Hi Coach Collins. You've said painting isn't your forte so I'm not sure this is an option for you...

... White shoes and white C, or black shoes and orange C. Or both for $49.75.

And if you really want to be retro...

Ebay is your oyster. 😃👍

You'd have to buy the waterslide Bears' numbers from Tudor or Beenutt.

Could be a very cool,

Really old school,

Bears team to retool. 🐻

Do you mean 49 yellow on 32 white?

Good observation. On the previous play I forgot to take the ball out from under #32's arm.

I was referring to Baja Blast #22's hit on Diamond Dawg #2.

The Consolidation of two teams — the Baja Blast and the Diamond Dawgs — into one team (the Baja Blast) is complete.

The following Diamond Dawg players were offered contracts to start for the Baja Blast in the next game.

Diamond Dawg's Quarterback #2 ➡️ Baja Blast's Quarterback #2

Diamond Dawg's Center / Middle Linebacker #50 ➡️ Baja Blast's Center / Middle Linebacker #54

Diamond Dawg's Right Tackle #70 ➡️ Baja Blast's Wide Receiver #7

Diamond Dawg's Tailback #32 ➡️ Baja Blast's Tailback #32

Diamond Dawg's Guard / Defensive Tackle #61 ➡️ Baja Blast's Guard / Defensive Tackle #61

Diamond Dawg's Strong Side Corner #38 ➡️ Baja Blast's Wide Receiver #6

Diamond Dawg's Tight End #89 ➡️ Baja Blast's Tight End #89

Diamond Dawg's Free Safety #21 ➡️ Baja Blast's Tight End #84

The Baja Blast retained 17 of their original 23 players. The addition of the Diamond Dawg players brings the total number of players on the Baja Blast team up to 25 players. I need to move one receiver from the Baja Blast to the Practice Squad. I need more time to figure that out. 🤔

Internally, Baja Blast's Center /Middle Linebacker #54 was moved to Right Tackle #76.

Stop forward motion tackling to keep the game moving. Dice for passing and kicking. Pre-tweaked Rookie bases to start off with.

I agree completely. Especially the pre-tweaked bases.

whereas one-touch tackling is usually very clear a vast majority of plays.

My memories are just the opposite. I remember, "He touched the back." "No he didn't." "Yes he did." "No he didn't." etc. for the next hour. The same goes for the plastic catapult. "The ball hit his base." "No it didn't." Yes it did." "No it didn't." for the next hour. Remember your friend who got so mad he flipped over the field?

a simple set of rules for teaching kids from 8 years old and up how to play electric football.

That said, if we want to funnel these 8 year-olds into the existing hobby then follow SOP. I was playing Monopoly, Battleship, and Clue when I was 8. I don't think Milton-Bradley created a special version for 8-year-olds did they?

Folding in aspects of Roll Play Games is another way to get an 8 year-old's interest. A card for every player, play, and situation. I think letting the 8-year-olds paint their favorite players is a way to get their interest.

While Baja Blast #43 is a Juggernaut — Halfback #31 is calm and strong. In the second Touchdown run #43 gets to the End Zone 15 yards ahead of #31 but #31 pushes the whole pile in the direction he wants to go. Defenders whacking the back of his base, or hitting #31 broadside, simply won't stop #31. The Defense has to gang tackle this locomotive.

I love watching these players mature. From Game 1 to Game 3 some little plastic peeps dramatically change curve, or strength, or speed. Usually that dramatic change is followed by a journey to the circular file. 🗑️

Some plastic peeps just keep getting better in every category, curve, strength, and speed. I'm gradually finding the best. 🏆 But which two teams are the very best?

There are two games I call 'Limbo' in the Draft Tournament. I chose the word Limbo because the teams have one-win and one-loss. Are they Winners or are they Losers? The teams are in Limbo because their identity is uncertain. The first Limbo game featured the Baja Blast and the Diamond Dawgs. The Baja Blast won the game and punched their ticket into the Final Four. The Welsh Dragons and the Angels of Avalon are already in the Final Four.

The Best Players of the Diamond Dawgs will be absorbed into the Baja Blast team.

The second Limbo game features the Meteor Storm and the two-headed rushing attack of the Pink Panthers.

The Baja Blast have a potent rushing attack also. BB Fullback #43 is a genuine juggernaut. Here are a couple examples I slowed down to 20%.

I don't know. I haven't tried them. I have smooth pliers from Ace Hardware — that aren't curved — and those pliers were about the same price. So I think the price is reasonable.

Try them and let me know your experience. 😃👍

I'm curious if you discover the curve makes a prolonged difference in speed, or strength (do the prongs stay tweaked after they've been heated and squeezed with curved pliers)..

The Consolidation of two teams — the Pink Panthers and the Metallians — into one team (the Pink Panthers) is complete.

The following Metallian players were offered contracts to start for the Pink Panthers in the next game.

