I have thought about this for a while. How about a round robin tournament where everyone has to play the opposing coach on their field by their rules for a real home field advantage. Probably want to keep it small. No more than maybe 6 to 8 guys. All rules have to be published on the solitaire board in advance of the games so the other coaches can get a chance to familiarize themselves with them if they wish. Also no weight limits or equipment restrictions.
It wouldn't be so much to see who wins but to see the different rule sets in action and to have fun. Keep it as low stress as possible.
I planned on playing a league this year but life happened (court custody battle for my kid; my job went through a massive restructuring etc.). The reason I play solitaire is that I can do it on my own time and still have plenty of time left to spend with my family which is really important to me right now. In other words, with all that is going on in my life, I need to keep my situation as low maintenance as possible.
If there was a tournament like this for the solitaire players to get together with out all of the commotion about rules, equipment, schedules, and just general bickering, I think it would a be a blast.
We could call it the MFCA Solitaire Super Bowl Tournament or something.
