You didn’t say buzzball, but it sure sounded like the buzzball style to me. What would the weight limit be? I’m not a big fan of the chop sticks…. Especially on un-weighted figures that will jump when the board comes on.
I’m with Jimbo, the set up of the convention was perfect, and I hope it stays that way. Now if we are talking about forming a MFCA league, similar to the NHFL, where you have regions set up, and we could hold the playoffs sometime during the convention. I would go with that. But to divide the hobby and say this is how you play the game is not a good idea. New coaches will adapt to the style that is played in their area, or region. If they don’t like those rules, they can travel or play solitaire. There is no right or wrong way to play this game. But if I had to choose 1 style, I would go with the MPFL, or Burgess Style. I would make some modifications to make it league/tourney friendly, but I would stay with the core set of rules. With that style no figs are left out since you are adding weight (unlimited) to all your players. This would alleviate the problem of coaches having 3.2, 3.4, 4.0 or 4.1 players. Throw some lead under the hood, and roll. I would use the nhfl attak passing. With the weight of the players there would be no movement once the switch is turned on. I would incorporate some of the action box, for fumbles and dropped passes. I would allow both coaches to go to the other side to attempt passes only.
Now if we had a MFCA members league, that’s how I would have it. Regions would be set up according to our 7 areas. Everyone would play in tourney style jersey. Offense dark, defense white, just in case the same teams played each other.
But I would not change the convention set up. It was sweet seeing everyone go at it, trying out different rule sets.
