THE GREAT TWEAK OFF is a go!
 

On Friday, August 6, 2010 at 5:30-6:15 pm just before dinner, we will hand out 2 half sets of same run new bases to the first 20 signups (signup at the door, when registering for the convention). You get to keep the untweaked bases as a prize for entering.

You will have 45 minutes to Tweak 2 bases for strength and 2 bases for speed while onlookers heckle and tell you how great their tweaking skills are compared to yours, if they could of only entered.

The tweaked bases will be run through the skills competition by the MFCA staff on Saturday and winners will be announced that evening and awarded the Golden Pliers trophies. One for speed and one for strength. The tweaked bases will then be split into 2 sets and raffled or auctioned off (TBD) by the MFCA as a fundraiser.

The field used will be an older Miggle Superbowl field. The exact same figures, (one for strength, one for speed) will be used on all bases.

Here is your chance for input...What stock, not customized, unpainted figure should we use for the Strength bases? Speed bases?

since we will only be tweaking a few bases, use either the haiti repro DB or 67 DB.....

I am in!!!!

Fab 5 or buzzball
 

Mr Everything for speed

The crouching tackle or the wide arm guy for strength.

I may enter this contest to show my prowness as an expert tweaker!!
(spiderman bases)

..with great honor and humility I am in!!!!!! HR wide are or tackle or The Molester Fig for Strength and speed.....HR tackle or mr everything or The QB HR or BB Fig..

Can you use heat or straight pliers action?
Candle warmers or cold pliers?

we need to know the do's and dont's before the "Great Tweak Off"



"I am off to see The Wizzard Tweak College Graduate Program":fghttt: :fghttt: :fghttt: :fghttt: :fghttt:

You can use whatever works for you. Pliers, sandpaper, candle warmers are all legal. The idea is to find the strongest and the fastest while giving the new people and bystanders a chance to see some of the techniques. This way it can be a learning session also. The only exception is: No added chemicals or oils.
Also, you can choose to tweak all 4 bases or focus on 1 or 2. Its up to you.

for an extra challenge i think you guys should try and get the bad run of proline fast miggle bases to ACTUALLY BE FAST! :rtfl:

What type of bases will be using for strength and/or speed?
Or will we have a mixture or combination to choose from?

Not determined yet, but I believe one of the two sets will be Prolines. I will let you know as soon as I have it confirmed.

What two sets would you like to have? They should be from two different manufacturers.

Sets to use
 

I would suggest Miggle Proline TTC's and Buzzball Directional Bases.

Any Miggle TTC for Strength and Buzzball Speed Diamonds for Speed.

I would say let people use any base or stock figure (currently being manufactured). Let the tweaker decide...this would be very interesting. It add a level of depth and differentiation to the competition....who will win, what base will they use, what figure do they use to get the most out of the base?

if you have some, bring them.... we can do a side wager on them to raise more loot, if the tweakers are down for that.:fghttt: :fghttt: :fghttt:

let's do it full blast
 

okay since what type of base is in question, let's do it this way

miggle group:

fastest TTC
strongest ttc

fastest rookie
strongest rookie

Fastest Proline strong base
Strongest proline fast base

Buzzball group

DDB strong
DDB fast

any rookie fastest
any rookie strong

K-Lo
I like it. Only thing is there could be 5 different winners in each category.
Then how would it be settled as to who is really the overall winner?:confused:
Any other ideas on how this could work?

My 2 cents
 

I'm kinda new at this this, but I was liking the idea of same bases and figures "defined" for all, for conformity. Like whomever said, Proline strong TTC or a strong Proline rookie would work as well) for strength and BB speed diamond for, well, speed.

That way it's apples to apples and simple. Just my humble opinion as I can equally poorly tweak any base:)...I'm in no matter what is decided...I need to be assessed against the best in order to get better, however, I still can't PASS above 55%, why do I suc so bad, embarrassing, I tell ya.

Great in practice at home alone w/no one watching, choke in game, it's all in my head...I need therapy:rtfl:

No therapist should ever enter that cranium of yours they would look like:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: and haul arse:rtfl: :rtfl: lffng$ lffng$ lffng$ lffng$ :nhnh: :nhnh: :nhnh: :nhnh:


Geno H

keep practicing is the only way to get better! you have to create "game situations" in practice so that when you have to make the same pass in a real game, it looks like the practice field....

DDB's donated by Buzzball will be one of the sets used in the Tweak Off. The other will be announced soon!

Great Job!!!!!!!!1
 

Way to go Rip!!!!!

I'm good working with those babies!!!
