I totally understand a guy who wants to play at 3.3 and pulling out his old stuff from of the closet after 30 years or so. However, you can quickly get him up to 4.0 with some lead tape under his platform. However, the guy that wants to customize his figures is the guy that cannot go down in weight unless he hollows out every player and then uses a sliver of plastic to use as his platform (this is so frustrating to customizers and not worth the time). It's soooooo easy to use that lead tape to go up in weight,but a lot harder to go down when using custom figures. Also, I have found that playing in a 4.0 league as opposed to a 3.3 league weight limit allows for better performance from my team because figures are less likely to fall down on a hot spot on the board. Matt Culp plays in the Mid-Ohio league with his Cowboys that are the little miggle team. Because of the lead tape (that no one can see by the way) he is at the same weight as everyone who has customes, and everyone is happy. Don't let the guy that wants to play with custom figures out because of a weight everyone can get to.
