Horrible idea and a waste of time. We already have a scale standard, all currently manufactured figures fall within the same scale as it relates to the others, give or take a few millimeters. A scale figure standard is not needed.
Differences in game boards as mentioned will never go away. We have guys using 620's, 308's, Watts, Rollers, boards made by Celo and Bill Porche, boards made by their own owners and I am sure I have forgotten a host of other board makers as well.
Are we seriously going to ask coaches not to play on their $500 fields because it does not fit the scale standard?
Are we going to set aside excellent running fields in a tournament or game day to play on fields that run like an 10 year old's science class experiment just because it fits the scale?
This is never going to happen, there are too many fields out there in use that cost too much money and run too good to even consider this.
Bad idea, a tough sell and really not time well spent. You would never get this community to agree on one scale size field anyways.
Just my two cents worth.
