Soon (hopefully) I’ll be posting information about voting on CFCL Awards. Voting will take place using an on-line ballot, just like last year.

To prepare, you can visit the Awards section of the CFCL Internet Headquarters (http://members.aol.com/dmahlan/award-fm.html), which lists a description for each of the awards as well as past winners. Remember that voting for MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year are done on a write-in basis, so start giving it some thought.

Just a week ago, there were days where the Hard Hats had pulled within half a point of the front-running Lambchops, and even tied them on one day. Since then, however, the Lambchops have steadily pulled away and at the time of this writing they’re up by 7.5 points. The size of that lead belies how close the race is, however, as there are still plenty of points in play for both teams – even with only three games left.

And while the Lambchop-Hard Hat battle is the most visible race, it is by no means the only one. The Reservoir Dogs and Tenacious B are locked in a mortal battle for 3^rd place and stand only half a point apart. Likewise, only a point-and-a-half separates Da Paul Meisters from the Ruffins in the fight for 5^th place and the #1 draft pick in each round of the 2004 Rotation Draft.

Things really get intense in the second division. The Six Packs are probably the CFCL team that is most secure in their position. They seem to have a solid hold on 7^th place, but the Stones are only three points behind. After that, only 3.5 points separate the DoorMatts, Dem Rebels, Picts, and Copperfields.

What it all boils down to is this: for the first time in a long time (perhaps ever), every CFCL team enters the final three games with the chance to finish in

But just how possible will it be for any of the 12 CFCL teams to pick up 2-3 points at this late date? Never fear, as in years past we’re here to break down each of the categories and identify exactly where points can be won and lost. Usually, we focus just on the contending teams, but since pretty much every team is in contention for something, we’ll just go category-by-category and identify the spots point movement seems possible.
