Default It's Great to See the Solo is taking...

on a life of it's on! Matt, I like that idea about some SCA (Solitaire Coaches Association) that you brought to the table! I think that would be something that could flourish.

There are so many more people than we think play alone! Others are considering it too. I talk to many people who are so intrigued over what's going on with the "solo" that it's made great inroads in such a short amount of time.

This may be the only form of miniature football where no one can stop you from having the type of creativity you want to have. You can get the stadium going, the crowds, the fans, the cheering, the snow on the field, etc. I saw Tomkat's site and I loved it! Matt, you've got 25 seasons going strong! Jim Jackson has been playing alone since 1996 (Both him and I were doing our thang back then)! 46Defense is getting ready to start too!

I would love to see some sort of newsletter of all these solo leagues just as a way to keep in touch with what each other is doing! I would definitely offer specials to my solo buddies too!

So much can be done here! Plus, no arguing and no combative situations where you can control the scene.

I love solitair league just becauase people can play with your or help out, and you can still get the fellowship, but you can run it however you want. If you like bowl games, you can play bowl games. If you like playoffs, you can run playoffs. Any rule you want you can apply. I'm excited to finish some teams and expand my 4-team league to 6-8 teams for year 2. Also, I've added a new venue with a homebuilt board, so that will be cool to.

I can't remember if I've posted this on or not, but after I finished year 1 of my league, here is my updated web page

Default League

As I live in Richmond, Va. where there is no organized league due to a lack of players, I have a solitaire league as well.

As many of you know, I paint and decal my own teams. More than a few of you own my teams (Thank you). As I plan to paint all 32 teams and as many pre-cut decaled teams that Beenutt can come up with, I add each newly finished team to my league. I am 16 strong as of this post and have almost finished the New York Giants.

My 9-year old also competes with me on occasion. He has me working on saints team for him...

I play four offensive plays per team, per half. Interceptions or punts, close an offensive session.

I to kickoffs and punts with Chris Lemays card set and also use the buzzball sticks for passing if it looke unlikely that I will get a pass by a defender. I also reccomend the sticks for any novice player of whom does not have the passing skill fine tuned.

Play on.......

Coach Francis

Default Great site

eagskerfan,

Love the website and videos. Keep up the good work. Especially love the point system for choosing the MVP. Very interesting.
