2003 Rule Proposals
- Valid Competitive lineups (COL) PASSED 16-0
All line-ups must include an active CFFFL player at each position, even
if such player is on bye or injured. If any line-up appears to be made in an
obvious attempt to lose the game, the league owners may be asked to vote
whether or not to approve the line-up. The commissioner is the only one who
may call for such a vote; however, any owner is free to bring any question
regarding a valid line-up to the attention of the commissioner.
If the results of the vote are made prior to the line-up deadline and a
team is found in violation of this rule, they will be asked to submit a new
line-up. Otherwise, the offending team will be fined.
In
order to correct a 6 year old mistake, over the next 3 season, there will be
a limit on the number of cyberbucks a team can possess. Every team will be
required to be at or below the cyberbuck cap by noon the Monday before the
Week 1. Any team over the cap at that time will be fined the amount needed
to bring them into compliance with the cap.
2003 – 70 cb
2004 – 50 cb
2005 – 30 cb
2006 – no more cap
- RFA matching rights (COL) PASSED
15-1
RFA Right of last match
Once an RFA bid is finalized the player's current team will have 1
business day to
match the final bid and retain the rights to the player.
- RFA compensation plan (ORL) Failed 11-5
At the end of every RFA period, each franchise will receive
compensation for all RFA’s lost.
The compensation will be 20% (rounded up) of the total amount of cb’s
for which the lost RFA’s were signed.
For example, CFL lost 2 players in the RFA period last year.
Those 2 players were signed for a total of 37cb.
Under this compensation plan, CFL would have received 8cb.
- Home Field Advantage (COL) Failed 2-14
Let's add some meaning to the home vs. away portion of the schedule by
awarding an additional 3 points to the home team in every game.
-
Ties (BAY) Failed 3-13
Home team automatically wins tie game.
- Passing (ORL) Failed 6-10
1 point for every 40 yards passing
- Defense (ORL/BAY) Failed 6-10
Elimination of the Defense position. Roster size reduced to
14. Contract years reduced to 32. Teams will be compensated
2cb for each remaining year assigned to any defense on active rosters.
