Hi Johnnie,

First let me welcome you to the Miniature football community.

The question about boards that was asked by Project Dawg was actually answered.

Jeff and Chuck (who play in different leagues) told everyone which boards are being used in their neck of the woods. Meanwhile CorEy (AKA Prettyboy) let everyone know which boards he personally owns, and did a great job of breaking down the different board makers and what each one brings to the table.

You're probably thinking... Yeah, but that doesn't tell me... which board is the Best?!? That's because the words "best board" are subjective.

Each board manufacturer is going to do their BEST to provide their customers with a QUALITY board.

Jeff gave everybody good advice when he wrote: "If you have the chance the best thing I could recommend is to get a look at the custom boards in person , maybe even play on them for alittle bit and see which one you like the best." Loosely translated... If you can find a league that's close to you or attend one of the many tournaments in the 2008 season; this will give you a chance to see custom boards, and run your team on them. You can choose for yourself which one YOU like the best.

If you're unable to get out there in person, you're probably going to have to make your decision based on what others coaches own, or what the different leagues are using. So far... these types of boards have been mentioned: Watts, Porche, Diamond, Rutledge, and 513.

I too own custom big boards from different manufacturers, and I haven't received a bad one yet. They are all quality and my men run great on them. I can't ask for much more than that.

I hope this helps.

Peace,
