September Happenings

September 1 is just a week away, and reaching that date means two things:

  1. CFCL active rosters can expand by one player. You can activate a player from your Reserve List effective next Monday (happily, this year Sept. 1 corresponds to a regular transaction date) or on any Friday or Monday through the rest of the season. The extra player can also be a free agent acquired during the regular Sunday FAAB bidding, but remember that free agents acquired on or after September 1 receive an S contract (unless the bid is .25 or more). Players with S contracts are automatically released at the end of the season, but are not eligible for Home Town Discounts next year.
  2. In order to accomodate the extra player, the salary cap increases by .10 to 3.60.

Keep in mind that it's the ACTIVE ROSTER only that expands on September 1 - your full roster can still only be 40 players total. This means that if you activate a 24th player for September Roster Expansion, you are limited to 16 players on your Reserve List. Keep this in mind when you bid on free agents - don't assume you have an extra roster spot to play with and can acquire a player without releasing someone to make room.
