Waiver

Question: Waiver....? I'm in a league in the FOX Sports Fantasy Football league on MSN and this is my first time. Under owner information my waiver priority is 10. What does that mean? I noticed the highest one is 12, is 10 good or bad?

Answer: The waiver priority that you have, 10, means that your the 10th team that has an opportunity to pick up a player on waiver (meaning that 1 to 9th has first dib on a placed waiver). If 1 to 9 didn't place a claim, then you have the player. Otherwise, it goes to that team which has higher priority first who made the claim. The only way you can climb up the waiver priority is that the other team acquiring players through waiver. Once that team acquire a player through waiver, they automatically drop down to 12, which means each team goes one up in priority and so on. Claiming Free Agents doesn't change the waiver priority.

Question: How does Waiver Priority with a continual rolling list work with waiver periods in Yahoo Football? Say in a 12-team league I have the #5 waiver priority, and the Wildcats have the #9 priority. Before Tuesday, I claim Joe Schmo from Kansas City, and the Wildcats claim Jack Smack from St. Louis. Assuming we both are awarded our respective players, and go to the bottom of the waiver list, who would be last, and who would be second to last? Who has the new priority of #12, and who has #11?

Answer: Whoever has the highest priority goes first in the 'first round' of waiver claims. Thus, your pick would go, you'd be assigned waiver 12, then Wildcats would go, and you'd bump up to 11. If there were multiple waiver picks placed per team, then there would be a round 2 and so forth.

Question: How do I submit a fee waiver for private colleges? I have just submitted my common applications for two private institutions by clicking the "fee waiver" buttons. They then sent me a notification saying that they want me to send in the application fee or fee waivers. What exactly is this fee waiver I need to send in? I am not talking about the college board one.

Answer: You can either ask your councelor for a collegeboard fee waiver to send in (it's a yellow half sheet), or they can write a letter to the college asking for a fee waiver by stating that you are low income.

Question: How long will a waiver take for public intox and disorderly conduct take? I'm trying to enlist in the air force and I need a waiver for public intoxication and disorderly conduct, both which happened on the same night. Is there a possibility that the waiver would be denied?

Answer: there is ALWAYS the possibility it will be denied, especially if not much time has passed since you were charged. Frankly, the AF doesn't need to grant waivers, and if given a choice between you and somebody else with the exact same ASVAB scores who doesn't need a waiver.. you will lose.

Question: Is getting a fee waiver going to lower my chances of acceptance or will it make my chances higher? I got a fee waiver for Phillips Academy? Does getting a fee waiver make your chances of getting in higher or lower?

Answer: Honestly, it doesnt do anything to your acceptance rates. Fee Waivers are just to apply, nothing more.

Question: How does the waiver priority work on fantasy sports? I've made the fourth least amount of moves in my hockey league but yet I am 11th out of 12 in the waiver priority. Then the people who have made the most are 4th and 10th. What's the deal with that? I just checked the original draft order and it has nothing to do with waiver priority.

Answer: It depends on who you are picking up. If you pick someone up that is on waivers (usually 2 days or so in most leagues), meaning that someone has just recently dropped them, then you go to the bottom of the waiver priority list. Everytime somebody pciks someone up off of waivers, they go back to the bottom of the list and the other people move up 1 spot. It has nothing to do with how many overall moves you've made, just moves involving players on waivers.

Question: How long does it take a waiver to get approved? I had a medical waiver submitted about 45-working days ago and I havent heard back from my recruiter (he could be at his training, tried calling him). This is for air force, how long does it take for a waiver to process?

Answer: Hurry up and wait...it could be a few months or longer. Try to be patient but be sure to keep in touch with your recruiter.

Question: What should the waiver budget be in my fantasy hockey league? I'm trying out the waiver budget thing in my custom league, but do not know what I should set it at. I have it at $100 now, is that too much? Or is it not enough?

Answer: Im not familiar with this muggle sport!

Question: What kind of liability waiver should I have volleyball players sign before a tournament at my house? I'm having a volleyball tournament take place at my house. I think I should have each player sign a waiver stating that I am not liable for any injuries that may occur. Where can I find some kind of sample form like this online? And, is there anything else I should know?

Answer: You should probably know that waivers don't actually completely indemnify someone against liability, no matter what you put in it. They're useful for limiting liability and discouraging an injured person from ever calling a lawyer-- after all, they signed a waiver!-- but that's it. Call an insurance agent instead of a lawyer. You can get lots of coverage for an event like this for next to nothing, and they'll know how to protect you/themselves from the threat of litigation. Have fun!

Question: How does an asthmatic get a medical waiver to get entry into a military force? I have asthma and would like to eventually become a commissioned officer in a United States military force. I have heard that some people with asthma get into the millitary with medical waivers. Will someone explain to me what a medical waiver is, where I get one, and what I need to do after I get one?

Answer: I believe (well at least how it worked in 1982 when I enlisted) you can't have had a documented asthma attack after your 12th birthday. As for waivers you need to talk to a recruiter. You don't apply for it, they do it for you. With people lining up and waiting almost a year to get in don't get your hopes up... Waivers are getting harder and harder to get... Oh yeah by the way to finnish answering your question a waiver is a piece of paper that says you have a known problem, but that the military is aware of it and will take you anyway. Due to all of the physical activity in basic Asthma usually is not waivable. After all you can't just call a time out in a fire fight or stop flight ops to hit your "puffer".

Question: How do you apply for the language test waiver for naturalization? I know there's a test waiver for those over 50 years of age, and has lived in the US for 20 years. How do you apply for the waiver? Do you have to fill in any special forms or add something to the N-400 form? Or is it as simple as just bringing an interpreter to your interview?

