Good advice on base strategy

Base Running:  If you have bases that run with an arc on defense, it’s going to be a long day! You bases on your LB’s and Db’s must run straight! You should have skill players that do different things! Fast and medium running skill players! Why? You can which your schemes on offensive and defensive with your skill player you know how the run! This is in game adjustment!   Smitty Go Ravens

If you are not familiar with the MPFL it is basically a multi-stop from of game play that allows for stoppages giving the offense and defense an equal opportunity to read and react a play as it progresses. 

I found this link to an old forum thread that I was very much surprised to find was still accessible. Some very interesting reading here. MPFL Rules - Miniature Electric Football Forums (miniaturefootball.org)

Whew!  That’s a lot of stoppages.  I really didn’t understand the reason for that many, but I only scanned over it.

Agreed!

I understand giving the defense a chance to adjust to the ball carrier, but four chances seems like over compensation.
