What would football be like if every one weighed the same, ran at the same speed?

Unfortunately due to the nature of the athlete (figure+base) you need some limitations so that everyone is on an equal playing field.
I find that a 4.0 max is an OK ruleset, it allows you to go up to 4.0 if you desire at certain positions or leave them bone stock if that works for you, but the option is there,as well as a ceiling, no matter what you do, you must stop at 4.0.

I think it makes sense, a lot of people are slowly turning to 4.0 finally and starting to see the benefits. I on the other hand have actually begun to see some benefits in going lower than 4.0.


I agree, diversity is needed, but if you have a nationwide thing going then a weight limit is nice.

Just my opinion. Good to see you posting. You got a college team prepped for the CBSMF?
