COACHES,

What does a 3.2 team do for you that a 4.0 cant ? At a time it was suggested that if a coach wanted to use a ff.net figure to play in various places, a coach had to

1) cut the head off the figure

2)Get a dremel tool and drill a hole down the middle of the figure

3)shake out all of the excess plastic

4)glue the head back on

5)weigh the figure over.


JUST TO PLAY A OUTDATED STANDARD WEIGHT BASED ON EQUIPMENT THAT WAS THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN DURING THE KENNEDY
ADMINISTRATION.

This so called standard had to be formed way back when where the game only saw

1)miggle regular size men with the dot on the helmet

2)haiti repros

3)Miggle small metal superbowl fields

I would understand 3.2 or 3.3 if we were still only using the above mentioned equipment. We now have

10watts boards

2)308 boards

3)scale size boards

4)ff.net figures

5)miggle proline figures

6)jennings figures.

etc etc etc

equipment used to play this game in 2010 is quite different than a product made 30 to 40 years ago. OFCOURSE STANDARDS HAVE TO CHANGE TO KEEP IN LINE WITH TODAYS CHANGING WORLD.

No one thought grown men would take this game to another level. This is not a box on the shelf sitting in toy's r u s. Due to the talent of our EF peers who bring new and exciting products to the hobby. We have the luxuary to enjoy the game on a new level.

A new comer may get discourared in he see's he must make 3 to 4 different teams to compete. Also, financially, he may not want to do it because of other family needs. But he still wants to create a team to his liking.
A 4.0 cap places every other weight class under it's umbrella except.
unlimited.You can still have your 3.2 and 3.3 under the umbrella. That same umbrella allows for customs and heavier figures. So all is covered. We can keep it simpe and have in writing 2 forms of equipment that will be standard to weight your teams.

1)tungsten weights

2)golf tape

have in writing were these items can be found so a new comer knows exactly where to buy everything he needs to weight his team using the 4.0 umbrella.

Thanx to all for having a diplomatic discussion and not taking things overboard
