MFCA business meeting agenda item-MFCA NATIONAL LEAGUE

[WEIRDWOLF]

The following has been added to the agenda for discussion at the MFCA Annual Meeting. Please feel free to begin discussion at this time via the forum so that we can finalize this within the time limitations of the business meeting.

The MFCA National League
Each MFCA Member is automatically a member of the league.

The first regular season starts August 10, 2009 and ends July 4, 2010.

Each MFCA coach may play up to a maximum of 8 games, each with a different opponent. Both coaches in a game must be MFCA paid members at the time of the game.

You may play with ANY rule set that is currently in use. Only your local league games and tournament games that you already play can be counted. Non league or non tournament additional games may be scheduled if so desired, but these must be submitted for approval prior to the game being played and a MFCA approved witness must be present.

No tournament seeding games (unless played as a full 4 quarter game) or shortened version games are counted.

Arena games, because of their unusually high scores and solitaire games are not counted.

Tap outs can only occur after the end of the 3rd quarter. The coach tapping out gets NO points. The winning coach gets points as per the points schedule. If a coach taps out BEFORE the end of the third quarter the game is not counted and neither coach receives ANY points unless the winning coach chooses to accept the win and the points scored to that point of the game. In either case, the losing coach who tapped out, gets NO points.

Both MFCA coaches must agree before the game begins that the game to be played will be counted as a MFCA National League game.

At the end of the game, both coaches and a prior approved MFCA witness or MFCA official must sign an official MFCA league form and submit it to the MFCA statistician.

Points are awarded as follows.
20 points for a win + points scored
0 points for a loss + points scored
At the end of the season, you will get an additional 10 points for every win any opponent you have beaten gets.
For example:
Coach A beats Coach B 21-7
Coach A gets 21 + 20 for a total of 41 points
Coach B gets 7 points
Coach B goes on to win 6 more games against other opponents. At the end of the season, Coach A gets an additional 10 points per each of Coach B’s wins added to his end of the regular season total. In this case, 60 points would be added to Coach A’s end of the season total.

After July 4, 2010 the season will be over and points will be totaled. The MFCA coach with the highest points will be awarded as the regular season champion.

At the 2010 MFCA Conventions Coaches Points Challenge Tournament, all MFCA coaches, based on their point totals for the regular season will be awarded “seeding” points. 1st 100 points, 2nd 95 points, 3rd 90 points, etc. (These point totals may vary based on the number of participants but an amount of 5 points will separate each seeding.) On Sunday morning at 11:00 at the 2010 convention the top two point total getters during the Convention tournament will be announced and they will meet in a head to head MFCA National Championship Game. Each coach will choose a rule set to play 1 half by. There will be a 60 minute halftime to prepare their team for the second half unless both coaches choose the same rules.

The two coaches in the championship game will receive trophies and cash prizes to be determined.