Metallian's #15 Halfback / Kick returner ➡️ Pink Panther Halfback / Kick Returner

Metallian's #69 Guard / Nose Tackle ➡️ Pink Panther Right Tackle

Metallian's #54 Right Outside Linebacker (edge rusher) ➡️ Pink Panther's Right Outside Linebacker

Metallian's #9 Wide Receiver ➡️ Pink Panther's Wide Receiver

Metallian's #42 Free Safety ➡️ Pink Panther's Free Safety

Metallian's #26 Tailback ➡️ Pink Panther's Tailback

Metallian's #52 Center / Middle Linebacker ➡️ Pink Panther's Center / Middle Linebacker

Metallian's #87 Tight End ➡️ Pink Panther's Tight End

Metallian's #99 Tight End ➡️ Pink Panther's Tight End

The Pink Panthers retained 14 of their original 23 players.

Internally, Pink Panther #81 was moved from Tight End to Wide Receiver.

All the Metallian players were repainted into Pink Panther uniforms.

Those players with green platforms were formerly Metallians. Before the next game the platforms will be painted flat black to match the rest of the team.

Correction: In the first video, the Power I example, I label the Pulling Tackle as a Pulling Guard. Then in the Upback Formation I made the same mistake again. The Pulling Tackle is labeled as a Pulling Guard. Very sorry for those mistakes.

Clarification: I label the Gaps with letters starting at the Quarterback's far right. So the Gaps are Wide Right R, then A, B, C, (center) D, E, F, and then Wide Left. L.

Now, if you think Pink Panthers #49 is scary, just imagine two 300+ running backs in the Pink Panther backfield. Because the Metallians lost — all of the Metallians best players will join the Pink Panthers team. At the top of the Best Metallians Players list is HB #15. This little plastic peep rushed for 324 yards on 9 carries, 151 yards receiving, and 5 touchdowns.

I can hardly wait for this Two-headed Panther to play the blistering Meteor. That game will be in two weeks. Whew!

Wow! I'm exhausted. What an offensive shootout. The Pink Panthers won the game and will absorb the best players of the Metallians.

Up next The Baja Blast will attempt to curtail that offense of the Diamond Dawgs. Should be another shootout.

Pink Panthers Half Back #49 ran effectively from every formation: Power Sweep, Power I, Single Back, Upback, and Pro Set. He finished the game with 375 yards on 22 carries. The little plastic peep scored 4 touchdowns.

Thank you Coach Daryl.

Every word you wrote resonated with me. 😃👍 Thank you for writing my thoughts so eloquently.

The big event at Tudorcon seems to be the opportunity to compete against other coaches — which is a non-starter for me a solitaire player. From what I've read on the Forum many coaches have come up with truly inspired ways to keep their solitaire games competitive. Letting the dice decide the play, or the formation, for example.

The one thing that Tudor has that keeps me coming back is the Forum. Yet, the Forum seems to be the last thing on Tudor's mind. There's an expression, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Like Daryl said... crickets. I could be wrong but I don't think I've ever seen a post from Bryan's Solitaire Tournament on the Forum.

Coach Jayethekxng, where did you find the light-blue double clip bases?

I have Tudor royal blue bases, and ITZ light blue bases, but I've never seen light-blue double clips. Are they Tudor bases?

Me too! Lions 2024 redesigned uniforms released - including new-look blue helmet

"But the best was saved for last - a show-stopping blue helmet with a black Lion logo on the side and stripes down the middle."

"The team’s alternate helmet, which was introduced leading into the 2023 season, now features a black leaping Lion trimmed in silver on the matte blue shell," the team release said. "The leaping Lion is complimented by a black and silver stripe the runs the length of the helmet, as well as a black facemask."

With black jerseys!

Wow 25% that's a good number to draft right there if it's a good batch.

I understand what you mean by, a good batch. The Law of Diminishing Returns sets in quickly.

The way I get around the Law of Diminishing Returns is to increase the total number of opportunities.

Consider the Bell Curve. If the batch is 12 bases then 2 (25%) will be horrible 👎, 2 (25%) will be extraordinary 👍, and 8 (50%) will average 🥱. That means only 2 bases out of 12 might make the team. After a couple drafts the extraordinary bases drop to 1 per dozen bases. That's just my experience over the past decade with ITZ, Buzzball, and Tudor bases.

If you increase the total number of bases in the batch to 184 (8 teams with 23 players on a team) then the Bell Curve looks much better.

46 is exactly 25% of 184. So 46 bases will be absolute crap. 👎 46 bases will be exceptional. 👍 And 92 bases are average. 🥱(yawn)

The final two teams (23 players on each team) in my draft tournament should be the best 46 bases. I know this because each team has played at least three games and I have the statistics to document success and failure.

Don't ask me about why back-to-back championships are so difficult because then I'll have to talk about physics and plastic failure rates. 😃
