For your viewing pleasure, the 2015 Montana 6-man all-star game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIdeSMu1dzQ
The purists may not like it, but whatever. It's still blocking & tackling, running and passing, speed vs. size, etc.

According to MHSA they have 44 teams in 8-player football and 33 teams in 6-player football.
Found this very ironic that these are their criteria for a school moving down (this is from 8-player to 6-player) but they appear to be the same at every level.
A. Current enrollment and estimated enrollment
projections cannot exceed 70 to petition.
B. Roster size for the past several years must be near or
under the average for Six-Player football.
C. Success factor in their current placement

Maybe I saw some outdated info. I googled Montana 6man football and the site I found had 4 regions with 8+ in a region. Then I found an article talking about 8man having a neutral site for the championship game and they had 13 teams in one region and only 8 in the other.
I really hope this takes hold in ND and the NDHSAA adopts it. Even if the class only has 12-16 teams I think it would be beneficial. Down the road I could see ND with a Class A division, then 11man B dvision, 9man division, and 6man instead of the current alignment.

I agree and I also like the fact that once you're in a class you stay there unless you petition down and they look at all 3 factors.
