There are only two >problems I can see, Ultimate would make great TV, but needs a big TV crew to cover a game adequately, so is relatively "big budget". Goaltimate is easier to shoot well with a small camera crew, because it is played on a much smaller pitch, and all the goal-scoring (for both teams) happens in one well-defined area. Notice how the little local camera crews that show up to WUGC events always seem to gravitate towards the Guts games and ignore the main event.... it's easy to see where the action is going to happen in Guts, so you can set up accordingly. Can't do that with Ultimate. Paul --------------------------------- Paul Hurt Editor, Ultimatum paul@ultimatum.demon.co.uk http://www.ultimatum.demon.co.uk
