A couple of quick reminders about CFCL deadlines this week.
Thursday, August 1st at 3pm (CST) is IAFB wherein you can bid on ANY player in the Free Agent Pool, not just the ones that have been traded over from the American League.
Also on Thursday, August 1st, but three hours earlier (Noon, CST) is the CFCL Trade Deadline. All trades AND CORRESPONDING MOVES must be reported to the Commissioner by Noon. If both teams do not report (or confirm) the trade and submit corresponding moves THE TRADE WILL BE NULLIFIED. We're going to keep it easy. There is NO grey area. It's black and white. No judgment calls, or stretching the clock. The e-mail is time stamped in the In Box. In fairness to ALL OWNERS, 12:01 is not 12:00. An e-mail saying "I agree to the trade, I'll submit my moves before first pitch" is not acceptable.
We haven't had problems in the past, but I've learned this year it is important to be specific and clarify the rules.
We have four teams that have a legitimate chance to win it all. All fair and equitable trades are encouraged to make this a race for the ages.

IFAB Day
Tomorrow is IFAB Day. Mike will be sending out an e-mail later with some specifics, but here's the reminder.
By 3pm tomorrow you can log on to OnRoto and place bids on ANY player in the Free Agent Pool, not just the one's that were traded over from the American League. If you're trying to do your research tonight you may be frustrated. The new NL players (Archer et. al) won't be in the pool until tomorrow after the system updates over night.
Two reminders, you can bid whatever you have left of your FAAB, there is no additional money for IFAB Day. And just like every other free agent bid day, any player purchased for .25 or higher must be kept going into next year's draft or face a 50% penalty of their salary. Unless they are back in the AL, retired or dead by Roster Freeze Day.
Questions? The Constitution is a great resource and you're always welcome to e-mail me.
Happy Shopping!

August 1st is a busy day and other reminders
Gentlemen -
A couple of quick reminders as we near the end of July.
August 1st is the CFCL trade deadline. Any trades must be completed by noon (Central Time), August 1st. In order for the trade to be legal and official both teams must report the trade to the Commissioner WITH associated moves to keep their rosters legal. It is not on the shoulders of the Commissioner or OnRoto Guru to chase down owners involved in a trade to get follow up moves in order to make the trade legal. If all components aren't reported by noon August 1st, the trade will not be allowed.
** Reminder on trades - Over the years we have had a flurry of trades toward the trade deadline. This year has seen a ton of activity already. Please keep in mind when offering deals and accepting offers, this league is different than on-line leagues. Owner Emeritus Mahlan worked very hard to create a culture of a "Gentleman's League" and honor and class. That wasn't always honored by owners and eventually they left the league.
When offering or accepting a trade, it's important to identify the equity of the deal. Making a lopsided deal may help your team, but it also dramatically impacts the other owners competing for advancement in the standings. There is a chance it could create bad feelings and animosity among owners if lopsided deals are consummated. There could be a view that an owner getting less in return could be giving up on the season. It could be viewed that the owner getting less in return is trying to determine the champion of the league by playing favorites. Any number of interpretations.
It is incumbent upon both owners involved in a trade to make sure there is equity in the deal and not focus on how bad he can screw the other owner involved in the trade. **
August 1st is also the day after the MLB trade deadline which means it's Interleague Free Agent Bid Day. This year August 1st is on a Tuesday, so by 3pm Tuesday August 1st all teams can make bids on ANY player listed in the player pool at OnRoto, whether that player came over in a recent Interleague trade or not. All rules apply on IFAB Day as a regular Sunday. You are limited to the remaining FAAB budget you have and any bids over .24 means the player musts be kept going into next year's draft.
Questions? Comments? E-mail or text me.

