CFBHC Recruiting

Recruiting in CFBHC is the process by which teams recruit new players.

Recruiting Structure

Recruiting in CFBHC is divided into two main parts. Incoming freshman, or High School recruiting consisting of four rounds. Plus a single round of Junior College (JUCO, or JuCo) recruiting. In High School recruiting, Rounds 1 and 2 teams will bid points on recruits. In Round 3 schools will use school visits. Round 4 consists of coaches visits. The number of points and visits a school has are based on that team's performance in the previous season. Additionally the country is divided into regions and sub-regions, teams will face penalties when recruiting outside their sub-region. All schools have 20 points for bidding in JUCO.

The current Master List is located here.

Round 1

Round 1 closes on Week ?

During round one you will allocate your points among up to 30 recruits, in whole point increments. Bids on players beyond 30, and beyond the point total will be ignored. To place your bids create a new thread in the Recruiting Bids subforum (hidden until bidding opens) titled:

"[Year] Team Mascot Recruiting Bids - Round #".

Example: [2014] Georgia Bulldogs Recruiting Bids - Round #1.

This thread is private, only the original poster can see it! All other coaches bid threads are hidden.

Within this thread, copy and paste the entire line for each recruit from the spreadsheet. It looks like a jumble of spreadsheet cells until it's posted. After posting it may be necessary to edit the post to make minor formatting corrections. Add the number of points you wish to bid to the end of the line.

An example of a bid: QB Joel King 73 220 Fr S&S Consolidated (Sadler, TX) [Scrambler] 2.5 of 5.0 Southwest Texas - 100 points

There will be up to 30 of these in your bids thread.

• Bids inside of your sub-region count at 100%. A bid of 10 points would count as 10.
• Bids outside of your sub-region, but still inside the region will be penalized by 15%. A bid of 10 points would count as 8.5.
• Bids outside of your region are penalized by 25%. A bid of 10 points would count as 7.5.

At the end of the round, all bids will be tallied. A public post will be made in the recruiting sub forum containing the results, bids are not published and will remain private. Recruits with bids will be considering all schools within 10 points of the highest bid. Schools that bid more than 10 points fewer than the highest bid will not be under consideration. A recruit will commit to a school if their bid is more than 10 points ahead of the next highest bid, including recruits with a single bid.

Round 2

Round 2 closes on Week ?

Every point spent on a recruit that was not within ten points will be refunded at 50% and a second round that mimics the first will exist with players who have no points spent on them. Players that are considering schools after Round 1 will not accept new bids in Round 2.

Create a new thread in the Recruiting Bids subforum titled:

"[Year] Team Mascot Recruiting Bids - Round #".

Example: [2014] Georgia Bulldogs Recruiting Bids - Round #2.

At the end of Round 2 bids will be tallied in the same manner as in Round 1. Bidding points are not used beyond Round 2. Recruits that were not bid on will either stop playing football, or walk on at a school in their sub-region.

Round 3

Round 3 closes on Week ? During round three recruits can be invited onto the campus of any team they are considering. In state visits are worth 10 points, out of state but in subregion is worth 9 points, out of subregion is worth 8 point.

Create a new thread in the Recruiting Bids subforum titled:

"[Year] Team Mascot Recruiting Bids - Round #".

Example: [2014] Georgia Bulldogs Recruiting Bids - Round #3.

In this thread simply list the players you wish to invite on a visit by copying the entire line: example: QB Bill Garcia 6-2 220 Fr Stephenson (Stone Mountain GA) 1.5 of 1.5 [Pocket]

Round 4

Round 4 closes on Week ? In round 4, the coaching staff will make a visit to the recruit. Round 4 visits are worth 15 point regardless of region.

Create a new thread in the Recruiting Bids subforum titled:

"[Year] Team Mascot Recruiting Bids - Round #".

Example: [2014] Georgia Bulldogs Recruiting Bids - Round #3.

In this thread simply list the players you wish to invite on a visit by copying the entire line: example: QB Bill Garcia 6-2 220 Fr Stephenson (Stone Mountain GA) 1.5 of 1.5 [Pocket]

Junior College Recruiting

In JUCO recruiting, each team has 20 points to spend. The JUCO recruiting list will have players who will enter as sophmores, juniors, or seniors, and may or may not have been redshirted previously. There is a single round, recruits will choose the school that bid the most points on them. In the event of a tie a recruit is more likely to choose the closer school, pure distance based not region based.

Cuts

Each school may have a maximum of 30 incoming freshman recruits. JUCO recruits do not count towards this limit. In the event some schools have more than 30 incoming freshman, a Cuts thread will be started, where players can be cut from the team to bring the total down the the allowable level.
