I love the idea of a multi weight team. Lineman 4.0 , TE, FB, LB 3.6 everyone else 3.3 grams. To me it seems simple to regulate. We weigh in all the players at Tournament time anyway. ?????? It is as simple as to set a rule that "NO ONE" can remove a figure from a base at anytime from check in to the crowning of the champ. NO extra empty bases allowed. A standard heighth and width can be controlled by a "cube". Pass through the cube and you are good to go.
If we let the possibilty of cheating regulate our rules it stifles us. It lets the minority rule.
Do we really believe the majority of the Coaches we are around will cheat?
Look at your league mates and answer that question. The cheaters will weed themselves out. Imediately when the game is over you simply & quickly weigh the championship teams, in front of everyone.
I personally think the conversations we have had over the past months, years whatever have revealed the interest in multi weight system.
With all of this being said. I DO NOT support Larger size figures or bases for obvious reasons that Mike Pratt pointed out. Weight is one thing Width & Heighth are another. We are all wanting to play on a bigger field now to open up the play. So it makes absolutely no sense to me to put ourselves right back out of room with larger bases or bases heavier than 1.3 grams.
Bluesman280 has it right. The visual effect is very pleasing and looks real and can be done with the rules we now have.
If we continue to up the size up the weight it will never stop and the cost will continue to go up & up & up.
We have witnessed that even within the standards today that evolution is still possible. The TDQ and TDK in my opinion are living examples. It is improvement without changing the standards.
