Waivers mistake.

Postby Prickler » Fri Nov 18, 2016 9:39 pm

I checked my waiver claims Wednesday morning right after they processed and realized I somehow accidentally dropped Allen Robinson to pick up Sammy Watkins. I meant to drop Alshon following his suspension.

I sent the entire league an email to explain the mistake right away, probably before any of them had even got out of bed.

Even in a down year nobody would just drop Arob for no reason. He was my 2nd best player. Nobody even questioned that it was a mistake, yet only 2 people sided with me to undo the mistake. Another playoff bound team got Arob off waivers for free.

Am I right to be bitter that the league rejected my appeal? Even if I wasn't the one who lost Arob I'd be upset another playoff team got him for free. The whole situation just irks but I need some unbiased opinions.

I didn't make a big deal out of it but deep down I'm pissed. Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I personally as commissioner of my league would have corrected the mistake myself. I prefer to have a fun league rather than a cut throat league where everyone is suspicious and critical all the time. I try to get rid of those players myself. If I were you I would probably try to find a more fun league. I will have an opening this coming year, and also plan on adding to new franchises, if your are interested.

Stuff like this happens all the time and is the job of commish to undo the mistake.

This is where commissioners exist. Is your commissioner not doing his job?

Agreed, have you tried talking to the Commish directly? That would be my move, and if I didn't get a reasonable outcome out of that I'd consider leaving the league. And shouldn't every playoff team that missed Arob be a little ticked right now? Maybe you can get their support.
