    Default Is Yahoo letting me add more players than my league allows or is it a glitch?

    So here’s the situation:

    > our league settings allows for 3 pick ups/adds per matchup which I already used
    > as a result, I’m unable to add any ‘green’ listed players on waivers AKA the available players list. If I do attempt to, it says “Uh oh, Looks like you’ve used all your player adds this week!, Dang...”
    > However, someone dropped a player yesterday who I want to add but obviously can’t since I used my 3 moves. At least that’s what I thought...
    > that dropped player shows up as a ‘yellow’ listed player on waivers/available players. Out of curiosity, I thought why the hell not see if I can add him and what do you know - it worked! Well at least it seems like it
    > when I did it, it said “Success!, waiver claim placed” and displays it is to be processed tomorrow on the 19th.

    ...is this a broken mechanic or do I actually have a chance if I get lucky and successfully hit/win my claim? It would mean I added 4 players when the league max is set to 3 per week. Or are adding available players and waiver claims 2 different things because it’s something I’ve never been aware of.

    I'm not sure, I've never tried this. Does the waiver period end next week? Maybe Yahoo knows and is accounting for when you're able to make a move again?

    I'm guessing that the system doesn't recognise a claim as an add since it hasn't been processed yet, so it will be unaware that you have hit your moves limit. I would expect it to be rejected when it tries to process. Let us know what happens.

    I think horrorfan is right. The system allowed you to make a waiver claim but will reject it once it tries to go through as you don't have roster moves left.

    Pretty sure I've tried before and that's exactly what happened.
