I think a climber dumper that plays D at nationals could be huge when there are plenty of shooters to choose from. Reason is they get out of the way giving room for the shooters to work.
What shocks me is no one played D on them. They just let them go get their colored Frisbees and go to the pyramid and do their climb and no one bothered to even try to get in their way.
