How are lower ranked teams suppose to improve if they don't play the top teams. It may well be boring for UTI/Catch to have to play Sneeeky's/BAF but we need games like that to learn from and gain experience. I know you wont have forgotten this but surely for the sake of improving British Ultimate on a wide level the top teams could put up with the odd easy game on a Saturday.
