A meeting of CHFL club presidents and secretaries on Thursday night set Monday, June 29, as the date for a final decision on whether a season goes ahead.
CHFL president Doug Hobson said after frank discussion it had been decided more information was needed with regard to match-day protocols before an informed decision could be made.
"We'll reconvene on June 29."
He said clubs were looking for greater detail on various operational matters which would need to be met under COVID-19 restrictions.
"They're a little rubbery at the moment."

Hobson said the CHFL was looking to AFL Victoria for more information.
He believes detailed match-day protocols are set to be released sometime next week - a timeline which would give clubs time to examine and discuss guidelines and regulations before the CHFL's next meeting.
"We're making progress, but some queries remain."
Hobson said none of the 17 clubs had ruled themselves out of playing this year.
He said some were set on playing, but there were clubs which were not in a position to provide a firm indication until more information was to hand.
