Extremely Urgent Attention!

...but, specifically speaking about the MFCA Convention/Tourney, not the MFCA on a day to day, our 1st priority should be to make next year's United Way event BIGGER and BETTER now that we know what we'll be dealing with.

Yes, I think RIP's starting point is a good one - for newbies - but then as we've preached for almost 13 years, it doesn't matter how everyone else plays as much as how YOUR local group of guys play. Step 1 - say "hi" on the chatboard; Step 2 - FIND YOUR LOCAL GUYS!!! What about the wiley, old vets?

With that being said, I still think there are things we could ALL learn from actually playing the different styles at each MFCA-Con - as opposed to dissecting, disagreeing, comparing, analyzing, etc., etc. here on the chatboard - and then take that back home with us and possibly adjust our own rulesets if there's something we like, or not if we don't.

Now, if the thought was that there needs to be a little more organization at future Cons, then I'll agree with that. Granted this was our 1st, and ya know how 1sts go!?! Maybe we should/could have specific tables setup for each style with a rep or two to "supervise" and make it voluntary/mandatory that you rotate (from left to right, if we want) so that everybody then plays every style at least once. I think an AAR from actual gametime could be given as retrospective writings, either here or for the TWEAK, and then again water down all the similarities and continue to build-up the MFCA-style. Maybe we can do that between now and then, maybe it'll take another year. IMHO, I think pushing a national set of rules WILL MOST DEFINITELY rekindle the flames of fury, hatred and whatever else of old and may stifle us again.

Coaches,


life would bring us another child if. "meaning a new style owned by the MFCA.

WEIRDWOLF, MATT AND AL-D would ask the start up committee to submit three names privately to be on board to create the official MFCA ruleset to be printed in book form with illustrations and all the nuance's so anyone from 6 to 90 can understand with ease. Just an idea i was think about was to forgo 1 traditional tweak and make that edition an official rule book with play's and everthing for coffee table reading.

THIS WOULD BE FOR ANYONE WHO WAN'T TO PLAY BY THE MFCA RULES ONLY. I HOPE EVERYONE STILL CONTINUE'S TO PLAY EXACTLY HOW THEY ARE PLAYING AND CHANGE NOTHING IN THERE ARSENOL.

This is strictlly for anyone who want's to start a league with this ruleset and for newbie's to learn IF THIS IS THE RULE'S THEY WANT TO PLAY BY.

I think in the past we tried to force feed things to coaches who were already happy doing what they are doing. This is for the coach who wake's up one morning and say's i want to ply this way.

if two league's on seperate coast go in this direction they will have a connection. little by little it will build momentum once coaches hear how successful they are playing in a MFCA format.

AT LEAST LET'S SEE IT CREATED AND KEEP IT OPEN TO THOSE WHO WAN'T IT. One nice thing would be is at least it is in PRINT and readily available for the consumer.

THEE OFFICIAL MFCA RULEBOOK AND GAME INSTRUCTIONS
HAS A NICE RING FOR ALL WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND THE ROAD IT TOOK TO GET HERE.
