COACHES,


These rules are NOT meant to replace any standing league/tourney ruleset. These rules should be developed so the MFCA has a home base for it's own rules. WE HAVE A MAGAZINE, A CONVENTION AND MANY OTHER OUTLETS THAT HAVE MADE THE MFCA SUCCESSFUL. IT'S TIME TO HAVE ITS OWN RULESET. A UNIQUE RULESET.

I like what eflfanatic has said

1) If was made for electric football you should use it.

2) Figure out how to beat it.

***I AM TOTALLY AGAINST MAKING EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING EQUAL. It seems the emphasis is to create this even ground then let the game begin.
When the emphasis should soley be on coaching. "FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEAT IT (THEM).

**I think the weight should be unlimited then craft the game around that.
(ie: So a coach cannot use his brute strength to dominate an offensive or defensive line. NO STACKING, 1 BASE LENGTH TO SEPARATE EACH OFFENSIVE LINE. PLAY 2 STOPS PER EVERY RUNNING PLAY. EACH STOP CAN BE 2 SECONDS. Then the offense and defense can shift/adjust to cut back against the grain or find a different hole to run through)

*** FROM 1950 TO 2009- IF IT WAS MADE TO PLAY ELECTRIC FOOTBALL IT SHOULD BE USED WITHOUT QUESTION. (Figure out how to beat it)
1)metal QB
2)BROWN BASES
3)BOAT BASES
4)BOILED BASES
5)ETC ETC ETC

***LET THE COACH CRAFT HIS TEAM IN HIS OWN EYES.
If a coach did some research/homework in locating these hard to find ef products. He should be granted access to them in any game situation.
I am totally against "IF IT IS NOT MASS PRODUCED IT CANNOT BE USED."
?????? WHY MUST EVERYONE/EVERYTEAM BE CREATED EQUAL TO PLAY ????

****AS LONG AS EVERYTHING ON THAT PLAYER IS NOT HANGING OUT ON THE SIDES FROM UNDER THE BASE OR ELSEWHERE, HE SHOULD PLAY.

I think many rely on the equalization of the equipment, rather than there ability to CHANGE OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE SCHEMES according to what the opponent brings to the field.

***in the rule book there should be a tutorial on how to

1)weight your players

2)boil bases

3)tweak bases (ofcourse)

4)mini basic playbook for new begginers (diagrams draw by coaches).

***Give a brief description on why coaches boil bases, tweak bases, etc etc

THE MISCONCEPTION OF PASSING IN ELECTRIC FOOTBALL

First off, i do not think there is no such thing as a crutch in electric football passing. JUST DIFFEENT WAYS TO THROW THE BALL.
***The way a coach throws the ball is not really part of a ruleset. The ruleset is the TIME FRAME he is given to get rid of the ball

In many leagues now there is a 15 to 20 second clock for the coach/qb at the time to make the pass play. Some think that using some forms of passing slows down the game. What i do not understand is if i can make the pass in 15 to 20 seconds using any form of passing. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO THE OPPONENT WHICH FORM I CHOOSE ????? I made the pass in the 15 to 20 second WINDOW WHICH IS IN THE GUIDLINES OF THE RULES)
***The emphasis should be on completing the pass in the most comfortable manner for you. ( THIS SHOULD NOT BE LOOKED AT AS A CRUTCH). You still have to hit the receiver to make the play.

I had a conversation with someone who in their league, the cut up cigarette butts and use them to pass with there hands. He said the absolutely love it.
I think many newcomers would adopt this method until they get comfortable with other forms of passing.
**If passing via your hand, the only criteria should be how high can your hand be from the field. You cant get as low as the players so give a realistic height. Maybe a standing ruler on the side to make sure the hand does not go above that. If it does, INCOMPLETE.

***PASSING FORMS
1)TDQ/TTQB
2)METAL QB (IF YOU HAVE ONE)
3)PASS PLACEMENT STICKS AND FOOTBALL
4)PASSING THE BALL WITH YOUR OWN HAND
IN ANY GAME SITUATIONS, A COACH SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE 1 OR ALL OF THESE MEHTODS IF HE LIKES. (AS LONG AS THE PASS GETS COMPLETED IN THE 15 TO 20 SECOND RULE TIME FRAME)

THIS WAS MENTIONED BEFORE.
The weight of the players can be different but a players height is another issue. someone suggested creating a player cube for height and width while on a base. If the player can not fit into the cube comfortably, he is too wide or tall.
