But as we head in to the home stretch there are some things to be aware of.
Most importantly is the standings. Some amazing races, which seems to be a constant in the CFCL for the last decade or so.
The Line and Revenge are a mere four points apart with a month to go.
The Bulls, Beatniks and Rebels are fighting it out for 4th, 5th and 6th.
And the Killers, Ruffins and DoorMatts are pushing each other 7th through 9th.
But more immediate is how we handle the transition into September. So here are a couple of reminders:
- This weekend (Labor Day Weekend) is the last chance to acquire a Free Agent and have him on a 16+ contract. Sunday is August 31st so bidding is as normal. The following Sunday (September 7th) and every Sunday until the end of the season, any player acquired via FAAB will be assigned an "S" contract and will be released at the end of this season (unless someone feels compelled to bid .25 or higher on a player).
- Monday is September 1st (and transaction day). As of September 1st you are allowed to add an additional player to your Active Roster for September Roster Expansion. The player can be either offense or pitching, whatever you prefer.
During the season we typically have 23 active and 17 reserved. If you use the SRE option you would have 24 active and 16 reserved. You ARE NOT allowed to acquire an extra player to fill the empty reserve spot if you have an extra active player. You are allowed A TOTAL OF 40 PLAYERS.

Good luck to all on you push to a higher spot in the standings. Now would be a good time to start thinking about players on your roster who should be considered in the voting for the various awards we have.
I'll try to put together a comprehensive list, but I have some personal things that will be taking my time this fall and I'm not sure how much dedicated time I can devote to putting together an awesome ballot.
