League It To Beaver · Research Lodge

The Beaver calendar.

A separate calendar for football research. Game times set the windows, with time to review late news, check the work, and publish before managers set their lineups.

Add it beside your personal calendar

In Apple Calendar, add a calendar subscription. In Google Calendar on the web, choose Other calendars → + → From URL. Paste https://www.leagueittobeaver.com/calendar/research.ics. Keep it named Beaver research. A subscription receives later changes; a downloaded import is a snapshot.

All times are Eastern. These are planned windows. A calendar event does not prove that recommendations are live. Local research requires the computer awake and Codex running.

Schedule reviewed Sun, Oct 11, 2:55 PM EDT. This review is over 24 hours old; check current game times.

League settings confirmed: Tuesday and Wednesday waivers process at 03:00 Eastern. Thursday–Saturday process at 03:00, then free agents. Sunday and Monday are locked. Full post-waiver reviews cover Tuesday and Wednesday; other passes check later roster changes. Processing completion must be verified.

These passes gather shared NFL inputs. Contest picks require the actual DFS slate, scoring, salary rules, and lock policy. Separate DFS windows are not armed.
