MFL 1995

The MFL 1995 was the fifth season the league of Forceball of the USA and Canada

Format changes
The Major Forceball League decided to abolish the Shift System as divide its teams into 2 conferences: American and National. Since 13 is an odd number, the league decided to expand to 16 clubs.

Criticism
Most of MFL fans well-received this change because it made the league more competitive, but team owners didn't did the same.

The owners of the franchises of Atlanta, Dallas, DC, Charlotte, Albuquerque, Pittsburgh and Las Vegas openly criticised this new format, with their main points being that it made the championship "less autentic and independent". The owners of Atlanta, Dallas and Las Vegas leaved the team while those who owned Albuquerque and Pittsburgh even managed to leave the MFL and creating an independent league.

Many fans of those teams were dissapointed at their owners. Some Atlanta Powerfuls even started rioting in front of Georgia Dome because there was a doubt if the team would stay on the league, meanwhile, a considerable number of Cactus and Strongs stopped liking their teams after they leaved the Major Forceball League.

A majority of Forceball specialists claim that "The change of MFL's format contributed for its future development".

New teams
At first, the MFL choosen San Antonio, Chicago and Cleveland to have expansion teams in the league, but it ended up giving two more spots on the Major Forceball League because Cactus and Strongs leaved. San Fransisco and Houston were the lucky cities.
