The fact that people fly to and drive to tournaments is testament to
the fact that they love to *play* ultimate.  The fact that they leave
prior to the finals is testament to the fact that they do not love to
*watch* ultimate.  If ultimate players don't watch the finals of
nationals, which segment of the non-ultimate playing population do you
suppose will watch?
