How about a National Miniature Football league

[jimmie]

The Tourney of Champions I like that lets make that happen I will sponser it here in Detroit with help!!Lets form a committee!!!

[artlax]

for clarity.

I think a National Championship Tournament - with the champions from each league across the land.

Not talking about another league - I understand the NHFL thing - that is not what Jimmie is talking about.

Once again - I think it would be a great idea.

Adrian,
I will stand corrected but the question then was not asked clearly. It did say a national "League" and stated the "shootout rules".

Whatever it is I will support what the coaches want. No arguement here.
I think we know each other well enough to know I just love to play the game. Remember..... YOU have alot to do with that. You have talked me off the cliff before.

Now, if that's clearly understood, the next step is the rule-set. The only thing I could think of is setting it up similar to the MFCA convention, where everyone would play at least one game under a different rule-set.

Anything other than that would probably not get much support. Someone would ultimately feel slighted if bits and pieces of various different rule-sets were used to make one rule-set.

There has to be a way to keep the all-inclusive theme going. I know if we keep at it, eventually, we will get there.

Yo Geno,

It's all good, man. I can't wait to get on the board with you again. BTW, I will be initiating an order soon for some of your F-5 bases.

As for the "Tournament of Champions,” this would be a huge feat. Not sure if it would ever be pulled-off, but if so, I think it would take relentless efforts by many relative newbies (impartial minds) and it would have to also involve the unwavering approval and support (several ways to support including financial) of the following coaches and the leagues they represent:

Reginald Rutledge (and the DFW)
George Diamond (and the Harrisburg League)
Paul Bartels (and the NHFL)
Eric Robinson (and LAEFL)
Greg Hardmon (and the Detroit/Great Lakes massive)
Tom Johnson (and the DC Crew)
Jasper Long (and the Dirty South)
Bryan Nutt (and the Dixie League)
Corey Johnson (and the Philly Peeps)
Geno Hendricks (and the Tornado Alley League)
Lynn Schmidt (and the MFCA)
Don Smith (and the TBA)
Artlax (and the CYNEFL)
Morgan/Wally (and the BAM)
Jeff Priest (and the Mid-Ohio League)


and a few more that I just can't think of right now.

It would be very difficult to get a few of the aforementioned coaches on the same page, but that is what I think would have to happen for this to work. Who knows... maybe it would take a much simpler and less organized effort. These are just my opinions based on the things I’ve witnessed and experienced since 2003.

PS
Sorry if I got some of the names wrong.

Would be representing the CNYEFL.

He is the commish.

I am just the trouble maker!

But I would love to see something like this.
