Universal Rule Set

[eflfanatic]

I voted yes and as I have stated many times that is what I hoped the MFCA would do. Perhaps we need another governing body for this? Do I think it is ever going to happen? NO. As you can see from the previous posts - stipulations and "my style" or "our style" already being promoted over others.

I do have some suggestions but don't have the time tonight. Will post again later.

EFLfanatic,

You are correct about the stipulations coaches try to set referring to the style of their league. As far as looking to an outside party for help on this issue or any other issue involving electric football, I must disagree with you. We should never allow a non-electric football hobbyist to make decisions involving this hobby. All issues involving this hobby must be handled by us; the electric football community. Outsiders will not treat this hobby as if it were their own. There is no one more worthy of this hobby than true electric football hobbyists.

It will be difficult to come to an agreement on what should be included and what should not. Perhaps we should not worry about that and just move forward.

For some reason, I am concerned about the involment of the guys from the West Coast and Texas. I want them to be involved and well represented, but at the same time, I do understand if some are content with their particular rule-set and only that rule-set. Not trying to cause any problems fellas, but this is something I am truely concerned about.

Am I being selfish about having most, if not all, areas represented, involved and accepting of this idea? Or, should we not be too concerned and press forward on this and let the chips fall where they may?

I do believe that this can work, especially with the amount of knowledgeable and talented coaches we have as part of this community. You guys continue to amaze me with your accomplishments. It's no doubt if this can be done, I think it;s more of a question of how it will be accepted/supported by the community.

Let's just make it happen!

Great point Adrian! it does not make sense not to make an attempt to have everyones input.

I would love to have this idea happen, and yes it has been tried before and for the majority of the east was play Rules 2000 at one time in the past. That rule set is still being played today in various altered forms.

I really like being able to play different styles of play. FOB, Shootout, ATT-2000, philly etc.. and the CBSMF and they all have been fun and present coaching situations that makes the game fun and Challenging for me, if not others in the leagues. They would have chime in with their thoughts.

But like Brian - having one team to use wherever would be cool, but you can doe that now.
