Hiya.
Had a great time in Exeter - thanks to the organisers and everyone who
came to play during 2 days of awful weather... Anyway....
On the lines of Experimentation
1) I understand the idea of handicapping, and think that perhaps some
people are missing the point of Chris' original mail, that this was to
"twist" the rules so that effectively more fun could be had by lesser
teams, and so that top teams got to play more lesser teams. - It is
amazing how much we play the same teams at tour event after tour
event. (Or maybe I am missing the point)
2) Changing the rules.... I have reservations about this. Seeing
how Ultimate is changing in the states, and looking at its history a
little, it seems that the rule changes are a prelude to more physical,
less spirited play.
Ummmm - sort of rambling there, but then that's me....
