The Executive Committee (EC) will vote on rule proposals May 13-19. You can comment on rule proposals up for voting, view the voting results and any rule changes in the TDFFL forum: tdffl.freeforums.net/. If you want to post on any topic and haven't registered yet, you can do so by using your team name as your user name.
