[WEIRDWOLF]

OK don't take me wrong on this . I am going to play devils advocate for a second.

Here is my latest invention. It's the lead weight linemen.

Ask your self is this legal to play in your tourney?

My point is that we can't let everything go. There has to be some definition to what we are doing .

As we formed the MFCA one of the first things we put in place was this definition.
The MFCA defines Miniature Football as: Miniature football players on bases which are propelled over a miniature football field through the vibration created by an attached electric motor.

I think that the hobby still has to portray the look and feel of football as much as it can. I don't want to see the day again that someone shows up with 40 layers of clearcoat and all the arms cutoff just to win the game. This is why rules are put in place. That's not saying that rules can't be changed as the hobby progresses but lets make sure that we are moving forward and not backword. In the case of Al's kicker I see it as a forward move. In the case of the guy that stacked 5 pennies under his player, I see that as a backword move whether he won the game or not. Of course that is only my personal opinion.

Ultimately I agree with what Michigan Joe wrote. Embrace the many ways to play and enjoy the company. Most of all have fun and if you are not having fun then either buck for change, start your own league or find a league that fits but always have fun!

In the case of the MFCA skills rules there is no need for a petition. We have a process in place and every coach that is a member will be able to vote on Als kickers after this season of regionals. I look forward to the process and if we can have this many dedicated people casting their votes as we have discussing this topic it will make for a tremendous strides in miniature football.

This is an excellent discusion. Please keep this going.