Trade Reminders - Both CFCL and MLB
Gentlemen, we are nearing the beginning of August. Not only does that mean that school starts in a few short weeks for our children (and some owners),and that there is barely a week and half left of shopping days before three stellar CFCL birthdays, it means trade deadlines. Both MLB and CFCL.
MLB - The MLB Trade Deadline this year is Monday, August 1st. So that means the CFCL's Interleague Free Agent Bid Day is Tuesday, August 2nd. On Tuesday, August 2nd we can - to the limit of our FAAB - bid on players that are in the Free Agent Pool. Most times our focus is on whatever talent has arrived from the American League. But keep in mind that ANY player in the Free Agent Pool is eligible to be bid on.
Bids must be submitted by 3pm, August 2nd. If you bid .25 or higher and you are the highest bidding team, you MUST keep said player heading into the 2017 draft lest you be penalize one half that player's salary (rounded up) from your 2.60 Draft Day Budget. Think Jose Reyes and the Beatniks.
If you bid .24 or lower and acquire a player, they will be assigned an 18+ contract and you can keep, cut or trade them as normal rules allow.
Side note - some players have already come over from the American League (at least one flame thrower of prominence). Those players are available via the normal FAAB process this Sunday (July 31st).
CFCL - The CFCL's trade deadline is Monday, August 1st at noon. All trades AND their associated moves must be reported to the Commissioner by noon in order for them to be official. Please don't make me have to make decisions on whether a trade is legal because one team reported it before noon and the other team didn't. Or both teams reported it but the corresponding rosters moves were missing.
In order for any trade to be official (regardless of what part of the season it is consummated) both teams have to report the trade to the Commissioner and associated roster moves have to be reported as well.
Questions about either deadlines or the process? E-mail, text or call me.

Interleague Free Agent Bidding Day Reminder
Just a reminder, good gentlemen, that tomorrow (August 1st) is the Interleague Free Agent Bidding (IFAB) day. You are allowed to bid on any ballplayers that came over the American League AS WELL AS anyone else that is in the Free Agent Pool.
Here's the blurb from the Constitution:
On the day immediately following the MLB Interleague Trading Deadline, the CFCL will hold a special sealed bid auction. Players who were traded from the American League to the National League on the day of the trading deadline, as well as any other free agents, are eligible to be bid upon on IFAB Day.

Trade and IFAB Day
We are approaching a deadline and a date that we need to be aware of. First the deadline.
The CFCL Trade Deadline is Noon (CST) on Wednesday, August 1st. We've had a few trades already this month and more are expected. We are all familiar with the process, but with a deadline as part of the mix, things could get dicey. Let's review the process.
In order for a trade to be official both teams involved in the trade must report the trade to the Commission ALONG WITH ALL ASSOCIATED MOVES. I know you all know this, but understand that if both teams don't report the deal with their associated moves by Noon, Wednesday, August 1st, then the trade is invalid and will not be allowed - period.
If the Commissioner is involved in the trade then they and the other team involved will report the trade with associated moves to the Executive Committee.
I strongly encourage everyone to visit the Constitution to answer any questions you may have about the CFCL Trade Deadline.
Now on to the date to be aware of. The Interleague Free Agent Bid Day is the day after the National League Trade Deadline. So, on Wednesday, August 1st each owner of the CFCL is allowed to place bids - in the same fashion that we do on each Sunday. The deadline is 3pm (CST) and you are allowed to bid on ANYONE in the Free Agent Pool, not only players recently arriving from the American League. Same rules apply - you are only allowed to bid up to the amount you have remaining in your FAAB, if you bid (and acquire) a player for .25 or more, you are required to keep that player going into next year's draft.
I strongly encourage everyone to visit the Constitution to answer any questions you may have about IFAB Day.

