SPORTSMANSHIP

All owners in the CFL are required to practice good sportsmanship at all times. Sportsmanship is defined as "conduct and attitude considered as befitting participants in sports, especially fair play, courtesy, striving spirit, and grace in losing." American Heritage Dictionary, Fourth Edition (2000).

Some examples of unsportsmanlike conduct that may subject an owner to discipline include: 1) changing a player's position for the sole purpose of lowering his ratings; 2) releasing a highly rated player late in the season to help another team; and 3) throwing games.

Other Rules

• A team may never have more than 70 players under contract at any one time.
• No team may sign any player who was released after Week 17.
• Conditional trades are prohibited.
• Draft picks that are not available in game cannot be traded.

• During the first stage of Staff Hiring, all staff (Head Coaches, Offensive and Defensive Coordinators, and Scouts) who were under contract the previous season may only receive contract offers from their most recent employer. Coordinators provide the only exception to this rule: they may receive a Head Coaching offer from any team during this stage. Violation of this rule will result in the offending owner's export being disregarded for the Stage 1 Staff Hiring sim.

  Staff Hiring stages 2 and 3 will be run normally. Staff who were not under contract the previous season may receive offers from any team at any time.

• Any free agent asking for 3 or more years MUST be offered a contract for at least 3 years for the duration of the first (pre-draft) 12 stage free agency period. In the second (post-draft) free agency period, any contract may be offered.

  Any GM violating this rule will have the player immediately cut (thus penalizing with bonus payment) and will also lose a draft pick at the Commissioner's discretion.
