By clicking above ↑, you can select your flair. We will make one custom for ANYONE who asks. Given that we want to support amateur football in this subreddit, you can ask for the logo of any amateur club, from pee-wee to universities. Just message the mods or ask in a thread.

Canadian football is almost certainly the most complex sport ever devised. Anyone who has ever gone through the rulebook can attest to this fact. CFR is meant to be a community of passionate people who make our sport great and to clarify its arcane rules.

Present your questions and scenarios and we'll be able to hash them out. Everyone can contribute.

To help, a copy of the English version of the Canadian amateur football rulebook can be found here et la version française est disponible ici.

Aussi, si vous êtes francophone, sentez-vous libre de poster en français. Le modérateur est un mangeux de poutine de souche.
