In 1984, the NHSA ceased to exist, and the World Footbag Association (WFA) was formed in Golden, Colorado, by Bruce Guettich and Greg Cortopassi. The WFA started as a governing body, but soon evolved into a touring team, magazine publisher, and footbag product retailer (via a mail-order catalog business). WFA formed the International Footbag Advisory Board (IFAB) to oversee the official Rules of Footbag Sports (the printed rule-book for the sport of footbag). WFA also took on the task of running the World Footbag Championships from 1984 through 1993.
