I kinda figured you'd do well in this, BC. Nice work so far.

The AIF has taken over the team and will be announcing their new schedule shortly. We'll have to watch to see if they use different players (their next game is 5 May at Ontario). I dunno, I think they qualify under the Mississippi Hound Dogs qualification of "home games are gone and the league's taking over" rule.

The league fired the Hound Dogs coach and brought in a new one who's going to make up a whole new team (a replacement team). If it was up to me alone I'd put Cali as "folded" now, but I want to stick to the spirit of the rules as set, so I'm waiting to see if players stick around or not. If everyone thinks we should count them as "folded" now though, I'm with you and I'm all for it.

The Western PA Sting dumped their best players off to the Johnstown Generals this week (best is subjective) and folded (if you could call what they had a team to begin with).
For their game against the Eastern Kentucky Drillers last night, the Drillers brought in the Letcher County Wolves semi-pro team as a replacement opponent and beat them 105-8.

California has cancelled 2 home games now. I think they should be declared FOLDED for the contest purposes, even if they are brought back as a travel-only team with some of the original players. What's worse than cancelling home games? ... isn't that folded? What's everyone's take on it?
They've cancelled all their remaining home games btw.

The Indianapolis Enforcers didn't bring enough players with them to Port Huron last night and had to use some of Port Huron's backups to field a team. The voting on this issue was that it's not folding for the contest purposes.
I can tell you next year for this contest though I'm going to make it easy. If you cancel a home game (rescheduled because of hockey playoffs is ok, as long as the game is played later) or don't have enough players, then that will be folding next year. If you can't play a game, then you're a dead duck IMO. Switching venues from a home game to an away game because you don't have money or an arena will also be folding next year. These teams are just making the sport look really bad. Why even turn pro? Keep it at the semi-pro level if you know you can't handle it beforehand.

Sounds like W. PA and California are done.
And I'm all for the rule changes you suggested for next year.

Would the Macon Steel also count since they've canceled home games & are using a replacement team from Chattanooga on the road?
