record. Total points is second tiebreaker.

                      See Post #1 of the league thread, all tiebreakers are there.

                        Oh I see. You already clinched division because you clinched point lead on me.

                          LT you've got to be kidding me. How could you even count division records when the schedule wasn't done accurately and everyone didn't play each other twice. Total points is always the 1st tie breaker.

                            I had been under the assumption that total pts was the 1st tiebreaker too.

                                Stealthy if you and Matty are tied do division record decide who makes the playoffs?

                                Stealthy what kind of bullshit operation is this?

                                Stealthy suffice to say I won't be invited back next year.

                                  If we have the same record I suppose it goes to points scored.

                                  But given the likely outcome of another game, we both may make it, IF we both win.

                                  I realize now how this setting could fukk me. Greaser claimed Williams and if he goes off tonight I could be shit outta luck.

                                  If we had different settings he probably would not have a chance to claim him.

                                  Phillyguy, yea I wouldn't expect you back next year

                                    Stealthy wait. So the tie breaker rules are different for division winners and those just battling for playoff seeding?

                                    Stealty if we had a normal, in every other league in the history of fantasy football waiver rule you wouldn't be facing Williams.

                                    Stealthy fuk it. Me and you in a two team fantasy league next year. You can have 1st pick.

                                      Did the rules change during the league? Where the rules made available before the start of the league? Did everyone read them.?

                                      I don't think LT would do shady stuff. But if he did, I want to know.

                                        No clue. Whatever LT said for your case would apply to ours. Does LT know?

                                            JMON let me make this perfectly clear. I don't believe LT has done anything shady I just think he didn't change any of the stupid default yahoo setting like a commish should. No one in week 1 is gonna read what the division tie breaker is. It goes without saying that points for is always a 1st tie breaker. The schedule wasn't even set up properly. In fact, the divisions are totally irrelevant when it comes to playoff seedings so why should "division games" matter anyway? If I lose 3 "division" games 160-159 and another team wins 4 games 60-59 who's teams better? Then the issue with the waiver settings!!

                                            I understand this is just a betpoint league but most that have played have invested 3 months of their time so want things done right.

                                              I think for all the b!tching philly has done the year, he should be eliminated from the playoffs. Guess I move up into the #6 spot.

                                                    Guys, just read Post 1 of league thread, all the tiebreakers have been listed since Day 1. It is just like real life, break division ties first before moving on to wild card/seeding tiebreakers.

                                                      Playoff Tiebreakers:

                                                      Division Leader
                                                      If two or more teams tie for the lead in a division, the following tiebreakers will be used to determine the division winner.

                                                      1. Division winning percentage.
                                                      2. Total fantasy points (season total).
                                                      3. Fantasy points scored in last week's matchup.
                                                      4. Fantasy points scored in the matchup two weeks prior.
                                                      5. The comparison continues until the tie is broken or no more weeks remain to compare. At that time, a coin flip will settle the tie.



                                                      Wild Card
                                                      If two or more teams tie for a wild-card position, the following tiebreakers will be used to determine the standings

                                                      1. Total fantasy points (season total).
                                                      2. Fantasy points scored in last week's matchup.
                                                      3 Fantasy points scored in the matchup two weeks prior.
                                                      4. The comparison continues until the tie is broken or no more weeks remain to compare. At that time, a coin flip will settle the tie.

                                                        We need Stephen Hawkings to make heads or tail on league procedures.

                                                        Anyone got him on retainer?

                                                            This is all I'm going to say about this, and besides, even with a loss this week I am tied with LT in "division" record (5-4 - 6 teams in division why not 10 games?) and I'll have more points than him. Makes no sense at all to have two seperate tie breaking rules.
