Creating the NMEFL I had one thing in mind and that was creating a professional electric football league. How I decided to do this was to start from the bottom to the top and the first thing was the rules.
I needed the most profesional rule set I can come up with in EF and it is still a work in progress. Second is building a BOD with the integrity, EF drive and skill set that will take this to a professional level which most importantly have the respect from our Brethren. Third I will build a whole new EF community outside of what we know, currently I meet with a group of 60 individuals this Sunday to introduce EF to them in the form of coaches and refs. Every 2 weeks I am having a class to teach how to play and how to ref but more importantly bringing new faces to our hobby (will get into this part in the next issue of the Tweak.)
Next is the promoting and advertising our hobby as a whole, a collective where we all benefit from this not me individually, saying that I need your support and need everyone who participates to bring a whole new attitude you have ever had, a professional one.
The Tournament is being held to introduce this new rule set so everyone can play, understand, and critize the good and bad of it. Every Tournament winner will recieve a "Green Jacket" like the Masters, so know we are building a prestigous club of professional EF players. World rankings of all current MFCA members are currently underway so please be a member of good standings, this is how you get ranked.
Espn is covering the event and to be exactly correct it is ESPN E60 and it will be aired at the begining of the NFL season, once again this is to promote the hobby as a collective so if I was you I wouldn't miss this event.
The NMEFL league portion will start the first weekend of September with a 12-14 game schedule with paid refs and the paid ref portion will be $25 per game so you do the math. Coaches will either have to have sponsors or sponsor themselves and we have bigger plans for this than the Tournament, this is how you build your rankings get your exposure to becoming a paid EF coach.
If the camera don't see you, you don't get the exposure you need so everyone has to think outside the box, this is turning into a buisness and you have to run your team as an organiztion. Didn't say you couldn't have Def. coordinator or an off. coordinator or even a QB to throw for you in the league, if that's how you run your organiztion then that's what you do. The getting paid portion is up to what I can do as well as what you can do, If ESPN likes what they see or anyone else from the exposure the sky is the limit.
I don't want to get into the League side until the meet and greet dinner on Friday May 20th, There I can explain in further detail what the NMEFL is planning on doing. Like to take a second to thank Mr. Lynn Schmidt for everything he is doing for the NMEFL, real stand up guy and Lynn all you have to do is ask, once again Thank you very much!
I need all you guys participation and support to make this happen as well as your patience. I also urge you guys to bring your wifes or significant others to show a since of family since this was a family orientated game years ago, this is how we keep Momma happy. Don't worry I have plans for the guys only trip, lets keep that between us. God Bless each and everyone and looking forward to seeing you at this event!!!
