Re: 2011 Playoffs
In the past, that has not been the case. This is primarily because only 4 teams made it past the regular season. So the last weekend of the regular season was the last time to acquire multi-year contracted players.
Though the rules may not be clear with our new format (toilet bowl), I'd have to say that the SPIRIT of the rules is that once the regular season ends, we're officially in the playoffs. Playoff waivers are very different from regular season waivers. One year contracts & no RFA designation. Period.
This year, with the toilet bowl teams in play after week 13, more teams can pick up players for the playoff runs... but they'll be short term acquisitions.
