I personally think that IF the MFCA is truly about the MF coach then they or we should simply IDENTIFY what standards are already out there.
The WEIGHT standards are already there and they have identified theirselves.
3.3 & under- many leagues use this
4.0 & under- many leagues use this
unlimited- very limited use
Yes I agree there are a couple of Leagues out there that use some odd weights I liken that to "house rules" a little of the norm and it is only in a couple of areas.
That is just one area of standards. You have heighth, width so on and so forth.
I think this single question of 3.3 vs 4.0 has handed us confusion and division (in thought). So many people have answered this poll in a different manner and for different reasons. It has yielded as much as the thought that was put into it.
This is a much more important issue than to simply throw up one question and make decision.
For the Coach:
I think we need to simply IDENTIFY the standards and then educate the coach and let him make his own decision which will probably be handled on a local level and take care of itself.
For the Manufacture:
This is where we want to save ourselves from an ARMS RACE. We dont want to let the Standards to steadily increase causing our equipment to become outdated and no longer useable. It will becaome a money pit and ruin the hobby.
