Electric Football was one of the most anticipated gifts by young boys on Christmas mornings throughout the 60’s and 70’s. The game eventually gave way, after selling 60 million games since its invention by Norman Sas in 1948, to the video game market. However, hundreds of these boys kept the game alive into adulthood and eventually brought it back to the new level of realism and competition that it enjoys today!
The MFCA CON.5, held in Cleveland, Ohio at the Embassy Suites Rockkside, Aug 3-5, 2012, is the final leg in a series of three electric football tournaments with coaches coming from across the USA, competing for the championship ring and trophy and title of “2012 MFCA National Champion”. Charles Lane, from Tennessee, won round 1 with Texan, Don Hudson taking round 2. National 2012 MFCAL Champion, Greg Hardmon, from Toledo, Ohio, will be looking to keep the trophy in Ohio as he, Don and Charles and around 70 other coaches compete for the championship.
Electric Football is very competitive! The “coaches” , however, stress sportsmanship, fellowship and share strategies, painting, customizing tips and occasionally a secret “tweaking” tip. Tweaking is the term used for how to adjust the prongs on the bases of the men to get them to perform with speed, strength and specific direction.
The tournament begins Friday evening, August 3, 2012, at 6 pm. Pool play begins on Saturday at 9:00 am and goes throughout the day late into the evening. The final rounds and championship are played on Sunday morning.
Admission is free to the public and parents, children, football enthusiasts, gamers, and hobbyists are encouraged to attend this exciting and interactive event.
