....perhaps if a coach who wins a league or tournament, does not give big props to his contracted tweaker(s) is because he wants to credit for the win(s) and not to have it dimished by others, (if they knew of his purchases of tweaked bases)
" the only reason he won is because he bought his team."blah blah blah,,...........I even had one coach beg us to NOT sell any of his league mates bases, and
"Please don't let them know you did my bases", ......TRUE STORY,
And another time when I had thought outside the box and tweaked a TTC a certain way, totally within the rules, the league commisioner let me know in no uncertain terms that will
not be allowed for next year....
Painting figures and detailing them does NOT give a competitive advantage, but tweaking does, and being the competitve animals we are, who wants to let the cat out of the bag, ...............I remember in the "dark Ages" when boiling was done by a select few and the rest of "us" were ignorant to boiling and tweaking, .....................heck we didn't even know how to spot a boiled base, guys were getting pummeled 50 - 0, ............now that is a great way to keep new guys coming back to your league ...........
