I have turned on the waiver system, and setup the priorities in the reverse of the first round of the draft. (We may revisit that order next year, but it is what it is for this year.)

Waivers will be run at noon (ET) on Monday, Sept. 5. Following a 3-hour lockout period, free agent add/drops will begin at 3pm on Monday. From that point forward, dropped players will be subject to a one-day lockout and subject to waiver claims - which ran sometime in the wee hours each morning, as I recall.

Thanks toral, but I like college basketball, not the showme pros.

Will we meet in RIFC AAA again?

At halftime, it looks like -- again -- I picked the wrong QB... Sigh...

the top eight made the playoffs, no one with an inferior record came and snatched a point based playoff spot. Seems like we see that every year.

Playoff brackets have been seeded. Championship bracket seeding process is set forth in post 296.

The Consolation bracket is also set up. The 6 lower teams have been seeded. In the first round, the losing team in that bracket with the highest score will also advance to the second round. If that produces a rematch, then the matchups will be adjusted in the second round.

Waiver claim priorities have been adjusted at the start of the playoffs to reflect championship bracket seeding.

No team my add a QB, RB, or WR for the rest of the season.

Teams who are not still alive in the Championship bracket may not may any add/drops.

The last two limitations will not be automatically administered by the system. They will require manual intervention if there are violations.

Just remembered that I can preclude selected teams from the ability to make add/drops, so I've done that for the Consolation bracket teams. Only the QB/RB/WR limitation will need to be manually enforced.

Sad , isn't it. A basic free fall... Worst season ever in all three leagues I played in...

RE 326/327:

Same here, but I consider it a great indication of how on the ball a lot of the managers in this league are. In my 3 organized leagues, it's the only one I didn't make it in. Credit to the good competition here.

Just has to do with having a bad draft. Looking at IAC's draft, it was a horrible mess in hindsight. While some of the picks had obvious risk, you can't expect almost everyone to bust or be injured. There's really no coming back from that unless you manage to pick up some hot waiver wire players who produce the entire year.

Really glad Maclin isn't playing in the 2nd half, according to twitter. Probably be the typical dominance in regular season only to be ousted in the 1st round.

damn! Carson Palmer is ugly for 50 minutes and because the Packers are in conservation mode he gets a garbage time TD. now I need a stinker from Doug Baldwin or I'll lose in the first round.

looks like the top 2 seeds are out of it already. I hope this performance was enough to be invited back next year.

37 yard return by Baldwin to start the game. He's obviously not a fan of drama.

I got a break in the seeding matchup this year. I had the 7th worst point total in the first playoff week, but managed to be matched against the team which produced the least points (by less than 2 pts).

If we had not voted to make a minor change in the playoff seeding this year, I'd be on the sidelines now.

Re 343, thanks Beezer

I really thought I was going to be the one to make that post when Dez scored that TD on Sunday night. I knew then it would be tight...

Guru, you are welcome! You are really rubbing it in aren't you?! In the blurb and here. Ouch! Beezer beat me in the quarters when I was the #1 seed last year in AAA by .52 points, so this one wasn't quite as painful, I guess. Sitting out the wrong LB, and Foster's stinker this week, did me in. Actually, I was watching the Bengals game and really thought that his fumble was an incomplete pass, but it held up in the replay challenge. That -2.6 points really hurts now. (I can't complain though, because you left lots of points on your bench also!)

Good luck the rest of the way!

Atlanta currently has 41 points and Gonzalez has a whopping 14 yards. Really. Can already see how this week is going to go.

I knew it! Rotoworld agrees w/ me.

(Rotoworld) Arian Foster was held to 41 yards on 15 carries and 33 yards on four receptions against the Bengals in Week 14. Analysis: The Texans ended up losing 25 yards of field position on a pass to Foster that was ruled a fumble even though he never controlled it.

Interestingly, the two teams that got off to the best first halves in the RIFC this year are now meeting in the final...Bonka continued his good performance in the second half, whereas the wheels fell off the "Bus", with me backing into the playoffs as an 8 seed.

Regardless, we are here now and I wish the best of luck my fellow veteran competitor Bonka. I hope both of our teams post great numbers...

Guru,
I mentioned to my wife that I was playing Guru for 3rd place this week. She was excited that I was playing against THE RotoGuru. I must talk about this site too often because she assumes you are a major internet celebrity. Good luck this week and remember that you are famous in the Russell household.

And we DO need to mention that the two regular season bottom teams (GHOSTWOOD and Taiwan One Tail) are fighting it out for the consolation championship -- which means 9th and 10th places in the tournament!!! A little bit of satisfaction for a season that did not meet expectations...

Unfortunately, T1T has big Ben as his only QB... Kinda unfair for a final matchup...

My wife is not nearly as impressed with THE RotoGuru.

I may have only one active RB this weekend, and that's Thomas Jones, who I only picked up at the end of the regular season as a precaution. Felix Jones may play today, although it sounds like that is predicated on the results of the 1pm Giants/Jets game.

Thanks. I'd prefer there to be no change from stat corrections even if I lost by a point. I do think Lofton actually loses .5 TFL based on the gamebook since I checked it last night before they put the TFL on MFL. Have to wait until Thursday before anyone can celebrate.

Either way, a close high scoring championship is the way it should end!

Ever since I had a close win reveresed by a stat change, I get nervous when I have close games.

Congrats once again, and I second what OneTail said in thanking everyone for the year, and Guru for the work.
