Before waivers were introduced all teams were drafted and all remaining players were available first come first serve. Many referred to this as the frenzy period because that is what it resembled. Many asked to keep that as an option when waivers were introduced as they enjoyed the adrenalin rush.
A fast internet connection and quick reactions could net good results. I remember one league where I was able to grab up Willie Mays and Robin Yount. :D Team cruised to 95 wins. I had other less memorable experiences where my internet connection dropped right as the team drafted and I got shut out on all desirable players. :(
