Can We Do This?

Expanding on something Weirdwolf mentioned in the post about Rose Bowl sets and Christmas. Can we as the MFCA produce a very simple one page tutorial on how to make the TTC and Rookie bases run straight and talk with Miggle about inserting it in every game they sell.

In the ideal world this would of course have Miggle info as well as MFCA contact info on it. Customers get their Rose Bowl set, then realize this game sucks as the players can't be controlled, just as they remember it 30 years ago, then BAM, stuck in the closet until the spring garage sale.

The one page instruction sheet would give very basic tweaking instructions on both types of bases, I mean basic stuff, just enough to get them to run fairly straight, so that they can actually turn the TTC dial and get them to run left or right as intended.

Miggle can even buy a boat load of flat nose, smoth jaw economy tweaking pliers and sell them for a huge profit on their website as well. This partnership between Miggle and us benefits us both. Miggle can sell the boards and maybe retain some customers as it will now be playable, these guys now reorder more teams, accessories, 620s, bases etc...we as the MFCA gain exposure and new members. It's a win, win situation for us both, Miggle increases sales and profits as well as retaining some customers instead of just one time purchases, they may now buy more stuff because the GAME IS FUN AND IT WORKS!!

Miggle needs to be approached by the MFCA Board and presented this idea. They already trust and have great faith in some well known coaches to test their bases out before coming to market with them. Let's get the ball rolling, what is there to lose?

Yah, I have been thinking about this and now that we are getting some repoire with Miggle, I think a one page article with photos would be a perfect item to slip in with a "Brought to you by or Provided by the MFCA" at the bottom.

The tutorial just needs to be basic so that they can take a base that sits there doing nothing and with a quick adjustment takes off down the field followed by something like, if it curves left pull prong A kinda thing.

Yes, exactly! Real basic stuff, just enough to get them playable. I like the "Brought to You by The MFCA " thing as well.

We need to work with them on this. Let's come up with a game plan and the instructions then we have something to present to them.

I think this is already done on the DVD that you receive with the game board. It's not in great detail but enough to get the player to run straight.
