Default let those who are interested move forward.....

.......to work on a set of MFCA rules. I believe if we work together as a group, we can make this happen.

Let's break the rules down by category:

1) Special teams
kick offs, field goals, punts

2) Formations
shifts, angles, motions, stacking, line gaps

3) Rushing
tackling (front of base, any touch) options, pitches, QB run

4) Passing
passing sticks, targets, traditional (and or combinations), run after catch, INTs, time to pass,
coverage sacks

5) Game Play
timed, # of plays, # of possessions, time outs, overtime

6) Equipment and bases
type of figures, types of bases, boiled, playing weight, Qbs, footballs, etc.

7)Penalties
additions to standard (offisides, too many men, etc.) none, dice, penalty cards

We have seven (7) regions of the MFCA, each region will have a (1) category to work on and one volunteer to act as rep. for that region, take e-mails or calls and manage the conversation regarding the category. I would suggest the region and the category be selected randomly or the MFCA Member with the most posts select the region and the category.

The regional rep. and their region will work on their rules and take suggestions from Leagues and coaches. They may adopt a rules from a League in their region, or from another League or start from scratch.

Unless an objection is raised by 2 or more coaches in that region, on or before 1-1-09 they submit that rule category to the body. One all the categories are considered together for consistency, we have a "working" version of the MFCA rules and a printed copy of the rules be prepared.

We give them a try at the Miggle Convention in late January and Officially ratify them in February as the official MFCA rules and added to the list of rules used in our coaches challenge at the MFCA Convention.
