Fellow Owners, first of all thank you for your responses for banquet availability and award nominees. From those of you that have responded (Kenn and Professor, whatup? To good to provide us with your banquet availability?) it looks like Sundays have the least conflict (aside from Grage needing to follow his seventeen fantasy football teams). That being said, let's narrow it down a bit. Please e-mail me or click on the comment section below to register your vote.
1) October 10th
2) October 24th
October 3rd may be too fast a turn around to get the ballots out and collected. I have a late soccer game to attend on the 17th (which doesn't actually mean we couldn't have it then, I just would be late or lacking in attendance) and the 31st is Halloween so those of us with kids will be busy raking in tons of goodies.
Let's assume something in the late afternoon/early evening since Monday is a workday for most of us. We'll plan on something in the 4-5pm range at the latest tradition in CFCL Banquet, Home Run Inn on 75th in Downers Grove.
More later.

One More Reminder/Plea
Gents (. . . ok, I'll do it - and Kenn)
I would like to publicly thank the Copperfields for their nominations for the various award categories. I have also had a pledge from the Ruffins that his submissions will be forthcoming once the season has ended (not wanting to anger the Baseball Gods while in a pennant race).
My goal is to have the Award Ballot out to everyone within a week of the end of the season while everyone's memory of the season is still fresh. Between now and then I will begin to put together the ballot, but greatly welcome any suggetions from you.
Banquet
I have heard from a few owners of their intentions of trying to attend the Banquet. At this point it would seem that the best way to cull down our options would be for everyone that wants to attend to let me know what works best (i.e. Friday nights, Saturday afternoons, etc.) and from there pick a date based on majority.
2011
I completely neglected to ask each of you to let me know about your intentions for next year. If you know you're definitely in or out for next year, please let me know. If you're still considering, I respect that. I would say we need a hard answer by the end of November so that hopefully we can have the new owners (if necessary) in place in time for Winter Waivers (first week of January).
I think that's it - if I've forgotton something I'll add a new post.

Heading into the Home Stretch
As we enter the final month of the season there are some things to keep in mind:
STANDINGS: Even though the Ruffins lead by eight points going into today's games, a quick look at the standings shows as many as ten points are up for grabs. Additionally we have a three team race for sixth place. Anyone wanting to post a detailed accounting of the standings, and the ensuing race, on CFCL Forum is welcome to.
SEPTEMBER FREE AGENTS: Anyone you successfully bid on from the Free Agent Pool in September will be assigned an "S" contract. That means that the player is automatically released at the end of the season.
SEPTEMBER ROSTER EXPANSION: As of the games of September 1st (and any transaction day thereafter [Monday/Friday]) you are allowed to activate one additional player. There are no position requirements.
BANQUET PREPARATION: Ideally we would like to hold the ANNUAL CFCL BANQUET sometime in October during the playoffs or World Series. It doesn't always work out that way, but if we can get a head start looking at schedules for October, hopefully we can lock in an afternoon/evening.
THAT BEING SAID: I will start to compile candidates for the various Awards. It would be helpful if each of you could look at your rosters and nominate players you feel fit the various categories. I refer you to the CFCL Internet Headquarters for the awards that we give out and a description of said awards. If left up to me, I'm sure I'll leave off someone deserving of consideration. One other note - please do not submit four or five players from your team for each category. Usually teams will have one or two candidates and it is possible that you won't have any (i.e. no Rebels will qualify for consideration of MVP or Cy Young). Any help you could provide would be unbelievably appreciated.
AND A REMINDER: Winter Waivers will take place in early January, so over the next few months consider who you want to cut and who you want to keep (total of 23 keepers allowed for WW).
