Passing Sticks help those who dont like passing with the TTQB dice get the injuries and penalites that arent in the game on its own with the Burgess style u can get the cuts and reactions u could see in a football game!!But whos right??No one because this is a game, fantasy!! Its not real basically a board game with moving parts!!Fun is the objective and winning is nice too!!But I think fun is what most are looking for base on the time and money put into it(the game) hobby.Lets stop this one about styles and passing its getting old!!

EXACTLY!!!
No matter what....this game, regardless of playing format & style, is to be played for fun and enjoyment.
There is no ONE style for all. That's what makes this game/hobby great. It can be modified to what each player wants it to be.
So, I disagree in part because I do believe we should openly debate and discuss all styles so more people can be exposed to and find new ways of playing that may interest them and draw more people into the hobby. But there is no need to critique each style or opinion as being better than another.
No need for harsh criticism or admonishing of our fellow hobbyists....be positive, inquisitive and supportive....just like the above post!!!!
Just kidding.
We all just need to not take any topic (or ourselves) so seriously and enjoy/respect the unique variety and diversity of Electric Football.
