Build a 3.2 team and run with that all over the country, if you are going into a 3.5 or 4.0 league/tourney, then add lead tape to get up to weight. One universal weight is a nice idea in theory but not practical and I never see this happening.
To be honest I also believe the MFCA does not need a rule set of their own. Why??? Does not make sense to me. We are not and should never be a governing body. Sure maybe I agree with a "re-do" of the old school Tudor rules to post or circulate to beginners, but nothing beyond that and the weight limit should not even be mentioned in these rules. Why do you need more rules than that? Beginners are not clueless, they know basic NFL rules already, if not, then the standard Tudor rules or DVD should apply. We are using a 30 year old TTQB still, why not stick with the old school rules as well. They are good and they are the ones we all used to start with. It ain't broke and it don't need fixing in my opinion.
I have seen and experienced a well tweaked 3.2 team hold their own against a 4.0 team with no problems. This comment is going to cause a lot of detractors to post up but it's fact. Far too much is being made of 3.2 vs 4.0, boiled vs non-boiled, etc...
Build a 3.2 squad and use weight adders if you need to.
Good discussion though.
