| 1. | What time are players available again when enabling the option to prevent moves from kickoff of their game until the last game of the week?
Answer: You can enable this setting on the For Commissioner > Setup > Waivers/Free Agents Setup and choose the option: "Prevent Owners From Making FCFS Waivers/Free Agent Moves Between Kickoff of that player's game and the end of the last game of the week?"
These players are then available exactly 4 hours after kickoff of the last game of the week. So if the final game is on Monday @ 8:30pm ET, they unlock Tue @ 12:30am ET.

| 2. | Why do players appear in the First Come,First Serve Waivers when I turned on the option to prevent these?
Answer: If you enable this setting on the For Commissioner > Setup > Waivers/Free Agents Setup and choose the option: "Prevent Owners From Making FCFS Waivers/Free Agent Moves Between Kickoff of that player's game and the end of the last game of the week?"
The players will not be able to be added or dropped once kickoff of their game has occurred for First Come, First Served Waivers or through the Acquire Free Agents. This does not apply to Waiver request or Blind Bidding.
These players will still appear on the FA lists and rosters on the waiver screens, but owners will receive an error when trying to add/drop these players.
These players are then available exactly 4 hours after kickoff of the last game of the week. So if the final game is on Monday @ 8:30pm ET, they unlock Tue @ 12:30am ET.

| 3. | How do I View All Previously Processed Waivers?
Answer: The commissioner can view all previously process waivers in the For Commissioner > Previously Processed Waivers.
To allow owners to view the same previously processed waivers report that appears under the For Commissioner you will need to enable this setting in the For Commissioner > Setup > Abilities Setup. Check the boxes for each owner to be able to view this report and the report will then appear in the Reports > Franchise > Previously Processed Waivers.
Note: If you only wish for your owners to see the awarded players (and not all requests or bids) you will not want to enable this setting and instruct them to only view the Reports > Franchise > Transactions. Here they only can view all Waiver Moves and their own individual requests or bids.

| 4. | Why are owners getting an error message stating "League Rules Permit Only 2 Waiver Moves Per Week - No More Waiver Moves Allowed This Week" when our waivers processed last Thursday and it's now the following week?
Answer: Since a waiver week runs from kickoff through kickoff of the starting game of two successive weeks, you most likely made two waiver moves after a Thursday kickoff.
To adjust your waiver week go to the Waivers/FA Setup screen to define the "For purposes of the above weekly transaction limits, a week starts at" option and define a time you wish your week to begin.
If the owner has already reached this limit you may also have to go to the Setup > Edit Number of Waiver Moves to adjust the number of moves made in the week.

| 5. | Why can't my owners make waiver moves?
Answer: There are several possible reasons for this including:
• The current League Calendar does not have its events properly defined for your league with respect to Thursday Games.
• The league has not been defined to allow franchises the ability to perform waivers in the Abilities Setup screen.
• The current League Calendar screen has been defined to presently use a 'No Waivers Allowed' event.
• Your league is in the middle of an online draft. Waivers will resume once the draft has been completed.

| 13. | Why are some players able to be picked up right away and others you have to make requests for?
Answer: You have set up your league to separate free agents from true waivers. This means that only players recently dropped from a team (or waived) will be available via waivers, while all others players will be available immediately via First Come - First Served.
To turn this option off please go to your Setup > Waivers/Free Agents Setup and remove the option to "Allow owners to make requests for recently dropped players".

| 14. | How do we prevent our commissioner from seeing waivers prior to them being processed?
Answer: The commissioner can enable the "Commissioner Lockout" feature in the Abilities Setup screen. This will still allow the commissioner to perform all commissioner necessary functions, but all owner related functions will need to be accessed as an owner. For the waivers, the commissioner will still be able to process waivers (if desired) after the deadline, but no waivers can be viewed prior to the deadline.

| 18. | Why do some waiver picks get queued up, and other times waiver picks go through immediately?
Answer: Logging on as the league commissioner allows you to immediately add/drop any player you wish, without going through the normal queuing of picks for leagues with ordered waiver requests or blind bid waivers. In order to test what the owner's access might be, you must login as an owner to queue up (or bid on) waivers.
