Competition

 

MCFFU believes an important aspect of the development of competitive flag football is offering the right competitions for the right groups. Teams need the opportunity to test themselves against other quality teams at or just above their own competitive level in order to help them develop both their technical and tactical sophistication. We strive to provide our members with competitions that aid team development and growth.

Our signature competition, The Flag Football World Championship Series, is contested by multiple styles of play, with a four-division format (Pro, Competitive, Recreational and Parks and Rec) attempts to ensure all National matches are tightly contested and brings out the best in every team.

State Tournaments are also among MCFFU’s offerings. Hosted by member organizations and leagues, the MCFFU State Tournament series seeks to provide an alternative to the current "State Tourney’s" in appropriate states and regions. Highlights of the MCFFU’s State Tournaments include complete compensation for local league owners and operators, different levels of competition, prize flexibility, and a schedule and format that are designed in consultation with the Union.

January 2006 will mark the inaugural League Championships – Western and Eastern Divisions. The Western Championships will be held in Las Vegas, NV while the Eastern Championships will be held in VA Beach, VA. The World Championships will bring together the best of the United States top teams from the West, East and Central to compete in Dallas, TX beginning March 2006!

Feeding into the World Championships will be a series of State Qualifiers, State Championships and(NIT) National Invitationals. Here the winners will qualify and earn top seeding for the Wrold Championships.

The MCFFU, member of The Metro Competitor, is also in the process of developing an event for competitive teams across the country - the Ultimate Tournament, the Original Tri-Athlete Games. Here teams of only 12 players will compete in screen flag football (7-Man), basketball (5-on-5) and softball in one weekend, playing 3 games of each sport on 3 separate days for a cash prize and a chance to play in the Nationals! Details are on www.metrocompetitor.com.

In addition to our own competitions, we offer our members a Tournament Sanctioning Program. This tournament sanctioning program allows both MCFFU sanctioned teams and leagues registered with Union to participate in hosting their own tournaments. The program allows Union members to host their own local tournaments by hosting either a State or Qualifier. For details contact us at mcffu@mcffu.com.
