2011 MF EVENTS

[mantaraydre]

COACHES,

The tourney season will be over in a few weeks. What are your plans for 2011. What mf event do you have on tap for 2011. I know it is early but i thought i would just ask. We need a magical city to hit. Where that is, i dont know. someplace right in the middle of america that has enough to do . ANY IDEAS.

iF YOU NAME A CITY, WHAT ARE 3 THINGS THAT MAY INTEREST THE AVERAGE TRAVELER OUTSIDE OF ELECTRIC FOOTBALL.

OFF THE TRACKS A BIT, it may be time to explore the carolinas. I think we can get a good turn out.

what about the disneyland area in flo.

WHAT AREA WOULD PRODUCE THE BETTER TURNOUT /

1)NORTH

2)SOUTH)

3)EAST)

4)WEST.

****ON AVERAGE, WHAT REGION HAS THE MOST ELECTRIC FOOTBALL COACHES. Remember, there are many who are not MFCA members and who do not post ever. BUT THEY PLAY SOMEWHERE.

Dre: I’m going to hijack your thread for the purpose of promoting the hobby. What I’d like to see at a minimum is a MFCA tournament held in each MFCA region using local rules, or MFCA developed rules, I don’t care. Each tournament would be for MFCA members in good standing only, expired memberships won’t work for tournament entry. The winners from each MFCA region would then face off in a Tournament of Champions using MFCA rules at the MFCA convention in August. 7 regions 7 champions, the eighth spot could go to the previous year’s champion, or runner-up. The beauty of this system is any member can play in any region, so if you failed to win your local MFCA tourney you could travel to another region and play in theirs using their local MFCA approved rule-set. The tournaments are limited to MFCA members and this system of tournaments promotes travel to distant regions or neighboring regions depending on location. Standard tournament fees will need to be established or factored into membership fees. Your thoughts and opinions are welcomed, thanks. Ray F/Manhattan Ray

This..........sounds...........brilliant!

Great Start. Now we need some chiming in from the membership with respect to locations.

Thanks Ray!

Ray, That would absolutely be exciting! I would be 100% behind that but it would take people coming together like they never did before. It could happen! Honestly the whole idea of 7 regions and skills contests was put in place so that it could eventually lead to exactly what you described.

Again I sent virtually the same proposal to the BOD last year. See attached.

coaches,

many coaches like to stay with a paticular style that is not shootout related. They have been familiar with that style of play for years. Just as the shootout coaches like to stay with there style of play. if we could develop an additional style for the mfca that would be regional/national. Why not create a huge college league with each region having its own name under the mfca banner. Plenty of coaches would love to play a college tourney but by the way they are used to playing. That is the similar style around the country many leagues employ. texas region play the shootout style. dc region play the mfca style. etc etc. That is the only way to increase numbers and interest. I think it would be good for the hobby.

texas and la region call themselves the CBSMF.
Great lakes region, probably 2 styles with names pending.
new york region -cbsmf east or ny
south region- dixie athletics or whatever

all grab a college team and they all will be placed on the same website under 1 banner.

It can all work if folks just sat down and looked at the hobby as a bigger picture. A billboard and not a snap shot.

ITS QUITE EVIDENT WE WILL NEVER AGREE TOTALLY ON RULES REGIONALLY.
So let the mfca create a rule to satisfy that 50% of coaches who are receptive to something new but familiar. Also, create pockets where your free to use your rules under 1 banner. GIVE THE PEOPLE OPTIONS.

1 BIG COLLEGE LEAGUE WOULD BE CRAZY. OR PRO IF YOU WANT.

HOW ABOUT

1)PRO

2)COLLEGE

3)PERSONAL TEAMS.

STATS GO ON 1 WEBSITE UNDER 1 BANNER.


***we need to fix this because we should not have to pick and choose tourneys. It all can be done in 1 setting with everyone happy. I made a decision to only travel once next year outside of going to play in the pro set and mpfl. I would like to see everyone together. I cant control other peoples thoughts on this matter so i must travel for myself. Hope to see every face, IN ONE PLACE, in one state, ON 1 DATE. THAT WOULD BE GREAT !!!MANTARAYDRE

One more note: Anything with the MFCA name on it could not be "officially" NFL or NCAA College related. It would need to be open to any type of team. Going back to your MFCA registered teams thread would be optimum for anything with a MFCA flag flying over it. All though, I wouldn't exclude teams based around an NFL or NCAA team, we just wouldn't be able to list them, as in my case, as the Kansas City Chiefs, but rather as Weirdwolf's Chiefs or the Parkville Chiefs.

wolf,

If coaches feel the really need to keep their nfl ncaa teams, this may please coaches around the country. Just take your MFCA NICKNAME and put your fave team behind it. BUT CAN ANY PICTURES BE SHOWN. This is why i said for all to make their own teams. SO WE CAN BE FREE TO DISPLAY ON A WEBSITE WITHOUT LOOKING OVER OUR SHOULDERS.

But it can work if we let it. Must concentrate on members who are willing to come aboard.
