Great points - Professional Ultimate Frisbee is already there!
A trend in sports that is only going to accelerate... The alternative 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳-𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘥 scoring formats to help improve the product (by making it more exciting for today's time-starved world). MAIN REASON? Appeal to the younger generations (𝘸/ 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘳𝘰 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘴). 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀: 🏓 Pickleball moving to point per rally scoring to speed things up. 🎾 Tennis experimenting at the ATP NextGen Finals with sets to 4 games and No Ads played (Fast4). 🏏 Cricket's T20 format that is reshaping the game as it gains popularity in North America. 🎾 Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) experimenting with timed tennis by playing 4 x 8-minute quarters (with tie-break-like scoring). 🏓 Padel implementing the use of the 'Golden Point' played at Deuce and the use of a 3rd set super tie-break to create shorter matches. ⚾ Baseball adding a pitch clock to speed up the game length. 🏸 Racquet project called 'Thirty30' for tennis, padel, and pickleball where every game starts from 30-30 (instead of 0-0). 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹, 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀: • shorter • faster paced • more 'big' pressure moments Interestingly... On one side we have sports speeding up gameplay, on the other side we have rights holders adding more commercial breaks (i.e. College Football Playoffs). 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀) 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀).
