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

The perception of what we do needs to be changed by we, the mfca members that fuel this entity. WE MUST BEGIN TO CONSIDER WHAT WE DO A SPORT. When an outsider hears or sees hobby, they may take a i'll look into later attitude. When a person hears or sees sport, they may act alot sooner in getting ivolved. This is due to men having that competative spirit in many things. The art of battle in the sports world. There are many organized basketball leagues throughout the country that do quite well.

Therefore a standard rule administered by the MFCA must be in place to have structure.Just because a paticular ruleset is played in one region, that does not mean everyone in that region likes that ruleset and may be looking for something else. WE NEED TO SPEAK TWO LANGUAGES.

All coaches should be fluent in the ruleset they like and a STANDARD RULESET admistered by the association the are a part of. This will allow yourself flexibility all over the world. two big tourneys i have seen come to mind.

1)my first and their second seawall brawl

2)the miggle in baltimore.

They both were jammed packed wall to wall. I WAS THERE LIVE IN THE FLESH.
many coaches from different regions and rulesets showed up to play.
Who's rules did everyone have to learn, miggles and the seawall brawl's or the ruleset they play with from there region. YOU MUST BE FLEXIBLE AND WILLING TO ADAPT. We will never see eye to eye on regional rulesets and the fall back should be a standard that all mfca members will have to learn .
It's like being in school and learning a second language.
spanish or french. If a coach from a different region ventures out to a paticular region where the rules played their are not familar to him. he can say lets play a game using the mfca ruleset. This is ofcourse, all took the time to learn them. I personally feel. ! rule learned by all is a sign of unity.
NO ONE IS ASKING YOU TO FORGET HOW YOU PLAY TODAY.
Just add a course in spanish or french to your credit.

I KNOW THIS IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE FROM WHAT WATTS IS PROPOSING.

KEYS PLEASE.
