    Completely agree. It’s another pointless call and stoppage, and it would make the game harder and more interesting. The only arguments against this is that it may hurt beginners, so I do think this could be moved to almost ‘an optional rule’ – where beginner tournaments can choose to have this rule at their discretion, so beginners can avoid having it, but even then, beginners love hammers so is it even that big of a deal?

    Although I agree that changing rules for *just* for spectators is a bit silly, I think the game is too stop-starty as it is, and removing timeouts would create more flow in games, which is always good for the sport. I don’t think you can say that removing them is at the expense of the players well-being- it’s a sport, you’re suppose to run – and I don’t think having a stoppage because players are a little tired, especially mid-point, is good – imo, if it’s good for flow, it’s good for the sport.

    Completely agree. There’s so much excitement when a big pull lands at the back of the end-zone, so I think if you can throw a disc 81m with 7 people trying to stop it, you should be rewarded, regardless of where it rolls.
