  1. Awesome Greg!! Yes, I think it is the colors of the teams and figures and the graphics of the game boards and boxes that are what interest me most. That is why I keep looking to Art Galleries and Museums and Libraries to put displays in. Even as we speak, I am working on another "Art of the Buzz" exhibit for next year in the Nashville, TN area. January / February 2025.

  2. Yes, it is the largest and most successful league in this area. I have participated in it when it was much smaller, called the Oxford (AL) EFL and primarily used Tudor and Buzzball equipment. Where I met and got to know, most of my closest friends in the ELECTRIC FOOTBALL Community. Run by great EF Legends and Ambassadors David Nichols and Charles Lane. Creators and Host of the Bama Blast and now River City Blasts EF and TOC tournaments. Most of the members of our Music City EFL also participate in these league and tournament events. Certainly, the best thing going around here in the way of Electric Football activity. 

  3. Here is a recent post from Facebook.

    i have had my best luck with “Golfing Cowboy” on EBay.  Sometimes he has delayed shipment for me until I have bought several teams, and he ships them all together.  

    Awesome!! I have bought several things from him also.

  5. Unfortunately, what you are looking for would be virtually impossible to find without a lot of searching and buying in small quantities to finally reach your goal of all 32 teams of one type of figure.  It has been some years since that was even possible directly from Tudor, mainly due to Covid and all the problems that caused with manufacturing and shipping from the factories in China. I do think it is the goal of Tudor to get back to that level of availability eventually, but I also think that is a long way off. 

    The best option is to find one of the custom painters that would agree to do that, and even then, it would still be a very prolonged and very expensive process.  I know not much help but that is about all I can offer.

  6. I am not absolutely positive, but when Superior Toys / Tudor Games went bankrupt in 1990-1991? It is possible that Playtime bought the base molds that were Tudor's. On the box cover of the 1991 Playtime ABC Monday Night Football, all the parts - Players, teams, Bases game parts are all Tudor. 

    Structurally? Comparable to the Tudor TTC dial bases of the late 1980's.

  7. Monday afternoon got a phone call from Bryan Nutt regarding setting up a tournament event in the Nashville, TN area (my hometown area) in the very near future (March /April). I spent most of the day yesterday and have more to look at today scouting out venues and locations and getting quotes and proposals. 

    Here is what Tudor Games / Bryan posted on Facebook yesterday. 

    Tudor Games

    January 23,2024

    "Attention all coaches!!!  We are planning our first Tudor Tournament for 2024!  It will be in the Nashville, TN area in the month of March/April.  I want to make sure that we don't conflict with other Electric Football events/tournaments.    Please let me know of any dates within the March/April time frame that we should avoid!  This is going to be awesome!!!!" 

    Any thoughts, concerns, comments suggestions??

    Thanks.

    Putty is the one thing I never tried. I could tell it wasn't nearly heavy enough. 🏋️‍♂️

    We typically mix Tungsten putty with the poster putty now. Tungsten putty is a Pinewood Derby car product to add weight.

  10. All very good suggestions!! First thing I do is to put him on a Round Front Base. Rookie or TTC Dial, doesn't matter. Can be tweaked to run straight or curve to the right or left or set the dial to give him a specific direction. It really boils down to the rules you are using for setting formations and the restrictions you are placing on player set up and pre snap player adjustment. You are playing solitaire. Get creative and don't limit yourself to too much. These are the ideal bases for TE's in my opinion.

  11. For those of you who may live in or near the Atlanta, GA area or would be interested in traveling to this area the weekend of February the 17th and 18th. The Deep South MFL is going to be having their league Playoffs and Championship Weekend in Cartersville, GA. Cartersville is approximately 30 miles north of Atlanta off of I-75. I plan on going provided the weather is good and I am not in the middle of having eye surgery for cataracts (sucks getting old). It is about a 3-hour drive for me, but this is the group I enjoy going to see play the most, since I have a lot of good ELECTRIC FOOTBALL Community friends in this group, and I used to live in the area of Atlanta and Carterville over 30 years ago. This is also the group that I used to play competitively with a lot in league and tournament competitions and where most of my experience comes from in playing competitively.

    I am going to be posting all the particulars for this event in the League and Tournament section of the forum later today. Hope to see somebody there from this forum, Daryl Collins, (hint, hint??) LOL!! Have a great day.

    If I remember right, the NFC was the home team in last year’s Super Bowl. That means the AFC should be in home dark jerseys this year.

    Yes, you are correct, the Philadelphia Eagles as the NFC representative, were the designated home team and wore their "Home" dark jersey uniforms. However just as recent as three Super Bowl's ago, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the home team and wore their white jersey uniforms. There have been several instances where the home team has worn "white" as the home team in the history of the Super Bowl. Check out the Gridiron Uniform Database's Super Bowl History Page.

    Since it is my hope that the Detroit Lions and the Baltimore Ravens are the NFC and AFC representatives, and the Ravens should be the designated "Home" team. Here is what each team should be wearing in this year's Super Bowl.

    Interestingly they did meet in week 7 of the regular season this year in Baltimore and this is the uniforms they work in that game. 

    image.png.fa3fc53fbf6ec1d1ccc182f8bf36d139.png

    More than likely, it will be either the 49ers and Ravens or the 49ers and Chiefs. That Chiefs vs. Ravens AFC Championship Game is going to be the game to watch. and probably the more exciting of the two, but I have a very close friend who is from Michigan and a lifelong Lions fan. So, for his sake I have to hope that the Lions are going to make it to their first Super Bowl ever.

  13. Hi and Welcome to the Forum. Great to see an American Football fan on here from another country other than the US and Canada. I know of some of the videos you are referring to that aren't very flattering concerning this game and hobby, but then every game and hobby has some of those who have had a bad experience with their particular interest and feel the need to let the world know about it on YouTube.  I know it is difficult to get electric football games and products to other countries and very expensive. That is why even Tudor Games is reluctant to ship them to Europe or overseas.  Most people on here are more than willing to help as much as possible and will do all that they can to help you get started. You can find out a lot about the game, it's history and how to play it on my website, The National Electric Facebook Game Museum.  Of course, Tudor Games has everything to get you started and I would suggest contacting them directly to see what they can do for you and answer any questions you might have. The new owner Bryan Nutt is very knowledgeable about all things electric football and can certainly answer all questions and any concerns regarding any of their products and services. There are also several very good Electric Football related Groups on Facebook. Here is one that I administrate, The Electric Football Community. 

    Again, welcome and let us know how we may best help you.

  14. Hey Greg F. Great to see you on here again. I was just thinking about you the other day and hoping and praying that you were doing OK health wise. Glad that you are getting to take Charlie to these games. Savor and enjoy as much of this time with her as you possibly can. It all goes by way to quick. My Granddaughter recently got married in December and she will be celebrating 23 years on this earth next week. I still remember very fondly sitting in the floor and playing games with her and coloring with her when she was just 3 and 4 years old. Today she is a very beautiful former model and now a successful tatoo and graphic artist. Got to love 'em.  OK a bit off subject of Playing Solitaire but seeing that pic of you and Charlie brought back some great memories and how proud I am of here now. Here are some pics to bore y'all even more.