Recapping IFAB Day
The planets have aligned to make this years Interleague Free Agent Bid (IFAB) Day a little more complicated. On top of that, since we enter our own bids on OnRoto there's a wrinkle we need to work around.
Here's the deal. In a normal year the IFAB Day (August 1st) is the day after the Major League Trade Deadline (July 31st). Both of those are still true this year. Normally the ML Trade Deadline does not fall on our Transaction Day. This is not true this year. July 31st is this Sunday. So that means we have normal Transactions and Free Agent Bids on Sunday the 31st. THIS YEAR we have IFAB (Bids on players that have come over to the NL on the Trade Deadline Day) Day on Monday, August 1st.
Here's the wrinkle. OnRoto is set for us to make transactions on Sunday and Friday. We cannot add a Monday transaction day. Well, actually we can but not without screwing up other parts of player movement. I won't bore you with the details, but I will tell you that your EC has been hard at work weighing the options and your OnRoto Czar, M. Coulter, has been even harder at work trying to figure out how to make this all work.
Here's what we've come up with. Sunday is a normal transaction day where you can make changes to your roster and make free agent bids on any player OTHER THAN A PLAYER WHO WAS TRADED TO THE NL ON SUNDAY! I give you the Constitution:
"Interleague Free Agent Bid (IFAB) Day
On the day immediately following the MLB Interleague Trading Deadline, the CFCL will hold a special sealed bid auction. Players who were traded from the American League to the National League on the day of the trading deadline, as well as any other free agents, are eligible to be bid upon on IFAB Day.
Players who are traded from the American League to the National League on the same day as the MLB Interleague Trading Deadline (typically July 31) are not eligible to be bid upon until IFAB Day, even if the trading deadline occurs on a Sunday. In other words, if July 31 falls on a Sunday and an AL player is traded to the NL at 9:00 on Sunday morning, that player cannot be bid upon until the next day, even though he was in the NL prior to the 3:00 PM Sunday transaction deadline."
As you can see, Former Co-Commissioner and Current Owner Emeritus, David Mahlan, anticipated a year like this and has laid out in plain English how things will happen. The only thing he couldn't have anticipated is what stat service we would be using. So on Sunday you do what you always do. Make bids, don't make bids, make changes to your lineup. If a player is traded over to the NL on Sunday THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE BID ON.
On Monday (August 1st), here's what you need to do. Submit bids on ANY PLAYER (whether they were traded from the AL or not) to David's e-mail address. I'm not posting that information here, it has been included in an e-mail to you. You must submit your bids to David's e-mail address by 3pm Monday, August 1st.
Any e-mails David receives prior to 3pm, Monday August 1st will then be forwarded to OnRoto Czar Coulter who will sort through the bids and assign the players to the appropriate teams and e-mail the teams to let them know if they received the player.
Any e-mail getting to David's InBox after 3pm WILL NOT be forwarded to M. Coulter.
As you can see, there's a bunch of moving parts in a normal year. This year there's even more. Coupled with that, I will be heading out of town this Friday so other than updating the Excel Spreadsheet I won't be able to provide Mike much support in a timely manner.
I say all of that to say this. Please be judicious in your bidding. By that I mean, by all means place bids and contingency bids. But don't submit four e-mails saying "OK, follow the first two bids of the first e-mail, but change the third bid from the second e-mail so that I have the fourth bid in this e-mail." Mike has enough work to do without trying to decipher multi-layers of bids from one owner over several e-mails.
If you have any questions, please e-mail me before Friday. One last piece of information. Here are the remaining budgets for all the teams:
Revenge - .57; Killers - .85; Danger - .75; DoorMatts - .18; Dem Rebels - .64; Bulls - .35; Ruffins - .48; Clowns - .40; Red Hots - .40; Line - .58

Reminders of Upcoming Procedures
As we enter July we are fast approaching several benchmarks in the CFCL season (aside from Dem Rebels being mathematically eliminated from the race). Here are things to keep an eye on.
All-Star Game and the Salary Cap: With Marlon Byrd being named the lone Cub All-Star (why did Cubs.com keep pushing for Soriano to receive votes?!) it means the All-Star game is right around the corner. At noon on July 13th, the Salary Cap increases from the current $3.00 to $3.50. The cap stays at that level until September 1st, when on noon that day the Cap increases by a dime.
IFAB Day: The Interleague Free Agent Bid Day takes place on the day following the Major League Trade Deadline. The MLB Trade Deadline is July 31st, which means August 1st is the IFAB Day. This year Haley's Coment arrives the same time as the Lunar Eclipse and by that I mean the IFAB Day arrives on the same day as our normal Free Agent Bidding (on every Sunday). So this year there is no special day to remember. Sunday August 1st will be the normal bidding day wherein every free agent (including all players traded over to the NL during the week) will be available for bidding.
CFCL Trade Deadline: At noon on August 1st the CFCL Trade Deadline takes place. From Noon:01, August 1st until the end of the first round of Winter Waivers no trades are allowed. Remember that in order for any trades to be official all trades must be reported to Rich along with all associated moves. Both teams must report the trade to Rich. I don't recall any issues in the past, but let's not make there be any judgement calls with one owner reporting a deal at 10am on 8/1/10 and the other team reporting their side of the deal at 2pm on 8/1/10. Technically that deal would be null and void because it wasn't official as of 12 noon 8/1/10. To be fair to the league and the integrity of the game, the trade wouldn't be allowed.
If you have any questions about the above deadlines, feel free to e-mail Rich. Keep in mind that all three components of this post are also addressed completely in the CFCL Constitution.

