unity across

[Vince148]

This is what I think we can standardize in this hobby to make it much easier...

1. Weight limit...4.1...You don't need separate weight classes. This is not boxing or wrestling.
2. Offense in dark; Defense in white
3. All bases allowed. No boiling.
4. Whatever way the figures come is acceptable.
5. Figures cannot be altered in a way that exceeds standard poses.
My logic on #4 & 5 is this...I know that Reggie's rules say that a shutdown corner's hands cannot be spaced more than .25 in. However, some figures like the BB figure exceed that. These figures would be allowed. However, you cannot create a custom corner with arms that exceed BB's corner and play it.

As far as game play rules are concerned...this is where leagues and tourneys can vary. Some may use passing sticks, others TTQB or some combination. Some may use multi-stop, others one stop. Much leeway here.

So looking at this from a new coach's point, I can now have a choice as to where I want to play based on the different rule sets. But at least I know that the only team that I can afford to put together can be played anywhere.

Hope this makes sense.

wolf,

can you seperate this like you did the rules section. That seems to be working out really well. There has been no confusion since it was created. I hope all understand this is not your typical 3.2 vs 4.0 argument. IT IS BASICALLY POINTING OUT A CHANGING OF THE TIMES IN MINIATURE FOOTBALL. I glad wolf understands were the 4.0 enthusiast are coming from. NOBODY SAID TO GET RID OF 3.2 SO IT IS NOT THE SAME ARGUMENT.

Alot of the time threads get steared in the wrong direction for no reason whatsoever. WE JUST TALKED ABOUT CHANGE. Nobody disrespected the 3.2 weight so i dont see where any of the points were missed. 3.2 was included to stay and come along. The community must think outside the box and listen to the new blood in the hobby. One or two people may think each weight is right for them. but with 200 members plus we must now listen to everyone. we cannot let the fate of miniature football rest in the hands of a few people like it was years ago. There are many coaches playing today with new ideas on how the game should be and there ideas should be heard and respected.

I think everyone should attend the MFCA convention because wolf has created the perfect set up regarding all weights and styles. THAT IS THE FIRST THING I SAW IN THE HOBBY THE REPRESENTS TOTAL UNITY. You had to be there last year to see it. NO WEIGHT OR STYLE WAS LEFT OUT. no holding teams hostage while we wen't back to our rooms. Everyone took there teams,came back and had fun playing a buffet of styles.

SO FOR THE SAKE OF THE HOBBY, PLEASE CREATE A THREADS SECTION ON THIS TOPIC TO ACCOMEDATE EVERYONE. PLEASE ALSO INCLUDE UNLIMITED WEIGHTS


THANX
