[beenutt]

Below are the rules for the fastest player and strongest player competitions for the MFCA skills competitions to be held at the Seawall Brawl!

Fastest Player Contest

The purpose of this contest is to provide medals and recognition to the MFCA coaches with the fastest player. The fastest player contest will be administered in the following manner:

• • The contest:

The fastest player contest will be divided into the two following divisions. Each division will use the same rules but will only be competing against MFCA coaches within that division. You decide which division you would like to enter. You may enter in both divisions if you desire!


Division A: 3.2 grams or less for base and figure total. The MFCA coach may use any figure that is currently being sold on the market. The figure may be customized. No added weight is allowed. Decals, facemasks, and visual accessories not intended to add weight are allowed. Figures are allowed to be down weighted (drilled, platform thinned, etc). The base must be a standard type base common to the miniature football industry and must be approved by the MFCA contest representative. The bases may be altered by removing material but cannot be boiled.

Division B: No limits on weight. The MFCA coach may use any stock or customized figure as long as the figure conforms to realistic human dimensions and form. You may use added weights under the base and boiling is permissible.

Each MFCA coach may enter up to two players for the contest. These can both be in the same division or one in each division.

The contest will be run on a standard metal field. The field will be divided into lanes by dividers running the length of the field. There will be eight lanes per event run. MFCA coaches will draw numbers before each race to determine the lane assignments (1-8).

The number of player entrees will be divided into a number of equal groups of up to 8 players in each group. Each group will race three times with the coaches drawing the lane assignments before each run. For each of the three runs, the player will be awarded points for the following finishes:

1st place: 10 points
2nd place: 5 points
3rd place: 3 points

The player with the most points for the three rounds in each group will advance to the finals.

The finals will consist of the fastest player from each group. The finals will be performed in the same manner as in the previous rounds: three races with the players drawing lane assignments before each race. The points are awarded as in the previous round. The player with the most points after the three races will be receive the official MFCA gold medal.

An MFCA representative will determine the speed of the board. The MFCA representative will also administer the races and will be the final authority on judging the outcomes of each race.

NOTE: TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE STRONGEST PLAYER CONTEST, YOUR FIGURE MUST SHOW NOTICEABLE FORWARD PROGRESS. YOUMUST DEMONSTRATE THIS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CONTEST.

Each MFCA coach may enter only one player for the contest!

The contest will be run on a standard metal field. The contest will be performed at midfield. Side walls will be used to keep the players engaged. Each strength contest will be a “one on one” contest with another player. The contest will be a single elimination contest. Each coach will draw a number to determine the bracket placements.

Each “one on one” contest will consist of two parts.

In part one, the figures will go head to head at midfield. Side walls will be used to keep the players engaged. End walls are placed at each 40 yard line. The board will run for 10 seconds. If the base of either player contacts the end wall during the 10 seconds the board is stopped and the stronger figure is declared the winner of that part of the race. If neither base touches the end wall at the end of 10 seconds, the distance that the strongest base travels will be measured.

Part two of the contest will be performed in the exact manner as part one except the figures will swap ends. The positive distance traveled by each base will be added together from both parts of the race and the base with the most positive total distance wins.

An MFCA representative will determine the speed of the board.

The MFCA coach with the “last man standing” will be awarded the official MFCA gold medal.

An MFCA representative will administer the contest and will be the final authority on judging the outcome of each contest.
