Right now, you could build a 200 inch field with McFarlane figures and it could be called Miniature Football. Dre's idea of a cap is just it....there should be something that says, no bigger than "this", whatever "this" is or classifies that what "this" is falls under "this" classification.
Model Railroading-You can't run an O scale train on an HO scale track
Nascar-I don't see any Indy cars racing against Stock cars
Boxing-160 pounders don't fight 280 pounders
It is about a standard to give our tourneys more official credibility.
Why can't we, as a community, set some standards?
By the way, calling this discussion useless is the same thing "they" kept telling us when we talked about a coaches association. 
You got my dander up when you used that word! |
Every sport or hobby has one way of playing also...............
Darts, horse shoes, Texas Hold'em, Rock, paper, scissors all are played one way. We have 20. But we all enjoy it.
Maybe I will take back the word Useless...maybe it was too negative.
This scale and getting a rule set would be used during the MFCA convo for the tourney, but I'm telling you a new guy coming in is going to play the way his region plays.
I have a 3.2 no custom 49ers team that I use in Buzzball, I have a similar team (USA Dream Team) that I use in the NHFL.
I have a 4.0 team for the BAM (49ers)
I have a 3.4 team of Oilers that I use in the BEFL & for the BASH (Did I mention they won the title???
)
I also have my 3.3 home league 49ers that I use in the NEFL
And that team is full of custom figs..from all the top guys! I have FF.com I have Franny J-boy figs on that team.
In half the effort it takes to bring a player up to 4.0 I can get him down for 3.2 or 3.3
don't sit here say you can't play with customs unless you play at 4.0???
And guys didn't say forming an organization was useless, they said it wouldn't work!!!!
