Week 2

I will finish the games this weekend sometime, I have just been busy

*UPDATE*

I have decided to hold off on the games until the MiLF starts again. This way the CHLA will stay on pace to start the regular season when the MiLF season ends.

*UPDATE*

The games will begin again on Monday 3/24.

Jersey Cuts

As of now, there is no specific rule on jersey cuts for the league. I don't know if sizemore wants a cut rule or not, but either way I would be happy to share these custom cuts I created.

First off is the cut I used, simple, yet effective. I give you the CLASSIC CUTNext is another more retro style cut, the CANADA CUT Next is a more modern, Anaheim looking cut, the SWOOSH CUT Last, a throwback type cut, the PILOT CUT
Anyone, feel free to use these if you want.

Preseason Schedule

Alright guys, with the end of the MLF season right around the corner, it's time to get serious with the CHLA. With that being said, I have set up a 5 week preseason schedule. It is to start TOMORROW! There will be four games a week, 1 game per team, with two games played on Monday, and two games played on Wednesday. All games should be played around 7:oo PM, but are subject to change, due to my busy schedule. Don't let that woory you however, I will sim the games on time most often. With all that said, owners, players, and fans get ready for your Spring 2009 presason!
