Re: Ultimate Boring to watch...or just a different sort of spectator sport than we are expecting???????

The pace of elite games doesn't need to be changed.

---i can understand a minor speed up of the action of ultimate....90 seconds
between points is great....speeding up foul discussions is favored by
everyone....less bad calls would speed up the action.......
but overall...the pace of the game, besides these points, is fine by me.

I would say that it is VERY similar to football
and even hockey. You can chill and watch the teams line up against
each other, be interested or chat with your buddy while one team works
it up the the field, then get amped when someone comes up with a big
play. Same deal in Hockey & Football.. both have plenty of time when
the puck/football aren't in play and the refs are just getting
everything organized.

---yes.