Question: What are the circumstances in which a judge wouldnt allow a waiver to be signed? My boyfriend is to get extradited back to oregon.At first he wanted to fight but they pushed him to sign a waiver. Though they said that he had signed an automatic waiver in the past,they kept telling him to do it. Now he wants to just to get everything over with and they wont let him. Doesnt he have the right to do so if he wishes whether or not it were for the automatic waiver?

Answer: If you had asked about an extradition from GA to OR a few days ago and are now asking again, I think the courts have been closed for Christmas since you first asked. No judge has probably been on a bench in the past 72 hours. Let's say a person is in a situation where a person is facing extradition they may have a right to a lawyer (or they could Waive) and they may wish to fight extradition (or they could waive). A jurisdiction, I wouldn't think, would want to have the costs of holding someone when they could get rid of them. But you never know. Where I am I believe the local can hold for 30 days before bringing the person back and asking them again. Sounds unfair and it may be but I couldn't say he has the right to anything except a speedy trial in your state on the issue. That complaint is months away. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring him back to court where you are as soon as they get all the holiday DUI's and shoplifters out of the way. That could take a day or so maybe.

Question: What is the proper way to incorporate a Release of Liability waiver form into a website? If I have a travel agent website and I want the traveler to agree to a release of liability waiver in on the website before booking a package, can I just include teh waiver as part of the terms and conditions and have them check off a box prior to booking the package? Or is there another format in which it should be presented to the traveler? Does anyone have any samples/link of liability waivers so that I can get an idea of the format in which it should be presented?

Answer: It may depend upon what liability you're asking them to waive. If it's your simple negligence, then you should have insurance and not ask them to waive their rights to sue you for being incompetent. If it's third-party issues, then you need them to waive and indemnify you. If it's your reckless act, you can't expect to enforce a waiver even if they agree to it, as it would be an "unfair and deceptive business practice" in many jurisdictions to hold yourself out as a travel agent and then mess up the customer's travel arrangements intentionally or recklessly (i.e., you have to do your best or it's fraud to charge money for the service). Bottom line, you need to be clear about your mutual obligations and make sure the customer is giving "informed and voluntary" consent to terms that could sink your business if they fail to hold up in court.

Question: What is a waiver for the air force and what does it entail? My boyfriend has some missed court appearances for tickets that he just found out about that occurred a few years ago. He has paid all of his tickets off. His recruiter told him he needed a waiver to join the AF. How do you get a waiver and what is it?

Answer: A waiver is basically a process that allows the military to weigh something undesirable against something desirable. If they find the recruit to have more desirable qualities than undesirable qualities, and they are in need of said desirable qualities, then they will probably award him a waiver. For example, your boyfriend has something in his history that makes him seem unreliable or dishonest (missed court appearances). He has since fixed all of those problems, and it turns out they were due to a misunderstanding (he didn't know he was required in court). The Air Force will examine the waiver by looking at what he did, how long ago it happened, how he remedied the situation, and what he can offer them, in order to determine whether or not to award the waiver. Suppose your boyfriend has a history of being dishonest, isn't particularly intelligent, and exhibits a problem with authority. The Air Force isn't likely to grant the waiver, because his pros don't outweigh his cons, if you will. Now suppose that your boyfriend is intelligent, is generally very honest (this was a once off freak occurrence from 5 years ago), and has a critical needs talent -- like he's fluent in Arabic or something. The Air Force is more likely to pass him through, awarding him the waiver, because his pros definitely outweigh his cons! It all basically comes down to what the Air Force needs at the moment and what he's is trying to waive. Somethings, like your boyfriend's missed court appearances, might be easier to waive than others, like being older or being convicted of a violent crime. Unfortunately, there's absolutely no way to know if he'll get the waiver or not. I've heard stories of people getting medical waivers for pretty serious medical conditions, but I've also heard stories of people not getting waivers for things I would consider minimal. It all just depends on what is going on at the exact time you need a waiver... and what you can offer the Air Force.

Question: Can a landlord have a tenant sign a waiver to injury or personal property damage in California? Is there a waiver form or something similar in which a tenant can sign to waive their right to make claims against the property owner for injury or damage to the tenant's personal property in California? Please send links or some ideas of what is possible to write up to include in a rental agreement or separately in a waiver. Thanks.

Answer: Usually this language is part of the lease agreement. It's called a Hold Harmless Agreement. If you can't find a standard lease agreement to use - it's worth the money to have an attorney draw up a lease for you.

Question: What are the possibilities of my waiver being approved for the National Guard? I am 28, I have 1 child and a wife. I also have 4 misdemeanors, and 2 non minor traffic violations. The misdemeanors are for (3) Theft under $300 or 6th Degree Petty Larceny from 1999 (1) DUI, and the non minor non traffics are for (2) Failure to Appears. My recruiter for the Nationla Guard is sending in my waiver to see if it gets approved. Are these generally hard to get approved?

Answer: It would appear that you haven't been very trustable with a record like that. What would someone looking at your history find desirable to allow you to join the military? I don't know you personally, but based on your record alone, I wouldn't want you in my unit. I hope they don't give you a waiver. And I hope you turn your life around and become an example for that family, just not in the military. g-day!

Question: How do i get a medical waiver for anti depressants? I want to join the navy but i took anti depressants a few years ago. The department of defense has it on record that i took them because i told a recruiter i saw a while back and he sent my papers in. I tried joining again recently but didnt get the waiver because the medical papers that i had dont have sufficient information. Ive tried contacting my old doctor many times but he never responds. Could someone give me some advice on what i could do from here?

Answer: Current guidelines for enlistment require that you be off of anti-depressants for one year and have a doctors statement stating that you are functioning normally at this time without them. See a different doctor for the statement and contact the doctors clinic for the records.
