Question HEY ROOKIES...and Veteran coaches too...HELP NEEDED...this is easy....

The Rookies Guide To Miniature Football
The Tweak staff and other volunteers are going to work on a 20 page booklet to be ready by the convention in August which will answer the 20 top questions by rookie coaches.

We need everyone's help (your duty to promoting the hobby and game of miniature football) in answering:
What were the first questions you had as a new miniature football coach? We are NOT looking for answers right now...just the questions you had!

Please take a minute to think about when you joined this hobby and give us at least 1-5 questions you had.

Funny. I'm working on a MF 101 video for that same reason. It's too bad I can't sing as well as Reg or it would have some pizazz!

I'll add some stuff to the list after a few more posts to see if I can fill in some blanks.

Default ok...

What are water slide decals and how do you apply them? (after wondering why they did not stick to my figures)


How do you tweak bases?
Where can I get a great running board?

Is there an easier way to apply facemask?


Where is a good source to match paints of my favorite teams?


Who is Weirdwolf and why is he allowed in here?

Default The questions...

my students and friends have asked me:

How do you play the game?

How do the men move?

Isn't that the game where the guys just run around in circles and such?

How do they catch the ball (ie; how do you pass)?

How do they tackle?

How do you punt and kick-off or kick FG's?

Did you paint those guys - they are cool - where can you buy them?

Where can I buy the game?

Are there penalties?

These were mine all based on tweaking, figures, weight, formation, type of bases to use, etc to:


Best to open holes for running?

Best to get receivers open?

Best to stop receivers?

Best to stop run?

How to use loopers?

How to stop loopers?

Funny thing is, I still can't answer these same questions

How do you get these friggin decals on?
