Impacted Rule: 8.3 Explanation: Why not have all waiver claims put back in the draft pool the following year? The NFL doesn't get to see what a player will do for their team the following year when they sign them off the street. We currently get to the trade deadline to see the following year stats. For example a returner gets 2 punt return TD's and all of a sudden several teams want him for the following year and not the year we are playing. We had our chance for these type of development guys during our draft.
Old Rule: 8.3 - After the first week of play only, Waiver Claim Free Agents will be awarded based on the previous season's standings, with the poorest team drafting first, etc. After the second week of play, Waiver Claim Free agents will be awarded based upon each teams current:
a. winning percentage b. head-to-head c. division wins d. conference wins e. net points f. power rankings
New Rule: 8.3a - Waiver Claim Free Agents will be awarded based on rule 8.3. Contracts are only for the current season. All Waiver Claim Players will become free agents at the end of the KRFL season.