Coming Down to the Trade Wire
Howdy Y'all!
It's that time of the year again where we are coming to the end of the Trading Season. Here are a couple of general reminders about the deadlines, process, etc and one twist for this year.
First the twist. What do Kelly Johnson, Chris Duncan, Khalil Greene and my wife, the Lady Rebel all have in common? They have conspired to doom the Rebels to the second division. The first three by their ineffective play, the latter by well-meaning action. By that I mean that Kim has planned a family vacation to begin this Friday (July 31st) and end next Thursday (August 6th). As you can see from the dates below, she did not consult the CFCL Constitution on Trade Deadlines and IAFB Day (actually maybe she did and this is her passive aggressive way of getting back at me for leaving her with four children all day on Draft Day).
So, since I will be out of town on the final day of the Trade Season, if you make a trade on Thursday the 31st or August 1st, please report that deal (both teams with associated moves) to Mike Coulter, CCC Owner and Sportsline God. I will still be available to receive any trades prior to the 31st.
Also (although this doesn't affect what you do) Mike will check the FAAB e-mail on Saturday and Sunday in my stead.
So let's move on to the deadlines.
CFCL TRADE DEADLINE - Noon August 1st. All trades must be reported with associated moves by noon August 1st, no exceptions.
Interleague Free Agent Bid Day (IFABD) - I give you the Constitution:
Interleague Free Agent Bid (IFAB) Day - On the day immediately following the MLB Interleague Trading Deadline, the CFCL will hold a special sealed bid auction. Players who were traded from the American League to the National League on the day of the trading deadline, as well as any other free agents, are eligible to be bid upon on IFAB Day.
Players who are traded from the American League to the National League on the same day as the MLB Interleague Trading Deadline (typically July 31) are not eligible to be bid upon until IFAB Day, even if the trading deadline occurs on a Sunday. In other words, if July 31 falls on a Sunday and an AL player is traded to the NL at 9:00 on Sunday morning, that player cannot be bid upon until the next day, even though he was in the NL prior to the 3:00 PM Sunday transaction deadline.
So - in this year's terms IFAB day is Saturday, August 1st. On Saturday, August 1st EVERYONE in the Free Agent Pool is available to be acquired. Technically you can also put in a bid the following day - our normal Sunday bid deadline, but I would think if you wanted someone, you would be bidding for them on Saturday.
The Constitution doesn't specifically say the exact time deadline for a bid - just that the IFABD is August 1st. So let's keep everything the same - 3pm on August 1st is the deadline. Any bids after 3pm will count for Sunday's bid.
Here's a recap of how much money everyone has to spend. Keep in mind these numbers could change (will change) after the bidding this weekend.
Ruffins .79
Bulls .70
Copperfields .64
MooreBetter .62
Revenge .54
Kenndoza Line .54
Rebels .48
Red Hots .44
DoorMatts .30
Clowns .28
Any bids that exceed .25 will mean that player has to be kept going into next year's draft (and cannot be traded during the off season) or a penalty of one half the salary will be assessed against your 2.60 budget.
So to recap:
It's that time of the year again where we are coming to the end of the Trading Season. Here are a couple of general reminders about the deadlines, process, etc and one twist for this year.
First the twist. What do Kelly Johnson, Chris Duncan, Khalil Greene and my wife, the Lady Rebel all have in common? They have conspired to doom the Rebels to the second division. The first three by their ineffective play, the latter by well-meaning action. By that I mean that Kim has planned a family vacation to begin this Friday (July 31st) and end next Thursday (August 6th). As you can see from the dates below, she did not consult the CFCL Constitution on Trade Deadlines and IAFB Day (actually maybe she did and this is her passive aggressive way of getting back at me for leaving her with four children all day on Draft Day).
So, since I will be out of town on the final day of the Trade Season, if you make a trade on Thursday the 31st or August 1st, please report that deal (both teams with associated moves) to Mike Coulter, CCC Owner and Sportsline God. I will still be available to receive any trades prior to the 31st.
Also (although this doesn't affect what you do) Mike will check the FAAB e-mail on Saturday and Sunday in my stead.
So let's move on to the deadlines.
CFCL TRADE DEADLINE - Noon August 1st. All trades must be reported with associated moves by noon August 1st, no exceptions.

- IAFB Deadline for bids is August 1st at 3pm.
- All Players in the Free Agent Pool are eligible to be bid on Saturday, August 1st
- The Rebels, instead of bidding on the latest flavor from the National League will be fighting off mice and killer whales, tra la, tra la.
