But if you continue to disbelieve...take a look here. This is the NFHS site where KB takes credit for the document.

And this is another page on the humphinternet site that should make it clear who's site it is:

If you have followed this issue mych then you know who Steve Humphries is.

Steve Humphries is the "Director of Football Operations" for Piedmont High School.

Maybe he can be in the same role in the new KBFF. (kurt bryan football federation)

I'm sure membership will be free....

I thought you meant Kurt's Best Friend Forever.

A small high school program has a "Director of Football Operations?" Wonder how many other programs at that school have "Director of Operations." Just gets funnier by the tidbit of knowledge gained....

One of the points is, there is already a precedent for teams, areas, sections or states to do something different.

One of the major factors presented to us by more than one group around the country is for many years teams either in the same state (that play under varied rules) and/or two teams playing each other from different states that have varied rules Do play each other.

So Yes, that has been happening for years and years, and to be honest, it is rather interesting to hear what they are saying, etc.

And so again, in just this one different item, teams competing vs. each other even though their league, section or state has differing rules, has been happening for many years.

The precedent has already been established in just this one area, and there are lots of items being presented to us.

Best of Luck,

Kurt,

A-11 is not new, the youth leagues play with it all the time and officials officiate it.

Most states including California divide schools based upon attendance figures so that super size school does not play super small school.

NFHS has rules for 8 and 6 man football for those schools who for whatever reason cannot fill an eleven man squad. Know for many years Texas had such a program and one of the alumni was Dallas Cowboy QB Dandy Don Meredith.

My suggestion to you for what it is worth is play by the rules for 11-man football like them or not. There are some rules us officials do not like but we enforce them as written.

Or, see if you can enroll your school in a youth program where the A-11 lives every day at every game.

Or, rather than cry foul that other schools are bigger than Piedmont and this helps overcome that problem, drop down into an 8-team league.

I know Piedmont is an influential East Bay community and a wonderful place to live but quit trying to make everyone else subscribe to your "innovation."

Best of luck in whatever direction you take your program.

Like I said in the other forum, I agree with Kurt. Go. Go now. Go quickly. Do your own thing and take your compadres with you. Go. We support your new A11 league. Go and get 'r done. Go.

You mean like when NC decided that the A-11 was illegal?
