The reason why we decided not to reach out to anyone is due to wanting a new and fresh league in the new york area. By begining a brand new venture, we thought it would be exciting and challenging to play a rule set/style that was established in texas. " THE DFW LEAGUE' . We realized the NYEFL is a well established veteran league that has it's way of doing things. We are not sure if your league is familiar with this style of play and we want the east to experience what texas and california does. We did not contact you because we wanted to make the annoucement and welcome coaches on the east to play miniature football with us. Your right, there was talk of a merger and we know your league would have wanted to incorporate some of your rules into what we are proposing. The DFW has a solid ruleset played in texas and california. These rules are not combined with any other rules whatsoever and we did not want to waver from that.

This decision was not intended as an oversight to you and any of the NYEFL. This league is open to whomever wants to play this style of football. It was not intended to be solely played by the NYEFL and our side of the house. We have many coaches interested from maryland to upstate ny. Many of these said coaches are familiar with the proposed style but have not yet been able to play it. That is what we are offering to them and all newcomers. Im sorry Some members of the NYEFL do not look favorable on this decision.
Our standings/divisions are going to fill up and we hope the members of the NYEFL want to take part in this league.
