Impacted Rule: 8.3 Explanation: This rule also needs to be changed because it is not working as intended. The idea behind it is that weaker teams should be given waiver priority but that is not how it has worked. One example should suffice: TE Julius Thomas of Denver became a hot commodity early in the past season after becoming a favorite target of Peyton Manning. There were three waiver claims made on him, two by teams who failed to make the playoffs in the previous year, and one by the loser of the KRFL Super Bowl. As the rules are written, the Super Bowl team was given preference in acquiring the player. My fix is simple.
Old Rule: 8.3 - After the first week of play only, Waiver Claim Free Agents will be awarded based on the previous season's standings, with the poorest team drafting first, etc. After the second week of play, Waiver Claim Free agents will be awarded based upon each teams current:
a. winning percentage b. head-to-head c. division wins d. conference wins e. net points f. power rankings
New Rule: 8.3 - Waiver Claims throughout the season will be awarded based upon the year's draft order during week one and the game's Power Rankings thereafter.
