I can address the pub crawl issue.

Until last year, the NEFL Games sponsored a double-decker bus to come to Jacksonville and visit a number of local pubs during the week leading up to the games. This was intended primarily as a way of publicizing the games, as the funds raised by the pub crawls were minimal.

Regrettably, in the past couple of years, a few pub crawlers chose to involve themselves with activities that were not as "family friendly" as could be wished. When the Board of Directors of the games were informed of these activities, they were quite concerned that the pub crawl was becoming a liability.

So...to prevent drunken louts from bringing unwanted, adverse attention, the Board discontinued the sanctioned pub crawl.
