The BIG Question! Take your gloves off and discuss...

[eflfanatic]

In the next couple of days I'll be outlining, a plan that I feel may be able to garner some real results in the way of a "PROFESSIONAL National League" based on existing tournament & regional league dates. This is solely voluntary and in no way will effect any established rules or customs of any particular region or league. My goal is to further the cooperation between regions through creating a competitive circuit comprised of members that frequent these events.

Bruce,

I really want to see what you are proposing. I don't think it is that far off from what we are considering in trying to come up with a series of MFCA regional tournaments.

Our membership is dropping, not growing and every year that passes it gets worse, while other hobbies such as ping pong, billiards, fooz ball, RC racing of all types, darts hell even scrabble has an audience & respect on the street, with no changes,

What do these have in common? How many different ways can you play ping pong, billiards, fooz ball, etc...? One set of rules and standardized equipment with nationally sanctioned competitions by a ruling organization.

I don't get what 's the problem in here. If someone does not want to participate to that national championship, he just has to not participate, don't you think ?

Dimitri,

I really don't get what the problem is either.
