As commissioner, I would like to begin by thanking everyone for their support of this league. I think last year was the best year this league has had and I am looking forward to many more years of hosting this league.
The 2008 season of Caterina’s coaches brings only a few minor changes, and as is tradition, any changes in the league will continue to take place only with the approval of the team owners/coaches. These changes have always been minor and in the spirit of increased friendly competition. In order for this league to be the best, it is important for all league owners to participate in both the post season survey and in voting for the annual league awards. I encourage everyone to share their thoughts in order that the league may continue to improve and provide fun for everyone who participates.
Please take time to make a few posts on the league discussion/trash talk board. This will be the third consecutive year for the current teams to be in the league. I would like to think that we have all gotten to know each other, but this may not be the case. I feel the discussion board is the best way to get to know each other while adding to the fun and competitiveness of the league. I appreciate the teams that did a weekley recap and I hope that will continue this season. As always, all trash talk is viewed strictly in fun, for fun.
The league will continue its live draft in Morgantown, WV on the last Saturday in August. The draft order for 2008 can be found in the box to the left. Membership is currently closed to new teams. If any team leaves the league, I will consider adding a team to replace the departing team. Any new team will draft in order of registration following the first pick (not the "keeper" pick) of the established teams. This means that any new team will actually be a round behind everyone and will have an extra pick at the end of the draft to make up for the "keeper". More information will follow closer to the actual draft day.
The league will continue the $3 registration fee to help pay for the trophy. Last year's trophy has been well received from the feedback I have heard. The trophy will be the same for this year.
Changes for 2008 include scoring changes for a defensive shutout and missed extra points and allowing the team of an injured player the first opportunity to pick up that player's backup - all voted by a majority concensus of the team owners. Teams may go to the settings page of this website to see the scoring changes for 2008. If you have questions regarding these changes or would like to know the results of last year’s post season survey, please feel free to contact the commissioner and discuss.
This website has been designed with the intent to keep all teams informed of league activities and changes through the year. Any comments on the website or any information that teams would like to see posted on this website may be directed to the commissioner through e-mail.
Good luck to everyone this season in their quest for the coveted Triple C Bowl Championship. May the best team win.
