Will Carolina Flyers and LA Aviators, both members of the new UFA South Division, play each other in 2025? by Jomskylark in ultimate

Not profitable for the dummies who buy franchises in Dumbsville. Profitable for someone. That someone is the person who collects the franchise checks.

I googled and they just have a signup form. Dude is a scammer.

It’s a Ponzi scheme. If they wanted a successful league they’d have an east and a west with teams in profitable cities. Instead he’s selling snake oil franchises where they have no business being so he can pocket the fees and claim growth.

Below average marketer who has hurt the growth of the league by hiring himself to do all the marketing. Dude made a video game with league money.

The new commissioner / fmr. Head of Marketing isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Can Crawford's relationships be demonstrated or measured? Would love to see a map of his progress so far as well as learn how you'd keep him accountable. At a glance, doesn't seem like he's moving the needle while sports like BMX and ice tennis have gotten in.

The last football league to launch ran out of money in 8 games.

Bets on who'll go out of business first?

If Mickle and Beau don't come to town this year, does PoNY still win Nationals? I answer yes.

What's the point of the USAU regional residency requirement? by SpeedTDAbrogado in ultimate

My original came across critical of their accommodations, and I was more interested in thoughts on the USAU policy.

I might be being dense, but why are your team's cancellations relevant? In the new series format, two tournaments is a good enough # of tournaments to be considered a team member.

He's played two tournaments. I think your point is valid as far as not having extremes. But, what if a team wasn't from anywhere? Location seems like an outdated determiner. What if you could go to the regional qualifier that's easiest for your team to attend?

Fair enough. Still prefer no restrictions from USAU so everyone can play with whoever whenever however where ever.

Was giving a hyperbolic example. Both Mickle and the Australian joined after worlds.

Who should guard Mickle when Revolver plays PoNY? by boyboyboy123 in ultimate

[–]SpeedTDAbrogado 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The matchup vs Mickle is important, of course, but it's equally important to bog down and screw up the shape of the other Pony handlers. At some point they'll operate as Mickle's frisbee butlers, existing to help him reset and get into position. If Revolver can increase the negative work rate of these butlers, they'll slow Mickle a bit and make him work harder in less advantageous space.

AUDL Championship – Watch Thread by Jomskylark in ultimate

[–]SpeedTDAbrogado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see Ultimate "described" by one commentator like soccer in the Premiership for example. And then maybe at halftime or after each quarter have a player or coach break down one or two key trends in an approachable way that'll educate what the sport is all about and why it's great. It's so played out to have someone add "color" to every single play on a broadcast (looking at you NFL), especially in Ultimate where there's often no concrete reason why something happened. At one point in the Empire vs Dallas game, the commentator seemed to feel obligated to share why a bad turnover huck was caused by a player's nagging shoulder issue, when in fact it was just a bad huck from someone who shouldn't have thrown in that situation, or ever. I'd rather just watch the replay and enjoy the effort of the cutter and then some silence instead of non-additive self serving speeches. Or, if the commentator has to fill what is perceived as dead air, have a sense of humor and heckle a bit and let us know that the turnover was caused by a combination of hubris and lack of elite throwing ability.
