Yeah that`s why every time one of their better teams play in FCFFL or IFFL they get destroyed and go back crying.

If their competition are better than iffl and fcffl, let them sign up for state and see how they do.
Pretty sure they will be one and done.

Hrm...we`ll see. I know they`re putting a few teams into the state tournament this year. Should be interesting to see how they fare.
As for better officials? No way.
As for taking over? Then why did we have more men`s teams this Fall then they did?

Just because you say their better doesn`t necessarily mean they are! Some of our refs are terrible too.
As for the taking over part, I wouldn`t say that but they do own the upper hand on you guys in the co ed leagues

As a whole I believe our officials are better. Are some better than others? Sure, but I think as a whole our group is head and shoulders above other flag organizations in the area.
As for coed, yup they are much more successful w their coed league than we are. We`ll continue to try and grow coed, but growing our men`s league is a higher priority to me.

Refs, simply is not true, all of the refs for IFFL/FCFFL are trained and certified and can officiate VFFA tournament, not the case for the other league. We do not cut cost and lower quality by using players within the league to ref any of our games, they do.
Fields, weeknight and Sunday night same quality fields as them, they have turf we have turf. Sunday morning is tough we have mostly grass with some turf, but we are working on that.
Competition, I agree with Josh see how they do in States, but we already have a lot of team from them that have stayed with the IFFL/FCFFL. Those teams tell us the competition is much better as one of the main reason they remain. On the other hand we have also had some of their teams come over play and they leave after one season because they do not do very well. Of course they say it’s the ref and other excuses but the fact is the competition is stronger than they expected and they generally did not do as well as they expected.
I like the other point “Derp” stated about the message board, we have an open MB you can say what you want as long as it’s clean and not a threat, they don’t.
We do not have anything to hide, we know IFFL/FCFFL is not perfect, but the MB is important, we like ideals, constructive criticism, and opinions it is the only way we can make things better in both IFFL/FCFFL.
Most important IFFL and FCFFL will ALWAYS cost less because for Tom, Josh and myself we do not do this for a living we all have careers so we can run these leagues at a lower rate for same amount of games, better refs, and actual real involvement and interaction with the VFFA (State) and National Tournament.
That’s not just something we put on our web site as a sales pitch, we are active members and work with the State and National tournaments and send a large amount of teams to the VFFA.

I HEAR YA TALKIN BUT THATS ALL IT SEEMS TO BE!!! Just talking; if we continue to have BS open seasons like this past fall, they will be better than us, and that`s the GODS honest truth!!!
I love IFFL for the competition BUT I hate the f`ing politics that go with it too

Do not worry there will not be an Open format again.
We have heard all the complaints and Josh, Tom and myself 100% agree it will not happen again.

This league is run much better. The joker that started this thread has no clue. Josh, Tom and Shay actually care, and listen.
As for the refs, you cant even compare. I have played in both leagues, and the IFFL is absolutely, hands down, much better. You literally can`t compare, so please dont even bother trying.
Good try hyping Fairfax Athletics, but it just doesn`t work here.

At the end of the day, I can give two *****s as to which league CLAIMS to be better! I play in both and I just love football so to say one is better than the other, to me, depends on what our expectations are of that certain league; I play for fun so I like both; honestly he only true upside that they have over IFFL is their co ed leagues, that`s all
