100 inch scale size board breakthrough

[WEIRDWOLF]

I personally feel that 5mm = ft is closer to actual scale, but if we are using American inches (for simplicity) than 1/2 = yard is good with me and acceptable. I have a McGhee field and going bigger than that seems to serve no purpose...it is (in the words of my kids) gia-normous already!
I do like this discussion...it is important that the hobby sets some scale as other hobbies have, model trains and wargaming for instance.

That for the size figures, and field in relation to the actual measurments of the NFL size field the the Mcghee size field, and or a field cover that is 61X271/2 is the actual true scale to be on. Any thing that is under or over is NOT scale.

I'm sure that some may not like the fact, however the facts do not lie.

RIght on Anthony and Wolf. Exactly what I have been trying to get across fro some time now.

It is my observation over time that many who try to go larger than the afore stated measurments are actually looking for some type of advantage in the game. They can't see that they are hurting the game and in some cases hurting the hobby. ( My opinion )

I would invite you to visit my web page http://www.mpflfootball.com/teams/index.htm
click on any team link in blue and look at the stats, and compair them to actual real life football stats. Look at the balace between run and pass, the # of tackles, sacks, points for & points allowed. I tell you that because playing this system on an true scale boards gives you more than you could ever hope for, and nothing I have ever played on can compair to it.

If ,"IF" you want the true football experience nothing can compair to playing on an actual scale size board, NOTHING!

I want to say thank you to Mr Jerry Mcghee for comming up with this board, when I first saw it I knew I had to have one.

I don't know if I 'd like that playing system (and if I am ready for it ) but I love the look it give to the game, and understand why some people are interested in playing on real scale fields : it's really impressive !

I can tell you that every player on you're team is involved in the play so long as they are not touching players from the other team.

If you watch the NFL NETWORK and follow the NFL PLAY BOOK then you will see the system and better understand the system.

The players are allowed to do there job through you, and not through luck. The more you know about the game the better you're odds of winning.
You actually have to coach each position on the field and think for that player as if that player is you.
It is truely a chess match.

However the system is not for every one, and it is more than a football game it is a teaching tool for football.

Thanks, Anthony.


I readed a lot of things on your system. If I understood correctly, the tweaking skills are less essential in MPFL ?

I did have the opportunity several years ago to scrimmage Jerry on his Big Board and it is fun to play on. It would be great if we could get a manufacturer to mass produce these boards. Perhaps the owner of a cabinet shop. The company I work for could do it. We have a graphics department that could produce the field graphics. I may have to look into this.
