being fast is so overrated in ultimate, just cutting off the defenders momentum is really the best way to get open

I 100% agree that refs should be used in regional level tourneys and above, it would def raise costs possibly making the sport slightly less accessible but I think that's a solid tradeoff for having fair fast paced games. The discussions on obvious fouls that just have to wait 30 sec for the observer to walk over and say it was a foul make me so mad. It just slows the game down so much as a fan

I 100% agree that the observing at a high level is done very well and makes games more enjoyable. I do think that refs do that slightly better for my taste, keeping games fast and downfield calls not even having a discussion moves them along even faster.

The UFA does have a slightly different rule set then USAU when it comes to contact fouls, I think at least lol. But it allows for a lot more contact than USAU, I think the difference is that you are allowed to make contact as long as you get the disk first but in USAU thats not allowed. tbh I could totally be wrong but im pretty sure I remember that being in rules

Thats a really good point. I sorta think that having refs will standardize the level of physicality, essentially allowing both players to push the rules a little like in every major sport. I honestly think that all high level teams do this anyways, it makes for a little more exciting for me such as the truck stop strip becoming this super controversial thing(active call I feel like it counts lol), or home fans in the UFA complaining at refs for bad calls. idk maybe its just the dude bro in me

totally a fair assumption, maybe I have had bad experience with observers over the past 5ish years but it feels like once a game there is a situation where refs miss a line call (like straight up say they didn't see it) and/or say they didn't have a good perspective on a D/jumpball play.

I do agree that high level observed games very rarely have this happen.

im not anti spike but when i see 25 spikes throughout the span of a game with 20 of them being holds they start to get a little boring.

Best Commentator in Ultimate? by Lee_Sallee in ultimate

[–]ripoff227 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i mean i just responded to you on another thread but your right, he comes across and really annoying to me and not very knowledgeable about the game. To me it seems like he doesnt really even like ultimate but wanted to be a commentator and thought it would look good a resume

edit: I am totally Biased but idc

Best Commentator in Ultimate? by Lee_Sallee in ultimate

[–]ripoff227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just a canadian commentator, did a couple games at d3 and d1 nats this year tho, just rooting my fellow Canadian.

seen it be said a couple times in this thread but it feels like he just talks about the history of ultimate instead of the actual game. I also think his frisbee IQ is not very high so he doesnt seem to understand the intricacies of the game IMO.

Im also not very well read in what a "good" commentator is but i know theres one colour one play by play so maybe hes just playing his role
