Agreed. Because every game piece meant something. Games like Ultimate Ascent are hard to keep track of. With a game where there are only two game pieces it's easy to follow a "scoring drive." And every score is something to celebrate. There's a build and tension akin to playing a "real" sport that many spectators are familiar with. It's very impressive to watch at a high level. In previous years spectating went something like this:
1. Mayhem on the field
2. Game pieces flying
3. ????
4. SCORES!
Though the rules of Aerial Ascent are convoluted and complicated and difficult to explain, the gravity of moments on the field were not compared to previous years' games.
