Rules
Easy guys, I did not mean to offend anyone or any style by not stating or naming other rule-sets that are well done in terms of specifics, and no harm taken on my end. I thought the original rules 2000 were well done and provided a great set to draw wisdom and specifics from. I have read other league rule sets over the years just to get the knowledge and decide if anything appealed for solitaire play. In terms of competition I have the most experience with NHFL and BuzzBall rules so naturally I stated those. I learned a few things about the DFW rules at the Brawl but I have not studied those rules for a few years but they had a great deal of specificity as well. I understand there is only a limited market for any EF rule book and thus Miggle sees no need for one that looks like an “official rule” book, which hurts the hobby in my opinion. The original Tudor rule book was written with less specificity intentionally to allow kids to be creative. Unfortunately for formal competition we need all aspects of the game spelled out and enforceable. Like I said before, we can debate and tweak the rules via a public forum but when we get in the room together, the rules don’t seem to get in the way of a good time. Just look at how well the Green Room Rumbles go off each year with minimum specificity.
BTW- if the Brawl was to hold an after hours players tournament sporting the teams from the U.S. military academies, we can call it the “War Room Rumble.” Ray F./Manhattan Ray/Mr. Unity 2006
