I still don't see it. I went down to Orlando and watched the X-BALL games. Thanks to the format it was interesting for five or six games (matches?)......but watchable sport for ESPN couch potatos....I dunno.
You run. Plant. Shoot a lot of paint. Run a little more. Game over.
That pretty much described every game. Replaying it 60 times doesn't make it any more exciting for the viewer.
Then there is number of players, since that is what this sport is really about.....I have played at scenerio games with 1000+ players. How many tournaments bring out those kind of numbers?
A large tournament would be (what?) 30 ten person teams....300?
