bullet

Email all waiver claims to the commissioner and the team involved.  Post the claim on the message board.  The team that owns the player has 48 hours to notify the claiming team and the commissioner that he is moving the player to the majors.

bullet

A player may be claimed on waivers if ALL of the following are true:
bullet

He is not injured or just off being injured.

bullet

He has reached his peak.

bullet

He is in the minors.

bullet

He has been in the league (minors or majors) for three full years

bullet

No limit to successful waiver claims.

bullet

More than one team can claim the same player. If the claim is not blocked, the player goes to the team with the worst record.  The 48-hour clock starts at the time of the claim made by the team with the worst record. So if a claim made by one team is topped by a subsequent claim by a team with a worse record, the 48-hour clock starts over when the higher priority claim is made.

bullet

If more than one team claims a player on waivers, the priority goes to the lowest ranked team. For waiver purposes, the ranking will be the same as for the rookie draft.  DURING THE MONTH OF APRIL, CLAIM PRIORITY IS BASED ON THE PREVIOUS SEASONS FINAL RECORDS.

bullet

The original team may block the waiver claim by notifying the commissioner and the claiming team(s) that the player is being moved to the major league roster.  If a waiver claim is blocked in this way, the player must remain on the major league roster for the rest of the regular season.

bullet

The team obtaining the waiver player must give $1,000 ($1K) to the team losing the player.

bullet

The waiver player MUST remain on the major league roster of his new team for the remainder of the current regular season unless he becomes injured for more than 10 games. If injured, he must be recalled to the majors after recuperation is complete.

bullet

If the new owner wishes to send the waiver players to the minors and no injury is involved, the player must be offered back to the original owner at no cost. If the original owner does not want the player back, the player may return to the minor leagues where he will be subject to the waiver rule once again.

bullet

If a player claimed on waivers is then traded during that same season, he must remain on the major league roster of the team receiving him in trade for the rest of the regular season.

bullet

Waivers claims may start after the first sim of the season, and they end at the conclusion of the regular league schedule.
