Small point to add: the final should have an audience, its the final of a
national event... what does it say about the sport from an outsider point of
view to see a no one watching. Schedule the final in a slot of its own, this
will also allow new players to learn about the game at the highest standard.
It simply adds scale to overall event

Although fire 1 did not ever have 3 games in a row at the weekend, there is
a related point to make regarding the tour 2 final.
I feel that the 35 minutes we had between finishing our semi-final against
chevy (the game went to the cap) and the final is too short a gap.
Considering that by that point both teams had played 5 games, and that the
final of the A-tour finals are supposed to be the pinacle of British
ultimate, I think that 35 mins is not adequate preparation time. (This, of
course, is also probably true for most of the play-off games.)
To add weight to this, I seem to remember that finals used to take place at
least an hour after semis (sometimes as long a gap as a couple of hours or
more!). This meant both that so the teams could recover and get ready to
put a good show on, and also that more people could watch the final.
What has changed? Why? And are the benefits worth the costs?
