Election Day Poll- MFCA rules?

[Treks1]

Should the MFCA create a set of MFCA rules that may be used at MCFA regional and other events?

I say yes! My suggestion is that we break up rules by catogory and have a group of coaches work on those categories based on the rules used by current MFCA and Solitaire leagues.

Once adopted the MFCA rules would be used for MFCA regional events and as A rule set along with other rules used at the MFCA Convention . The rules could be amened from time to time and over time could be seen a nationally recognized set of rules that are the work product of coaches and leagues across the country.

Coaches please vote today and tomorrow.


Thanks. I am MFCA member number 4 and I approved this message.

There are a lot of great rules sets out there.

I don't think another one is needed.

If each league and tournament can have their own, different rule set - then why can't the MFCA have a rule set that they use for MFCA competitions and activities?

Seems to make sense - coaches adjust players and create teams based on different league and tourney rules if they want to play in them.

Only cause at the convention it made it fun playing multiple ways. The only thing I would change is at the tourney before the game you should draw outta of a hat which style of play you play. plus if you do make up a set of rules it would cause a divide cause some people might get upset cause one of ther rule or rules won't make it




just my two cents

get upset when they CHOOSE to go to a tourney and some of the rules are not "their" rules? Seems silly. I would guess if they don't like the rules they don't go to that tourney or they choose to adapt.

And this is not to say that the "open" tourney could not still exist at the convention - just include the MFCA rules set as well as one to try.

Man - amazing to me that whenever rules or styles of play comes up people get sooo crazy, defensive and "isolationist" in their views.

I play in two leagues with vary different rules and enjoy both - but that is just me.

I guess what most want is something like the US constitution - "The MFCA will not prescribe or promote one single rules set." Although the poll seems to indicate otherwise.

I think you're taking this a little bit too seriously based on the bolded part above.

I just don't think we need another rules set, that's all.

I am not for or against these rules but if it is to be a MFCA project then how does a new set of rules help us achieve or apply to the mission statement that we were founded under.

Mission Statement: Unifying the miniature football hobbyist by promoting miniature football, educating the public and providing a unified association which recognizes and supports the diverse coaches and leagues.

I am asking this because we seem to be off course, unable to complete the items voted on at the busness meeting, unable to complete the committee asignments, unable to respond to a once a month MFCA newsletter, unable to submit an article to the magazine on time or at all. Yet we want to continually start something new under the MFCA flag. If a new rule set is wanted then the membership should of spoke to get it on the agenda for a vote. When I asked for agenda items, I recieved 2 responses out of 160 members. When I asked the MFCA reps, "are you working on dates for your regional skills contests?" I recieved 1 response to a simple yes or no question.

This can not continue to work this way and I hold my self responsible for not providing more direct leadership.

If MFCA rules are wanted, then how do they serve the directives of the MFCA and our purpose for existing? Does the membership understand what the MFCA is here for? If not, then maybe take a few minutes and think about it.

I am only looking for answers and this should not be taken any other way.

I see our own rules unifying the MFCA as all members and regions can take part in their development. A true group effort that will benefit the hobby in the long run. Based on post and resopnses not everyone agrees and that's fine too....

I appreciate the reminder of other regional/ MFCA tasks. I hope that we can make room for the rules project and include it in the agenda soon.

I will be in touch with you regarding some of the issues you have raised.
