Endgames are good for faster games such as Ultimate Ascent where points were scored constantly. Then the hang was an unrelated thing that could swing the match, and had different point levels. It really added to the suspense if you weren't sure how many points a team would get, especially waiting for the official score to pop up.
However, for this year there was no need. Teams only made a few cycles each match anyway (3-4), so the last cycle was really the endgame.
