Probably true if there's millions of dollars on the line.  Butin the 
meantime, the (college) observer system works.

Zone D would be extremely rare at the mega-elite level we're taling 
about.  I think making it illegal would be overkill (and, as judd 
pointed out, hard to enforce).  If you really really hate zone D, just 
increase the double-team distance.

But honestly, elite club ultimate is skewed enough to the offense already.
