i haven't read every post, but from what i can gather everyone is itching to update the accepted rules/regulations standard that has been in place for a long time. what if instead of doing away with the old standard entirely, it's broken up into different groups of difficulty.
easy (for beginners)
intermediate (restricted to traditional methods of pass/pass placement/kick/etc...and regular base tweaking)
advanced (come one, come all. boiled bases/ spring loaded kickers/ etc...)
there could even be a chaotic division where anything really does go (ok, maybe not
).
