By the way, I did some poking around regarding the advanced waiver setting and Yahoo offers those settings for the Plus leagues only.
Kinda lame that ESPN does it for free and Yahoo doesn't.
Oh well, depending on how this year goes, maybe I'll push for a site change for next season.
I think the Sunday-Thursday waiver makes things fair for everyone.

I used ESPN a couple years ago for my $$$ league and the only good thing about it is that you get to see the week's totals on Sunday night not in the wee hours of Monday morning...BUT, Yahoo has the Stat Tracker for $10 that lets you see ALL your teams scores...but you have to buy a whole package for like $50 over at ESPN. For that feature...I like Yahoo. 
Well, that was interesting, to say the least.
Yahoo has certainly changed their format for drafting. It took me 20 minutes to get into the draft to begin with, and once I finally got there I was dumped three different times. Abysmal service, even allowing for my dial-up, which is actually working pretty well today.
Deep into the draft I have a player queued up, I get dumped and when I make it back the computer didn't pick the player in the queue. It picked Darrell Jackson as a "Keeper" selection.
???
Not real happy about that, to say the least.

Good luck one and all. It should be an interesting year!

Today seemed to be a snake-bitten draft day all the way around. I was also bumped from the draft during the 7th and 8th rounds because I temporarily lost power due to a severe thunderstorm afflicting the wretched city of Houston (where I've been cursed to live for the last year or so). Thankfully I had players I liked queued up when the power went out, but because of the power outage I auto-drafted Felix Jones and Ricky Williams just a little bit earlier than I probably would have drafted them otherwise...
Thanks for hosting this great league again, Rockmeister, but if you want my bum nickel, I'd say that because we have already completed the draft, these rules should darned well remain in place.
I would say that in any fantasy league that I participated in (and just like a lot of y'all, I've participated in quite a few over the years), I would be hugely unhappy to see any peremptory changes made to league rules following the completion of that league's draft. Sure, managers and the commissioner should be able to debate and change as many rules as they want in a league- but only before the draft actually takes place.
Considering just how centrally and critically important any fantasy league's scoring rules necessarily inform individual manager's drafting strategies, I would consider it to be a dreadful act to shift the sand under the collective feet of the league by changing fundamental league rules that folk's would have earlier based their drafts upon, and I'd further say that such an action would inevitably open dire questions about the essential fairness of the league. The only real way to fairly change rules after a draft is to burn the league and redraft, and I doubt many folks really want to contemplate something like that...

My apologies if I didn't word it better. I appreciate your comments even if you are a Mavs fan , however, I don't think anything is going to change now that the draft is completed. We've been doing this league a long time and have almost the same people participating for as long and we haven't had any issues. I will say if something really "drastic" comes up and needs to be discussed, we shall discuss it at that time, however, its very highly unlikely. I hope this clears it up.

...Hey yall..
I know a lot of you don't have a ton of time which is cool when it comes to changing players that are last minute scratches.. Sometimes I miss it because I sleep in Sundays..
but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you are at least changing out your BYE week players if you have an alternative player..
