Waiver Rules
1) After the trade deadline (and before September), any player can be placed on waivers. This would be done public on the transactions board with a separate thread for each player. The thread should have "[waiver]" in the subject title.
2) Other teams have 72 hours to make a claim on such player.
3) If a player isn't claimed by any team in either league, he can be traded until the end of the month to anyone.
If a player is claimed, but only by one team, the player can be traded only to the team that claims him. If a player is claimed by more than one team, the club with the worst record in that player's league gets priority (player's league has priority over other league) -- and the player can be traded only to that team.
4) A decision on the player must be made within 72 hours of the claim. If, within such a time frame, an agreement wasn't posted by both parties NOR was the waive canceled by the waiving team, then the player's contract is considered to moved to the claiming team in exchange for nothing.
5) Players may not be put on waivers after August 31st but all other waiver transactions will finish their time frames until completion (rescind waiver, trade, release, transfer).
6) 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.
7) Aside from the waiving team pulling back the waiver within the initial 72 hour period, all claims must be made in the 72 hour window and all deals must be announced after the second 72 hour window has completed.
Players eligible to be traded in a waiver deal are those who were claimed by the respective teams in the waiver deal and any player on a P-n/a contract (prospect contract whose clock has not started).
