Change Vote Results (Round 2)
The blue print is
existing rules. The red print is either added or changed rule proposals.
5A.
Composition Failed 10 - 6
1.
Active Roster
Each team will have sixteen (16) roster
slots. These slots may be filled by players in any of the
following positions: Quarterback (QB), Running Back (RB),
Wide Receiver (WR), Tight End (TE), Place Kicker (K), and
Defense/Special Team (DS). Players will be carried over
as long as their contracts have not expired.
2.
Developmental Squad
Each team will have a developmental squad
bound by the following rules:
a) Roster Slots = 4, Contract Cap =
10 years (this contract cap is separate than the
active contract cap)
b) Any rookie, and only rookies, may be assigned
to a d-squad slot (players may remain on the
developmental squad for years to come)
c) Once a player is activated from the
developmental squad, he is assigned a new contract to
count towards the active roster cap. 1 year is
left remaining on the developmental sqaud cap, just
as if that player was released. Once a developmental
player is declared active, he may not return to the
developmental squad for that team.
d) Any developmental squad member that becomes
an RFA may not be signed or re-signed to a
developmental squad.
e) The normal contract and roster rules apply to the
developmental squad, except where specified above.
5F.
Team Pages Failed 9 - 7
Each
team owner will be responsible for the information on his
team page and will be subject to a fine if the player limit
or contract cap is exceeded.
6G.
Announcing Contracts PASSED 15 - 1
The
deadline for announcing contracts of all players acquired
during the off season is the Monday before Week 1 @ 12:00
noon EST.
8B.
Free Agent Acquisitions PASSED 12 - 4
Via
free agency, CFFFL franchises can acquire any player not
currently on another team's roster. Free agents may be
claimed year round except for the month of March (RFA signing
period) and
from the last week of the regular season through the Cyber
Bowl.
Cyberbucks are used to bid on free agents. Teams may only bid
up to the amount of cyber bucks available to that team. If
more than one team requests the same player, the team
submitting the highest bid will acquire the free agent. If
the bids are equal, than the team currently lower in the
standings receives the free agent. The process will be
conducted in a blind auction - no team will know how much the
other team is bidding. All FA bids must be received by the
commissioner before Wednesdays, 8:00 pm EST. Any bid for a
free agent must be sent to the following address: griblets@gate.net, with the subject
line: CFFFL FA bid. This information will remain sealed until
the deadline (the commissioner will not see the bid until
this time). Free agent bids must contain the following
information:
1) Name of Free Agent
2) Amount Bid for Free Agent
3) Contract Offered to Free Agent (exception: not
necessary before Aug. 1)
4) Conditional Release Notice (if necessary)
If
any information is missing, the bid will be discarded.
8C.5
Signing RFA's Failed 8 - 8
All
players receiving any bid must be signed by either the
original team or a new team; the amount of the winning bid
will be deducted from the signing team's cb total. Contracts
do not have to be announced at this time. At the end of the
RFA signing period, any remaining RFA's on a team's roster
(players who did not receive a bid) can be re-signed at a cost of 1 cb. All teams must
announce their intentions regarding such players by March 31,
11:59 pm EST.
11A.
Qualifying PASSED 14 - 2
A
total of eight (8) teams, the top four (4) from each
conference, will qualify for the CFFFL playoffs. Seeding will be as
follows:
1) Division Champion with better record
2) Other Division Champion
3) Wild Card with better record
4) Other Wild Card

Unfortunately, there is
no provision for false votes. Hopefully, nobody
will submit fake votes - if you see a bid
submitted by your team that you didn't make,
bring it to my attention immediately. If you are
caught submitting fake votes, your team will be
subject to a cb fine.
