What a waste of time.

Instead of focusing on scales that are not needed, we should focus on recruiting materials, instructional DVDs, league building packages, sponsorships and advertising deals, etc...
I did want to speak to this also.
Promotion of the hobby can mean many things. Yes, producing DVD's brochures, ad packages, etc is promotion, but so is setting standards. In order to write a brochure or sell advertising, we need to show that we are organized and have fair competition. Rules and standards are the foundation to us being able to promote the hobby on a more advanced level. Being organized and showing that we know what we are doing gives us competitive credibility and gives anyone wanting to start up and compete a fair chance to compete and succeed. Firm guidelines is a way to promote and may be the best way to promote!

Just my thoughts...Shabby and I always go at it...LOL I can't wait till July when I'm in LA to get on the field with him and settle it once and for all.
