How about making the better teams, or better players in a team, wear diving flippers instead of cleats, it would go something like this:

Druids have a flipper ranking of 3, whilst UTI are 6.5, this means that if Druids meat UTI, 3 UTI players have to wear flippers whilst Guy may wear just one flipper (opposite team could choose which foot he wears it on, but Guy Bowles may have the option to change it to the other foot at half time).

We could also look into increasing the size of the flippers, Roger Thomson could possibly wear a pair of professional diving flippers, or 'FINS' as they are commonly known in the trade!, (Mares are a highly recommended brand), with a very flexible carbon fibre 'pladdle' area, thus impeding his running ability greatly.

Alternatively, we could all forget this handicapping nonsense, go out and practice more, improve our disc skills and give the top team TIGHTER games.

I would hate to see Ultimate become a TWO-A-SIDE beach sport, where we all wear tight fitting swimming costumes and make tons of money through lucrative TV and sponsorship deals.
