Mafia Wars UCS
Mafia Wars UCS, predecessor of Mafia Wars USA, is the national association of Mafia Wars chapters throughout the Christian States. Contrary to how its name sounds, the Mafia Wars are games played by high school and college students. The current president of the association is Matthew D. Willis, the son of Jacob Willis, who was once a Mafia Sheriff himself.
Breakdown of the Games
Though each chapter may add its own rules, the national association has a general rulebook for the chapters to follow. Any from 11th grade through their senior year of college is eligible to play. 10th graders may as well, provided they have a license. There shall be a fee of $5-10 per person. These people may gather into teams of at least seven people. the coast to register a team is double the individual fee, but the person that pays the fee is exempted from the individual fee. The team with the most people still in the game at the end, or last team with people period, wins. The winning team gets half the money from the registration fees. The games must be over a defined area divided into 4-8 precincts. The people eligible to play must be able to vote for their at-large sheriff and by precinct for their constable. The sheriff may hire usually unpaid deputies. They may up the Sheriff's/Mafia Police Department for that area. Generally, they are not real law enforcement. However, the Hardin-Jefferson Sheriff's Department were all deputized Texas Highway Patrol or Texas Rangers. The sheriff and constables also for the Constables' Court or the Mafia Board with the Sheriff serving as president of the board. They vote on new rules and run the local day-to-day operations such as creating their local Mafia Handbook. Different areas may change the name of the positions in their sheriff's or mafia police departments, but not their authority.
