RC VOTE: Waivers Redo, Voting by August 8th

[Corey]

Alright waivers are back.

[Colby]

Ben didn't vote, but Jake was able to chime in as an old-timer RC member.... I think we're good to go.

[rcankosy]

I'm impressed.  That might be the fastest we have ever come to agreement on anything. 

[OUDAN]

so do we need to repost all of our waivers again?

[Colby]

rcankosy - Haha, I think so!
OUDAN - Yes, all old waiver postings are INVALID.

[Brewers GM]

For the record, I'm YAY.

Are we also going to allow negotiations before claims are awarded?  It seemed most owners were in favor of that...

[Colby]

Private negotiations

[rcankosy]

7) A waiver may be canceled only if the player was claimed.  Cancellation of the waiver by the waiving team within the 72 hour negotiation period means that the player can no longer be on waivers that August and stays with their team.

Can we assume that the end of that sentence should read "stays with the team unless they are released."

Unless they are released is not needed at the end of the sentence.  If the player is claimed on waivers and then during the 72 hour negotiation period the waiving team cancels the waiver the player would come back to that team and can't be placed back on waivers in august.  Dropping the player would not be part of the waiver process and therefore doesn't need to be included in this rule.

Agreed Bob
