[BD] Squad Sizes

I kind of see your point. Most of the people I hear talking about this sort
of thing are people who started playing before me, in the days when GB took
14 to a worlds tournament and played 3 hour games to 21 which mainly
involved short/fat/old/slow people (or handlers) luzzing the disc downfield
in the vain hope that it's arrival in the endzone might coincide with a
teammate, happy in the knowledge that the other team would do the same. If
this was a better spectacle than what you see currently then maybe you
prefer the long ball tactic as well?

I think Ultimate isn;t interesting to watch because we take ages between
points and make fundamental catching errors (with perhaps the exception of
the open final, watch any of the Euro finals from Southampton and think
about how someone new to the sport would percieve the skill level
required!!!).

Lets not pretend we play a full time sport, we do this for fun (!) and so
have to cram our matches into a weekend nationally and a week
internationally. If we had three days off between games then I could see the
point in limiting to 14, but it's much better watching a game where every
turnover matters, than one where they are inevitable.
