CFL Rules Committee

Calling All CFL Fans! Let's Work Overtime on Our Overtime!

Last year we asked you for your ideas on ways to improve our game and we had a tremendous response. So this year, we're inviting your input on possible rule changes again, across the board. In particular we would like to hear your thoughts on our overtime format and how we can make it better. Here are some questions to start the discussion:

  1. Is the series-of-downs format superior to the old system of extra overtime periods or halves?
  2. Should teams scrimmage from somewhere other than the 35 yard line?
  3. Should teams be required to drive for a touchdown instead of settling for a field goal, or should teams be required to attempt a two-point convert following a touchdown?
  4. Does the overtime format really need changes, or is it already as good as it can be?


Have your say below
. We will take submissions until February 15.
