And please, Please don't take it the wrong way, I want to understan.

OK.. I'll try to answer.. but once again, like others, I can only speak for my opinion.. I am a member of the NHFL but I was not there in the beginning, nor had any input on the rules.. While I am an EF "vet", that was simply solitaire..
I think the NHFL rules were put into place by a small group of EF vets with experience in many different playing styles, who tried to come up with a set of rules with certain parameters. Those parameters have included using a lot of tried and true rules, figures, bases, and game boards. And while it was a lot of work getting a team together to play NHFL, it was not a "huge" leap nor a change of everything I have ever done.
Psst.. psst.. NO.. The rules don't please everyone.. LOL
But again, that goes with anything.. The fact of the matter is this.. Even if our Tornado Alley EFL/Great Plains Region (and we get along and do have a true fellowship amongst us, they are all my friends) tried to hammer out a set of rules WE wanted.. There would still have to be give and take along the way.
The aspirations of the NHFL is to be 'national' and go from coast to coast.. The more the merrier.. So.. As it is now.. It's from New Jersey to Kansas.
So in the terms of "national", it's as national as it gets in the world of EF.
Shoot, the multi-billion dollar NFL is run (basically) by 32 individuals.
