Winter Waivers Continues

After a brief hiatus while we identified three new owners and established their initial rosters, Winter Waivers is now back and ready to continue.

We'll begin by allowing the new owners to submit waiver claims for players who had cleared waivers during Winter Waivers Part 1. They'll be selecting players from this pool:
Winter Waivers Part 2, Round 1 (new owners only)

They will have until 6:00 PM Central time on Sunday February 3 to sumbit their claims.

The players they waive as a result of this initial round will then go through waivers which will be open to all 12 franchises. Along with the players waived on Feb. 3, teams will also be able to select from the players who were left over from last weekend's Dispersement Draft. This waiver pool can be viewed here:
Winter Waivers Part 2, Round 2 (full league).

This second waiver period will last until 6:00 PM Central time on Thursday February 7. We'll then continue the Winter Waivers process as usual -- subsequent rounds until we have a round where no one is selected.

Looking at what's available out there, I wouldn't blink - you may miss this second part of Winter Waivers. That round where no on is selected may come quickly...

Busy Day!

Two big bits of business were completed today:

  • CFCL owners voted to adopt a number of new rules or process changes. All of the changes that the Executive Committee recommended were adopted. You can read all the details on the voting in this News Flash.
  • Three new franchises joined the CFCL as Morkertzuma's Revenge, Moore Better, and Candy Colored Clowns drafted their initial rosters. I got to meet the new owners, and they all seem like great guys. A summary of the Dispersement Draft has been posted in the Draft Histories section of the website and rosters have been updated (both the Excel rosters in the Download Center and at Sportsline). It's great to be back at full strength!

Next up is the continuation of Winter Waivers, with the new owners taking a crack at the players who were left from the our inial pass. Once they've done one round with that, the players they waive will be added to the leftovers from the Dispersement Draft and we'll open the waivers up to everybody.
