Here is what I think we are trying to achieve.
When I was into model railroading back in high school, the first book I picked up explained clearly on page 1, the sizes of model railroading from N scale to O scale. None of these were the "standard". They were preferences to a persons space availability and just what appealed to him. I chose to go with HO scale because it appealed the most to me.

The difference between model railroading and us is they had a "page 1" that explained,clearly, the scales and advantages and disadvantages to each. We don't have that in EM-F, at least not officially.

I want to be able to hand a book to a newbie and on page 1 he can see that there are 3 weight classes and also explain that leagues in his area may have variables to these, but these 3 weight classes are standards to begin with.

Capeche?
