Re: Is allowing a team to score bad spirited ?

Its perfectly acceptable to call a timeout when your team is winning
in a close game when you know the cap is coming. It is also
acceptable to just dump and swing for as long as you can until the cap
goes. These are the consequences in playing a sport where we play to
a point and not to a time, and we do not have stoppage time or
anything.

I've never even considered this, but would imagine that it would be
more of a serious spirit issue than the original poster's question
(and close enough to the discussion to talk about in this thread).

Usually when both teams get the feeling that the cap is coming, hold-
ups are considered bad spirit. I find it's usually the case that both
teams try to speed the game up (ie. between pulls, etc.) at this
point.. the losing team for obvious reasons, the winning team for SOTG/
Sportsmanship. My feeling is usually that hey, we're playing ulti
here, if they can mount a come-back in these last few minutes, good on
em, let's play and find out who's really better.

I've never seen a leading team call a time-out because the cap was
approaching, or intentionally slow the game down with safer offense.
Is that against SOTG? My feeling is yeah, it is a bit.. but then again
I've never even considered it as a strategy... and I agree, timing is
part of the game.

I really don't know what to make of this one.
