Bowman Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 The guy in question is the commish of my league, and a good friend of mine. So I wanted to get some other opinions before i bring it up to him. He has the #1 waiver claim. Yahoo shows that waivers processed at 4:08am this morning. But somehow, it shows that he added Geronimo Allison as a free agent at 4:06am, and then Phillip Dorsett as a free agent at 4:09am. So the progression went: 4:06am - Geronimo Allison FA add 4:08am - All waivers process for the league 4:09am - Phillip Dorsett FA add Does that seem odd to anyone else? The guy still has the #1 waiver claim after all this. It very well might just be a timing thing with Yahoo, but it seemed strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpmeout Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 It could be a timing issue, anyway you can find if anyone else in the league submitted a waiver claim on Allison or Dorsett? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Jefe 92 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I'd guess it's a Yahoo timing deal. I cant say that with 100% confidence though. You can either mention something in a friendly way or wait until next week and see how the timing works. If the timing works different next week, bring it up. Snapshot the progression of timing so you have proof to show them. It does seem suspicious though, I'll give you that. In ESPN, all the waivers processed at the exact same time so that definitely seems odd. If it was me, I'd snapshot it and simply ask.

Bowman Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thank you all for the input. I talked to the guy about it. He's been our commish for over a decade, and never done anything remotely shady before, so I give him the benefit of the doubt. His explanation was that he was online and checking his leagues late. He saw that waivers were in a pending status, but not yet processed. He was able to pick up anyone as a FA that wasn't already claimed and in pending status. Yahoo usually will send a notification if any league settings change. And that did not happen. So I tend to believe him, and that this was just a timing issue. Thanks again for the input.

Montana is da Man Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Yahoo generally runs waivers between 2 and 3am EST but it may not process until after 4am. If you log after it runs but before it processes, you can see who is a Free Agent and has not been claimed off waivers. This gives that person a huge advantage with picking up free agents and not using their #1 WW priority This happens all the time in my big league, please wake up at 3:30am to get the best free agents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inziladun Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I can vouch for your commish. Yahoo is weird like that and unclaimed players become free agents BEFORE the waivers actually process. I've been up before and have actually seen claimed players labeled on waivers and all unclaimed players listed as free agents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
