Winter Waiver Process

Gentlemen -

Winter Waivers are due to me no later than 3pm on Sunday, January 3rd. Below I have pasted the Article in the Constitution that deals with the process and the claims. It's pretty self-explanatory, but if there are any questions, feel free to e-mail me. Thank you to the Kenndoza Line and Ruffins who have already submitted their cuts. The Rebels have submitted their cuts to the Executive Committee.

ARTICLE XVII. Winter Rosters and Winter WaiversBy 3:00 PM Central time on the first Sunday in January, each owner is required to submit to the League Secretary a list of 23 players, irrespective of position, taken from its combined Active and Reserve Rosters, but not including any players who have concluded their current contract (B or S contract players). This group of players becomes the winter roster.
NOTE: The date on which 23-man protected lists are due may be adjusted at the discretion of the Executive Committee if the New Year holiday falls on or near the first Sunday in January.
Immediately after the submission of winter rosters, a waiver period concluding at at 3:00 PM Central time on the following Thursday begins. Teams may select players who were waived. On claiming such a player, the claiming team must, in turn, waive a player from its own winter roster. Players thus waived become eligible for a second round of waiver claims, lasting until 3:00 PM Central time on the following Sunday, that are conducted in the same fashion. (unclaimed players from the first waiver period are no longer eligible.) The process continues on a Thursday-Sunday schedule until there is a period in which no one is claimed.
Players currently in the American League can be waived and claimed during Winter Waivers. American Leaguers claimed on Winter Waivers must be released if they are still in the American League in Roster Freeze Day.
Players on X contracts or long- term contracts cannot be waived during Winter Waivers. If, in special circumstances, an X or long-term contract player appears on the Winter Waiver list (for example, when the players remaining following a new owner draft are included in the waiver pool), the player's current contract status and obligations will remain in effect for the new team.
There is no limit to the number of players a team may claim in any given round of Winter Waivers. To claim more than one player, a team must submit a prioritized list of the players they want to claim. There should also be an accompanying list of the players the team will waive from their current roster should they receive any of the players they claimed.
Priority for claims will be in reverse order of the standings (the team that waived the player gets lowest priority), with the lowest-ranked team getting the first player on their list, the next lowest team getting the highest player on their list who is still available, and so on up through the standings. Selection then returns to the lowest-ranked team who still has players remaining on their list, and the process is repeated.
The salary of a player claimed on winter waivers stays the same as it had been before he was waived. His contract status becomes W, which will change to D if the player is kept by his CFCL team on the following Draft Day. The contracts of minor leaguers (M-contract players), as well as X and long-term contract players who are claimed on Winter Waivers remain unchanged.
After the first round of winter waivers, winter rosters may exceed or fall below 23 players through trading action. Whatever size the roster, however, any successful claim of a player on waivers must be accompanied by the placing of another player from the claiming team on waivers.
