Al, Sorry, I don't have anything left to say on the subject. The only rules that the MFCA has any real control over are the MFCA Rules which you are on the committee for. The statement includes that the official MFCA will be 4.0. There will be those that hate that and will pitch a fit, but we have to have something to work with and at least they will know far in advance that this is the case.
The classes that I wrote up are a general outline of what 95% of the leagues use and it is mean't to go in a book or pamphlet that will make it clearer to the new person starting out what the possibilities are and what he can expect to find. They really mean nothing beyond that. There will and always will be exceptions to any final classification that we put out there, but excluding the fact that there are leagues out there running at 3.3, for whatever reason they run it that way, is discriminatory also and incomplete.
I invite you to write up a clear proposal to present to the BOD and membership. Then they can be compared and the best possible answer put out as the final statement. Like I said, this is only my take on it. The discussion has been educational and debated very well, but I don't think there is much more I have to add.
Gosh, you would think we were discussing health care. (Don't say nothing RIP)
