As the title rightly suggests, the following are guidelines which would be greatly appreciated if followed.
1. Dropping of players into Waivers
In our league, a player, when dropped, stays in the Waiver Wire for 2 days before anyone can pick him up and start him. If a player is dropped on Friday or Saturday, it becomes close or impossible for another owner to start him.
Dropping a player at a time to stop anyone from getting him is perhaps gamesmanship, but it should apply only when said player had been in on the roster of the owner for at least one game day before being dropped or if said player was a game-time decision. In summary, the guide line is
A player can be dropped on Friday or Saturday only if
a. said player was on the game day roster the previous sunday
b. or said player is injured or a game-time decision in the coming week
In case a manager really wants to drop him, please intimate the commish so that his waiver date can be set to Saturday or Sunday so that other teams have a chance to pick up the player.
