The
CFL Combine (formerly known as the
Evaluation Camp or
E-Camp) is a three-day program in which athletes from Canadian universities and Canadians in the NCAA are scouted by general managers, coaches and scouts of the
Canadian Football League. The goal of the camp is for the nine
CFL franchises to have a better idea of who they would like to draft in the
CFL Draft which takes place about two months after the camp. The first combined Evaluation Camp took place in 2000 in
Toronto and since then has continued every year in Toronto. Since 2014 there has been regional combines in Edmonton, Montreal and Toronto in the week prior to the National Combine. The regional combines provide a wider scope of athletes with the opportunity to be evaluated by CFL personnel. The latest combine in Toronto took place March 27 to 29, 2015.
