unity across

[Vince148]

This is what I think we can standardize in this hobby to make it much easier...

1. Weight limit...4.1...You don't need separate weight classes. This is not boxing or wrestling.
2. Offense in dark; Defense in white
3. All bases allowed. No boiling.
4. Whatever way the figures come is acceptable.
5. Figures cannot be altered in a way that exceeds standard poses.
My logic on #4 & 5 is this...I know that Reggie's rules say that a shutdown corner's hands cannot be spaced more than .25 in. However, some figures like the BB figure exceed that. These figures would be allowed. However, you cannot create a custom corner with arms that exceed BB's corner and play it.

As far as game play rules are concerned...this is where leagues and tourneys can vary. Some may use passing sticks, others TTQB or some combination. Some may use multi-stop, others one stop. Much leeway here.

So looking at this from a new coach's point, I can now have a choice as to where I want to play based on the different rule sets. But at least I know that the only team that I can afford to put together can be played anywhere.

Hope this makes sense.
