Some other resposibilities for you the owners over the next few weeks.
1) Please contact Commissioner Bentel and let him know your intentions for next year. If anyone isn't coming back we need to know ASAP to try and find new ownership. Are you in or out?
2) We need to plan the Award Banquet. Let's assume the Line, Beatniks and Ruffins aren't coming into town for pizza and beer (although you of course are welcome to attend). The other seven owners please e-mail Commissioner Bentel with preferable dates/days or problematic dates/days so we can find a time to celebrate. As always majority will rule, but there is always special weight given to the newly crowned Champion's schedule.
3) Speaking of the banquet, you will be receiving the Awards Ballot in your In Box soon (hopefully within the week). Please take time to vote, but return it in quickly. The Banquet cannot occur until all votes are in. This will be repeated when the ballot is e-mailed out but "Please vote for the most deserving candidate. Most deserving does not necessarily constitute the player on your CFCL team or your favorite National League team."
That's it for now. See (hopefully) most of you at the banquet!

CFCL Banquet 2009
Fellow CFCL Citizens!
The Banquet wrapping up the 2008 CFCL Season is complete. Ownership representing the Copperfields, Rebels, Revenge, Bulls and Hots were in attendance to partake of delectable sausage pizza and various brews. Per usual David handled the awards ceremony with aplomb. As it turns out the Red Hots were this year's version of Slumdog Millionaire, garnering nearly every award including the prestigious Paul Mahlan Award and the GM of the Year Award. The only trophy he avoided taking home (other than the Championship) was The Nick Esasky Award - won by the Kenndoza Line for their sterling pickup of Andruw Jones.
Once the awards were handed out and most of the pizza was gone, we turned to league business. The only topic that made the table was trading. After reviewing why this became an issue and briefly referencing all the suggestions that have been posted to the CFCL Forum Board, it was generally decided that this still is a Gentlemen's League and therefore we shouldn't want to or have to legislate how a team trades. What was agreed upon was that each owner should be reminded that the draft is first and foremost the way a team will be successful and trades should supplement that, not necessarily make up for a poor draft.
Throughout the season the Commissioner's office and/or the Executive Committee will provide reminders that should suffice in handling the issues from the past couple of years.
A good time was had by all. Pitchers and catchers report in 17 days!
