Rintaran Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The article was just updated with the following: Editors note: In a subsequent email to Sportsnet, the CPL confirmed that in addition to the roster requirements mentioned above by David Clanachan that another rule mandates that a minimum of three domestic players on each team must be under the age of 21 AND those players must play a minimum of 1,000 minutes per season. That's a bit of a change. Definitely working on development of young players. I think this works as extra push to keep on some of the U-Sports draftees beyond training camp. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Ruffian, matty, Soccerpro and 13 others 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Great rule.. Chile has something similar but for u20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 1000 minutes is about 11 complete games each, so that isn't token playing time and means teams are probably best advised to have significantly more than three domestic U-21s on board that can potentially achieve this, so they don't put all their eggs into one basket and create competition for that playing time. The Easton report hasn't been completely forgotten by the looks of things. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hopefully they are waiting to finalize the details of a blockbuster TV deal that they can announce at the same time. johnyb and grande 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Odds on they still have to finalize their main broadcasting deal and that's what caused the delay. Is there not supposed to be a big announcement at the end of the month now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Someone mentioned a huge announcement from the league coming early next week. If it is from the league, it is likely schedule related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpg_29 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'm guessing the "huge" announcement is the broadcasting deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's honestly gotta be TV deal and / or schedule. I don't think there is anything else big enough to warrant a press conference announced a week in advanced. m-g-williams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickC Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The CFL schedule was released last week so we know stadium availability in Hamilton and Winnipeg. And MLS is also out, so next up is CPL. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpursFlu Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 To me the schedule would be an announcement. MAJOR announcement would be broadcast deal or maybe a title sponsor or some kinda major sponsorship. Hoping for broadcast and hint would be if a media outlet starts to promote the " Major Announcement" and others dont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but it's not as common deschamp86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM3/MM2/MM Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I would expect they will announce both at the same time. Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
