    After a busy few days, I finally got back to some painting last night.  Finished the jerseys and sock stripes on all players.  No pics, since they don't look any different than the ones I already posted.

    Some Qs on the Bills' striping:

    No way could I paint the red-white-red-blue-red-white-red on either the socks or the shoulders, and I'm not sure I want to use decals.  Would it be better just to paint two white stripes separated by blue, one red-white-red set of stripes, or something else?  Not even thinking about the small black borders!

    I would just go with the 2 white stripes separated by blue. My biggest suggestion to hand painters is keep it simple if it "looks" like a particular team and is generally easliy recognizable as a particular team, then you have done a good job. If you study and look at the way Tudor presented their "Official NFL Uniforms" in the 60's and 70's, you will notice not that much worry about accurate details. Most teams were very recognizable as a particular team just by their basic team colors and uniform designs, and certainly decals were not used or even considered until much later when MIggle first came out with their stamped helmet teams and other people started creating  decals for helmet logos, jersey and pant stripes.

    Hey Anthony

    dont know if you’re checking this forum lately but I’d be interested in a manual or the dvd about your system if you still have any

    thanks!

    Me too,  Anthony mainly for inclusion in the Media Archives of the NEFGM Library.  

    mizzlekbam and RCG11,

    Hopefully he still follows this forum and checks it occassionly, I have been trying to get a full rule set from him form years. Here is a multi-stop ruleset based on the MPFL system I think, that I found in my files.   2019 Multi-Stop Ruleset.pdf

  4. I have begun using a SONY Cybersot digital camera on a tripod to photograph and film my games. I bought the tripod from Walmart which also has an adapter for smartphones. Around $20.00. probably your cheapest option. I also have a 10" Sony tablet that could be setup to use. Yes, if you are not careful you can wind up spending a lot of money. Just depends on how much you want to invest in it.

  5. Really good question. I have run into the situation. Called it an INC pass. Ball thrown beyond the end line of the end zone. Could also have the receiver run parallel to the end line. And hope receiver doesn't step out of bounds. Higher risk of an interception, though. 

  6. Oh well, tough break for the Titans. Love the back story about your mom. Good name, too!! My wife's name is Sylvia, with whom I could not do what I do in the game and hobby with out her love and support. Been married for 20 years and she has accompanied me to many Electric Football Convention and Tournament events.  My biggest source of encouragement and promoter of the game to people I would otherwise never have gotten to meet and introduce to electric football. 862583997_Annotation2020-05-27175615.png.8064b47806b229edd1eb3fd47b50528c.png1861122973_Annotation2020-05-27180404.png.809a2fe50d860de0a1172204939fac7f.png1824241383_Annotation2020-05-27180507.png.90fd524b131d72e7c9453fa9ad5733d3.png

  7. Kit, I really, deep down, am a strong supporter of using the TTQB as it was designed, without modification and developing the skills necessary to perform all passing and kicking functions with it as it is. But I also realize that as a historian of the game, it is necessary to recognize and accredit the many innovations that others have created to improve the quality of the game and how it is played. You and your TOEPRO system are one of those innovations that have truly changed and improved the game and for the better. Keep on doing what you do.

  8. I have used a TTQB kicker to try to richocet the ball off a receiving team player. But like you say, often times miss and goes all the way back to the end of the gameboard or completely off the game board. Then I wind up loosing the ball and spending the next 30 minutes, in the floor trying to find it. 😆 🤣 LOL!! Have gotten too old for that.

  9. Your idea is actually spot on. I have seen it done that way by several others. I use my kicking cards to place the ball. Good, but not perfect. Only 5 possible placements and only to one side of the field. Another idea is the "ball on a string" used by some leagues and tournaments.  It is a ball suspended on a string, stretched across the width of the playing field that can be moved along the string at shoulder level of the figures to anywhere across the field.

  10. Yeah Al, I have seen the figures used by several people in both solitaire and competition teams. I have 3 sets of these figures that are still packaged with the original games. I may have one other set though, I forget. Will have to look. The one gameboard that works is performing suprisingly well. The 2 speeds make for some very interesting  game play.  I like your predictions except already wrong on one. Not saying which one, though. Will have to waif for the final rssults post.

  11. WK 7 Preview of the TnPEFL
    This week's games will be played on the 2007 Excalibur Electronics NFL "Vibrating Football" Model No. NF-07 game board. This is the company that took over the NFL Licensing from Miggle Toys / Tudor Games in 2006. Attractive graphics and packaging, but poor product quality and performance. Featured push button "2 Speed BLITZING" game play action and battery powered portability. Contained an order form to "Order your favorite NFL teams" but, as far as I know, they never produced these teams. Only made it through one Holiday Shopping Season. I bought two of these games from JC Penney's at a 50% off $49.99 Sale Price - reduced from $100 - Pre-Christmas Clearance Sale and one of those has never worked. This one at least works and runs decently. Going to play some "quick game timing" format, short games on it. 4 plays from the 50, per team, per quarter. Most Points or Most Yardage Gained per possession. Most yardage gained will give that team 2 points for that possession. Another possible tournament format experiment, similar to that first used by Miggle Toys, at their early Electric Football Convention and Super Bowl of Electric Football Tournaments.
