As Chairman of the Rules committee I need to know what the membership of the MFCA wants. A very welcome and much appreciated poll and topic not "trash" or a "waste of time"!!!

Well, the numbers speak for themselves. So far, 90% of the people want 4.0 as the 'official weight standard' I'll type this real slow so that everyone understands....
This doesn't mean that you have to play at that weight, or change your teams.
What this means, is that now,
finally, all you have to do is make one team and you can play against anyone else. Just one. For new people, it means they can go ahead and start with a 4.0 limit, instead of trying to figure out what class to shoot for.
This is not a ridiculous idea. What I find ridiculous is seeing 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 4.0, 4.2, 5.0, unlimited..... A person would go nuts trying to set up teams for every weight class out there. Now you only need to set up one at 4.0, and you should be ok to play against anyone else at 4.0. That's it. No need to cut players apart and drill them out to make weight. All figures and all bases. No exclusions.
I've played my entire life with teams that are 3.3 or under. Every team I have is at this weight. I'm perfectly happy with the way that they run and perform.
I am not going to change any of them. They will always be at 3.3 or less.
BUT, now I will make a 4.0 team.
Just one, and I will be set to play against anyone else, any time, any place, because hopefully, they, too, will have a 4.0 team.
Now, hopefully someday real soon, we will also have a universal rule set to play by. One that we can all use our 4.0 teams to play against each other with. That doesn't mean that we all have to play by those rules at home or in our leagues, it will simply be one rule set that would be a 'standardized' system that anyone can adhere to and play against anyone else. Just one rule to learn instead of 10 or 12.
Is this concept too difficult for anyone out there to understand??? If you're still confused or upset, PM me and let's see if we can come to a mutual understanding.
