Isn't that what Miggle is for? Unreliable boards, unbalanced figures and a starter set of rules.
I'm with Corey, WHERE ARE THEY GONNA EVER PLAY WITH THOSE RULES?
The MFCA-Con is the only scenario where someone has a choice of rules. After that and actually during that time at the United Way/PFUFA event, we're gonna find out where the new guy that just walked in off the street is from and point him to his Regional Rep, who should say, "There are many ways to play, but this is how WE play in Your Town, USA. What team do you like? Let me introduce you to some of the fellas and I'll give ya a little scouting report on each of them."
How does one get competitive? Bring your rooty-poot Miggle team to the dancefloor and get skull-drug up and down the field. If you don't ask the right questions, then you pretty much don't have what it takes to advance beyond newb status. You'll be the perennial doormat until you do. "You" being figurative, of course, not anyone in particular. EVERY league has that guy. I love that guy and wish I was that guy sometimes. The guy that doesn't care if he wins or loses. The guy that tells everyone he works with that he plays EF/MF/BB with his best buds in the whole wide world every week. The guy that even if you tweak his team better than yours and give him a playbook, he'll still run the same play 50 times just to see if it works 1 time. When it does, he's whooping and hollering like he hit the lottery. BUT...he's playing...and he's playing the way HIS LEAGUE plays.
Leave MFCA independent and void of a specific rule set, or make the rule say one thing..."ANY WHICH WAY YOU PLAY, ON ANY GIVEN DAY, HAVE FUN!"
