Increasing offensive player scoring relative to defense is a top priority for the QFL&#8217;s Competition Committee (COMCOMM) as well as passage of a &#8220;change of possession&#8221; rule that will clarify how to score controversial, but very rare, plays like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nfl.com\/videos\/nfl-videos\/09000d5d814a1ca7\/Saints-Defense-Highlight-WK-12-vs-Patriots-2009\" target=\"_blank\">this one<\/a> involving two fumbles. While watching this video ask yourself, what phase of the game was Wes Welker playing if he had scored a touchdown, offense, defense or special teams?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But these two amendments are only the most well known and pressing matters being considered by COMCOMM. Also being discussed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Giving QFL Colony Leagues a seat on COMCOMM. A proposal to allow parallel league members an observer status on COMCOMM initially with the ability to accrue a seat with voting rights for leagues that meet certain criteria is being discussed. Further details are being withheld due to the sensitive nature of negotiations.<\/li>\n<li>Steal a player program. Similar to an NFL team&#8217;s ability to snatch a player off another team&#8217;s practice squad, the QFLs rulemaking body might agree to formulate a way to allow something similar in the QFL. The draft rule leaked to QSN includes the right to match the &#8220;offer&#8221; of any raiding team to the losing team, but if matched the player would have to be activated (traded to active roster). The &#8220;offer&#8221; could be as much as 4 times the player&#8217;s salary, which, for a practice squad player by QFL rules, could be up to 8% of a team&#8217;s salary cap, but not less than 4%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What do you think of these ideas?
