Egos.

It's killing us in some respects.

So many people back then were trying to prove they were the best. To make a long story short no one wanted to compromise because it hindered their chances of being the best. The criticism of the ruleset was relentless and to be honest some things were installed without consultation. No one's fault it's just the networking was not nearly as easy.

Even in league play the same thing happens. You can vote on a rule change and you still have lobbying and argument halfway through the season although the entire body said no.

As far as what the rules are based upon? Yes, the NEFL has nice rules but so does many other leagues. There should be no ruleset used as a reference point because it could be perceived as both showing favortism and being closed minded. This has been the downfall of many a ruleset including rules 2000. That actually started in 1997. See what I mean?

The rules are going to be MFCA. If you see something relative to your style be happy that knowledge. If you see something that you consider foreign to you then be open to it because someone has to learn what you know as well.

For simplicity, just defaulting to NFL rules could pose a problem for inanimate objects. That's the challenge facing us. Making sure everyone has something to work for. Now that's fair.

Just my thoughts
