Default RD.... not really

Your post is reasonable in thought, as it makes sense, however, if you have played around the country as I have, the 3.3 and so called 4.0 are just window dressing, aka tip of the iceberg....................and no, they are not melting and will drown us in 10 years, ...but that is for another blog!

What I have found through experience, is you will have to modify or build a team for each league you play.

most leagues are Pro nfl type leagues, if you have a raiders team out fitted on both weight classes, ...............suppose the league you want to travel to play, already has a raiders team?

Each league has their "flava" with regards to rules, they may restrict certain figures, they may restrict they way you weight your players, ....... ie. lead tape or boiled bases, weight under the base only or allowed to be on the figure...........

Coach Rip,

You know you are probably much more knowledgable than I in respect to weight classes. But the few tournaments I have been in were for the most part 4.0. This is where the hobby is going. The players perform much better in this weight class. As for the 3.3 team I'm preparing, I want to have them on hand just in case as was the case at the MFCA convention some coaches don't have a 4.0 team. As for me and leagues if its a 3.3 team or 4.0 then I can play in either. But believe me when I say some of the big heavy weights in this hobby are moving to the 4.0 weight class. I have tested both 3.3 and 4.0 on my board (3924) and there is no doubt they perform better at 4.0. Please Rip no disrespect just what I hav efound to be the case.

RD
