BigBlue Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) http://www.tsn.ca/cfl-rules-committee-voting-on-changes-today-1.703119 Rules Committee:: "The committee, made up of coaches, general managers, referees, players’ association representatives and league officials, spent a large proportion of its time this week discussing alterations to the coach’s challenge process in an effort to reduce game interruptions. Last summer’s mid-season change to put a timeout at risk with every challenge is expected to stay. Under the proposed change, coaches would only be allowed to challenge 30 seconds into a commercial break. Last season, coaches could wait until the end of a two-minute break before challenging a play. Illegal contact pass interference away from the play/ball remains a challengeable offence, but the command centre will be given a strict mandate to only uphold challenges on clear and evident fouls. Once this standard is upheld, the rules committee believes fewer challenges will be made. TV broadcasts will also go to commercial break for most challenges, which should result in better flow and help keep the length of games in check. The standard for roughing the passer is also expected to be tightened up. The committee will vote on only upholding roughing the passer challenges when the quarterback is in a vulnerable position or in the act of passing. Low blindside blocks on interceptions and kicks will also be outlawed." Edited March 22, 2017 by BigBlue wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardCoreBlue Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 On 1/13/2017 at 11:41 AM, HardCoreBlue said: Immediately after a play is whistled, a coach has 20 seconds to decide whether he wants to challenge the call. After twenty seconds elapses, that play can't be challenged. Almost there . . . 'A recommendation tabled by the committee Wednesday requests coaches no longer be able to challenge a play following a television commercial. It approved, coaches would have to throw their flag within the first 30 seconds of the break rather than be allowed to wait the entire duration before doing so'.
