Only one reason ...
That I can see for a single, unified rules set - and that would be if we ever wanted to hold a TRUE national championship tournament or play-off.
World Cup - teams from all over the world, different languages, etc... - play by one rules set.
I kinda think that if they can pull that off - then we could come up with something that would work.
But again - I only see the need if it is for a TRUE National Championship tournament.
And just like all the tournaments out there now - the coach who decides to go and play in it decides to play by those rules.
Now - if the MFCA wanted to create a section (archive) where copies of all the rules sets could be found and downloaded/looked at by newcomers - that would sound like a good idea. That is exactly how my son and I came up with our house league rules - looking at and then picking and choosing the rules we like.
