Default Dre.....???

I fell your pain Dre, but I look at things from this perpective...Wolf already spearheaded an event that could be the end all be all of gatherings for the Miniature football community. Its in August in Canton, Ohio and its been set up for a long while and I hope eveybody can make it...but they reality is they won't and for several factors which is disappointing. I think people like the idea that you talk about but lets face it, tournaments are mainly regional events, with the exception of some long distance travellers which add something special to those tournaments that are fortunate enough to draw them. I see the multitude of tournaments as a realistic and good thing- more opportunities to play and to build regional support for the hobby. I agree for someone who wants to travel to an event or two (or three or more) it can make it confusing and challenging as to which ones to select, however for the majority of people who don't travel their reality is to play regionally. For travellers Miggle used to be "the" big event (manufacturer), and the Brawl is a great event (coaches run), now we have the Canton event (run by MFCA). When Reg's CBSMF tournament in Las Vegas happens it looks like that will be a great event and I am very excited for that.

Bottom line- we need to let the businesses be businesses and the coaches be coaches. The MFCA is the coaches, lets not forget that. The MFCA is probably your best bet for trying to create an event like this- so please everyone come to Canton and support the MFCA event to make it the best it can be!
