I don't care what it is, as long as it is clear. I thought it was clearly a 1 weeker before, effective 12:01am Saturday.
If someone can spell out what 48 hours has to do with that, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

since i'm not real sure if we're doing the 48 hour or friday night thing, i better leap in here:
drop: Tenacious Z
add: Sylvain Grenier
i have some interesting ideas on how this thing is gonna play out...and if i'm right, another team owner here is gonna be very happy.

Quick promo was cut with two French guys, one of them being the fake ref that disrupted the Hogan/Rock match. They gave an anti-American rant, posturing the French stance regarding the war in Iraq. Sylvain Grenier was one of them. I have no idea what the other's name is or which is which. One has blonde hair and I forget if he's the one with bigger muscles. Interestingly, Nowitzki also came out to his match with Steiner also denouncing the US' role in war in Iraq.

fine. i'll drop tenacious z and pick up eric angle. LOL.
at risk of being collusional (is that a word)? someone needs to block BH from getting either of the French dudes.
because if my gut feeling is right, he's gonna have 3 of the 4 guys in a main event tag team program for several months if he picks either up - he's already got two guys in tree's "gut feeling" tag feud.

I really hope they don't do that. I hated it when the did it with Slaughter and Hogan way back when. And if I am following your train of thought that could be one of the worst main events ever at a PPV.

True. That's about as bad as it gets I guess. Granted, I'd never have taken Goldberg with the first pick. But if he sticks around, kudos.

i didnt take him with the 1st pick, i did with the 2nd. That was also when i heard he would be debuting at the Rumble. Oh well.
I think it is so funny how MNG offers all these big names as soon as there is a report that they arent getting the push. Latest thing i read said that Nathan Jones is a terrible wrestler and they dont know how they are going to get him into matches. That was why he was removed from WM. He couldnt get any of the moves down and they were afraid he would ruin the match.

Tree-----no, not if the rule has been changed. I still don't understand what was being referred to by the "48 hour" stuff. It was never clarified, so I have no idea what those that suggested it and discussed it meant.
Busy day for me with my kids' sports. I'll be around later. I had no problem handling the waivers via the weekly system we were using. I'm confused about it currently.

folks - we need to put a freeze on waivers until we figure out what the rule is here:
mike and i had been under the impression that we were going by a friday night at midnight rule - that's when players were dropped and added - a player was not an official DROP until that point in time, thusly, he was not in the free agent/waiver pool until that point.
then we underwent this 48 rule change, and there seems to be a lot of confusion about it. the two people doing the tracking (i.e. Mike D and myself), seem to be the most confused about it - or at least part of the minority in expressing opinions.
so, i'd like to propose this, to get it more organized.
1. 48 hour waiver time - process as follows:
a. announce you're picking someone up, and who you're waiving to do so.
b. 48 hours from the post, if no one else ahead of you in the priority list claims that wrestler, than they are yours.
c. the person you waived is officially in the free agent pool, and can be picked up.
2. a. a person is NOT in the free agent pool until the 48-hour waiting period has happened.
b. what this means is that if Goatlocker drops Brock Lesner, NO ONE can claim him until the 48 hours are up, and HIS transaction has gone through. don't post that you're picking up Lesner five minutes after Goatlocker makes his post, because Lesner is NOT a free agent at that point.
3. a. this also means no making of rosters presuming that a waiver transaction goes through. IF A WRESTLER IS NOT GOING TO BE ON YOUR ACTIVE ROSTER BY 11:59 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON SATURDAY NIGHT, YOU CANNOT PUT THAT PERSON ON YOUR ROSTER FOR THAT WEEK.
b. there are no exceptions to this - if you do so, then you just won't score points for that slot during that week. none of "Brock Lesner (if my transaction goes through, otherwise, start Chief Morley)
peace,
Tree

My personal feelings is that someone isnt officially dropped until the person that is being picked up in his place is official.
For Example this week many managers went after the 2 new guys and alot of names were thrown out there as drops. We shouldnt be able to make a claim on someone if we dont know if they will even be available. That just makes things to confusing. Just my opinion, but back with the farn getting victoia, yes i know he had higher priority then me anyways, but if he didnt I would have taken a shot at her, but didnt due to the fact that she was never officially released.

does anyone here READ? damnit. :o)
please, everyone, read post 115 and comment on it. only one person has so far, and at least 3 others have been here since.
without knowing who is on who's team anymore, keeping score is impossible.
as it is - i'm out of town this week - wednesday to sunday - so i doubt i'll have scores up before the middle of NEXT week.
as is, i don't know who is on anyone's team anymore, and neither does Mike D, who was the guy keeping track of that.
without rosters, and scores, we don't have a league.
peace,
done freaking out,

sorry Tree, I read it and agree. Just never posted that. Those rules are fine by me.
I am going to start a thread to post your current full roster (including bench guys). If everyone can please post there up to the minute roster there that would simply things. Don't post guys you are waiting to clear waivers.
