eSFL Teams Break Camp

The 2009 eSFL season officially starts their 10th season as all 12 teams broke training camp today at 0700 EST.

Football is in the air. The weather outside shows the all telling signs and teams of the eSFL move from their training camps and are prepared for another season. The 2009 eSFL Two-a-Days ended at 0700 EST with several teams quickly making their final roster adjustments and some even announcing their starting lineups.

This season there were a few teams who simply did not grasp the Training camp concept. League officials handed out as many as five penalty's to owners who made illegal transactions. Otherwise, everything went smoothly and the intent of eSFL training camp was met. eSFL training camp was started in 2009 for several reasons, but mailny to reduce the rounds of the draft. With the draft being reduced owners would still have more than half of their roster slots open. Therefore, training camp was incorporated to prevent single teams from "raping" the free agent list before other owners could make additions. If all owners could grasp the concept it would be a perfect system, as it stands it's almost a perfect system. The league has announced it will write and add to the bylaws and guidelines the penalty's to be incurred by illegal training camp actions.Currently, the commissioner makes these decisions solely, basing the penalty on actions required to return the team to it's condition prior to the illegal action. From the league office, future penalty's will actually be such, returning the team to a state that penalizes them in such a manner that they will understand the importance of following the rules concerning the period.
The season is just around the corner and fans are fired up. Many are dissapointed that some games on the schedule have been eliminated, as double header weeks were cancelled.
Now is the time to show how well your ownership prepared for opening day. We all know that the eSFL Ballistic Bowl is won by acqusitions made throughout the season, not the draft. During the draft everyone gets great players, the difference is made by those owners who make the sleeper pick ups and wonderful trades.
Good luck and hapy eSFL'ing.
