JSN CFFL AOM 2025

Started January 27, 2025 via email

Attending owners: Darcy, Carl/Susan, Brian, JPL, David, Rob, Marina, Matt, Clay, Mike, Garts, Sabu

Non-Attending owners: Mike, Clay (on vacation celebrating his DFFL Championship)

 

The Commissioner stated that while there were no re-tabled issues from the last AOM, there was one issue that needed to be discussed before the 2025 season started:

 

1 – Last season we brought in Team QB’s instead of individual QB’s. Do we want to keep that in or go back to individual players?

Keep Team QB: Brian, JPL, Rob, Marina, Matt, Carl/Susan, David, Sabu, Garts

Go back to individual QB:

Non-Voters: Mike, Clay

*Proposal was decided unanimously

 

2 – Commissioner advised that despite not remembering where the waiting list to get into this league was, he recently had someone else ask to go on it. This prompted the Commissioner to ask if anyone was planning leaving this season, if anyone was interested in joining a 2nd CFFL (should that happen) and finally if anyone had any other people in mind who might be interested in joining:

Returning this year: everyone that voted

Interested in joining CFFL 2.0: Brian, Darcman

May possibly have others interested: Matt

Non-Voters: Mike, Clay

 

3 – Should we start the season in Week 1 or switch to Week 2:

Week 1: Brian, JPL, Rob, Marina, Matt, Carl/Susan, David, Sabu, Garts

Week 2:

Non-Voters: Mike, Clay

*Proposal was decided unanimously

 

4a – should we add punt singles to the ST/D scoring:

Yes: Brian, Carl/Susan, Sabu

No: JPL, Rob, Matt, Marina, David, Garts

Non-Voters: Mike, Clay

*Proposal is voted down and does not pass

 

4b – Brian made a proposal to switch to Team Kickers (punter & place kicker) and all the things this would help and hinder was discussed

Yes: Brian, Sabu

No: JPL, Rob, Matt, Marina, David, Carl/Susan, Garts

Non-Voters: Mike, Clay

*Proposal is voted down and does not pass

 

5 – Brian proposed that we award the QB .5/completion (rounded down as we do with the RBs):

Yes: Brian, JPL, Rob, Marina, Matt, Sabu, Garts

No: David, Carl/Susan

Non-Voters: Mike, Clay

*Proposal passes for immediate implementation

 

6 – Clay proposed that we change the QB scoring from 1 point for every 50 yards of passing to 1 point for every 25 yards of passing like TSN does in their league as it seems to be more suitable for such a high-profile position and our QB scores tend to be a bit low.

Yes: Clay, Brian, Sabu, Rob, Carl/Susan, Marina, Matt

No: David, Mike

Non-Voters: JPL, Garts

*Proposal passes for immediate implementation

 

7 – Clay proposed that we implement a cumulative scoring system, adding both the rushing and receiving stats into one. The Commissioner advised that since all the scoring is done manually and (more importantly) the CFL’s stats are filled with errors and change quite often, that would be way more work to do the scoring for both the Commissioner and The Command Center and all that extra work would only amount to an extra point here or there and neither the Commissioner nor The Command Center thought this was a worthwhile venture as long as we do the scoring manually.

Yes: Clay, Sabu

No: Brian, David, Mike, Rob, Carl/Susan, Matt, Marina

Non-Voters: JPL, Garts

*Proposal is voted down and does not pass

 

The Commissioner officially closed the floor for new business, thanked everyone for their promptness in replying since no one knew this AOM was being started when it did and yet, in just a short amount of time, there were things that were already resolved and good discussions were being had.  

 

The Commissioner then went on to do his Commissioner Report.

The Commissioner went over the finances, advised that all the prize money had been paid out immediately and that the league balance was at zero.

 

The Commssioner advised that he wanted to remove the $10 for the division Runner Up and offered 2 different payout options. One that just gave the Division Champion the extra $10 and one option that changed all the payouts but also detracted from the amount that the Commissioner would get for running the league.

The vote was 10 – 1 for giving the Division Champion the extra $10 and leaving things the way they are as far as what the Commissioner gets for running the league. The Commissioner was very grateful.

 

Normally the Commissioner would have taken this time to advise of the new divisions for next season, but forgot lol.

 

The Commissioner said that he would advise everyone once the site was updated with the changes from the AOM, divisions were set and schedule was done and officially closed the AOM.

 

If anyone has any questions or concerns, please either e-mail me, leave a post on the league message board, or contact me directly.

 

Thank you all for all your input and attention to detail, that is what makes this league such an enjoyable league to play in. Good luck to all of you in the upcoming 2025 season!

 

JSN CFFL Commissioner,

Darcy “Darcman” Antonissen
