Waiving Process
•An owner may waive a player at any time if that player’s services are no longer desired.
•Owners who waive a player will be assessed a cap penalty of 40% of that player’s salary in the current season.
Waivers:
To release a player, you must post a thread in the waiver forum containing his contract terms, if a waiver is posted without proper contract terms then it is not valid and the 24 hour clock will not start until corrections are made. Waivers will not be processed if they are not posted with the proper information. Fellow GM's will have 24 hours to claim the waived player. If he is claimed, no salary cap hit will apply. If he is not claimed you'll have to release him at a 40% cap hit for the remainder of the contract. That means if you have him signed for 3 years, the salary cap hit will apply for each of the 3 years.
A proper waiver post must contain the following:
•Title - Must have players name, position, current team or UFA if not signed.
•Players current contract length and price. ( EX- 1M (2018), 1M (2019) UFA
•Players cap hit for each year. (EX - .30M (2018), .30M (2019) UFA
*Each waiver post must have this information to be considered valid*
*One waiver post per player please - Each player that is waived must have their own thread. (No multi player waiver posts.)*
Waiver Claims:
Waiver claims must be posted on the waived player's thread within 24 hours. After 24 hours, the team with the highest "Waiver Priority" will be awarded the player and will assume the existing contract. It doesn't matter what order claims are posted. The team being awarded the player will then move to the bottom of the Waiver Priority. Waiver Priorities are reset after each season to the reverse order of finish. The priority starts the same as our draft order (set after each season's Super Bowl). Once a GM posts a waiver claim, then they are official and cannot be removed.
Waiver priority will run on the previous season record of finish, folowing the same rules as the draft order. During the inaugral season waiver priority will be the opposite order of the inaugral draft.
Conditional Waivers:
You may conditionally waive a player in order to place a bid on a free agent (or to claim a player on waivers or to make a trade) which would have put you over the roster limit. State that the player is conditionally waived pending winning free agent "X" (or being awarded a waiver claim or having a trade approved). Teams may claim this player like any other waived player, but you would retain the conditionally waived player if you do not acquire your targeted player.
Unclaimed Waivers:
If a player is waived and not claimed within 24 hours there will be a 40% cap hit for every year of the contract. That player becomes a free agent, and the same rules apply to that player as they do to all free agents. The owner who released that player will be able to enter bids for this player if they so choose.
