My only objection is that I don't think that such a radical move as putting all of those players on waivers should have been made in the middle of a scheduling cycle - when everyone had not yet played everyone else the same number of times under the same conditions - much less in the middle of a week, when the matchups were already in progress - when it was not necessary to do anything at all in the first place excep freezing the teams belonging to the managers who were no longer participating.

Then, any moves we wished to make with their players should have been timed in such a way so that they would have gone into effect at the beginning of a week, and at the beginning of a new scheduling cycle.

I don't undertsand what the rush was to do anything at all, other than freeze the teams.

I understand that Iceman is delighted to have these new players available because after not having made a player move for weeks he has plenty of dead wood he can replace and improve his team, but if he claims four of thse guys while someone else who has been playing all season has the need to claim only one, that's unfair to the manager who has been playing all along.

And again - no problem, except that all of this should not have been done in the middle of a week and in the middle of a cycle of the schedule.

I appreciate that DC is trying to keep the league competitive and fun for everyone, but I don't believe that that is one of the roles of commissioner.

By putting these players on waivers, we have, in effect, penalized the managers who who had a better draft because they took the time to pre-rank their players, made the best free agent moves during the course of the season, and made beter use of the matchups by knowing who to play on which days.

The commissioner should try and keep the playing field as level as possible, not change it in the name of competetive balance and more fun for everyonne.

Yes, this is supposed to be fun, but the idea of it being fun and taking it seriously are not mutually exclusive.
