Don't like the waiver wire priority idea, this has been brought up before. My problem with it is, I see no reason that a bad team should have a shot at someone just because they suck or had a bad draft. If it was done that way this year, you would have never had any "chance" at all, as each week the rankings would start over and you have been one of the top teams. Plus if someone wanted multiple free agents it would be a pain to determine which player was up first, etc.. If you remember we added the $5 fee to be in a flip to keep people from just jumping in to block others from picking up guys, like what use to happen in the early days.

I really believe (could be wrong) that there is just a small minority that has an issue with the coin flips and the rest could care less. What I really don't understand is why this has become such a big issue this year, when we have been doing it this way all along. I have never had a problem doing the flips; however, I will tell you that it does piss me off that some are second guessing me on it! I really thought we were way past that in this league. With that said the other option is just not to play if it appears that something shaddy is going on, really doesn't matter to me either way. I have done nothing but try to be as fair as possible since I started this league. Also, this is the same system we have for Tye's league and I don't hear anyone complaining about it there?? I know I have been on the losing side in that league in the past and have not thought twice about it.

I know this doesn't help you, but anyone can come over for the flips. Many of the owner live close enough and are off work in time to be a witness (i.e. BK, Gunners, Crooks, etc..). Like I said in my first post, I don't think the coin flips are the real problem unless I'm one of the teams involved and I win the flip.

Silent bidding wasn't my idea totally; however, I do like the idea of it too raise the kitty. But I'm sure that many won't like that as well.
