Haiti era made some really nice looking teams 👍

They really did! Such nice quality and paint and the people of Haiti probably painted this stuff for pennies but they had jobs. It would be beautiful if tutor could bring back some of the past especially in terms of game boards.

Haiti Bowl 2024 is in the books.

A defensive struggle between the Jets and Cardinals. The Cardinals were first to get on the board with a FG and that was the halftime score. The Jets defense shutout the Cardinals in the second half and the offense had a two play 86 yd TD drive capped off by a 57yd TD run to secure the win. 7-3. 

 

 

Klecko looks nice and wide on the Jets front line

TripleOption67 let me take a moment and praise your choice of electric football fields. Absolute beauty. It has those rolled-steel double-sided walls that are really solid. Paint looks great.

You may have posted this previously and I missed the post; do all your teams ride on the double clips bases?

In the fourth picture is your QB #11 blocking for your tailback #28? In electric football I believe QBs should be blocking. With or without the QB blocking the Jets have great offensive line surge. I can understand why the Jets are the top seed.

What does the road to the Haiti Bowl look like? Eight teams? Sixteen teams? Which teams?

Is it the Haiti Bowl because all of your plastic peeps are Haiti players?

I hope that's not too many questions. I'm just trying to get a feel for your endeavor. Thank you.

Enjoy the Journey.    T43.    ⚡🏈♾️

You are right t43 that looks like a well-kept field. I love these write-ups

Kicking off my annual Haiti Bowl playoffs.

 

First up was the AFC top seed Jets vs the Wild Card Dolphins. Back and forth game. Dolphins struck first and never trailed, until the last play. On fourth and 4 from the Dolphins 16 yd line, the Jets gambled and went for it. QB broke off a 16 yd TD run to win. 

Beautiful work preserving your teams they're in pristine condition

The main thing I love about solitaire play, is every coach seems to have their own individual style. Just as I respect Coach T43 and his totally immersive style, I absolutely love your decision to go with double clip bases on random draw. Excellent posts, one and all!

Journey On!

Well said coach. Respect to all solitary leads because every coach has their own rules and style indeed. Whatever works for you

Game 2 in the books. The NFC #1 Seed Eagles vs the Wild Card Cardinals. Eagles struck first and held the lead at half time. The Cardinals come out of halftime and rip off a 78 yd TD to tie the game. However the Eagles answer with a 68 yd TD run to go back in front. The Cardinals them cap off a 75 yd drive with a 33 yd TD run to force overtime. The Cardinals got the ball first and get a 61 yd run and get a FG to upset the Eagles.

Love the pictures and the teams

After decades of playing I'm still of the philosophy that the best way to tweak is to play the bases. The friction of the plastic against the steel does a remarkable job of revealing the true nature of the base and attached player. I would guess that TripleOption67's bases are tweaked to perfection by now. 😃👍

I do make sure the prongs are pointing backwards and the prongs usually need a bit of heat to harden the tips, but that's it.

I love to watch the players execute a play as I designed the play, and I also love those unexpected tackles and unexpected turns up field for touchdowns. 😍

The player bases seem to take on a personality of their own players seem to have my own sometimes I'm sure you guys agree. Sometimes  we ask ourselves how the heck did that guy do that. So many times we try to predict what the player is going to do and they do just the opposite. That's what makes this hobby so amazing. Love reading and learning from all of you. Levi

Just starting to catch up to all these posts and categories and realize how much we are missing out on.

Exactly. The player / base combination has a personality, not like people have personality, but characteristics that make the game more enjoyable.

Exactly, the phenomenon that seemingly cannot be explained and it makes the game amazing!
