I know they are 4 12 or 15 minute quarters, 12 i think but
whatever. has anyone been clocking how long they actually
last?
got to thinking about an old thread about 10 or 11 months
ago where folks discussed different timing scenarios that
might mesh well for televised games. got me wondering how
long the usual AUDL game last. no overtime.

The typical game runs two to two and a half hours without
OT.

for AUDL players. how would "TV Timeouts" affect your game?
or how do you think they might?
for instance, 2 per quarter, one under 8 minutes and the
other under 4 ala college basketball? too many, no problem?
eliminate the need for your own timeouts? change the pace
of the game a lot?
how long is half time? how long between quarters? i'm
guessing something on the order of 10-15 and 3-5 minutes
respectively?

and 2 to 2.5 hrs is kind of long. do they feel long?
fans? specifically fans in the stands, but online too.
players? i heard some comments after the first weekend that
the increased pace of the games made for a lot of ultimate
crammed into one match. is that still the feeling? getting
used to it or better at managing it?

I've been to two games, and they both felt too long, but
I'll admit it might be because neither game was close in the
second half. (I did enjoy watching the 4th quarter of
Spinners vs. Rampage, because, knowing they couldn't win
otherwise, the Rampage resorted to hucking it over and over,
which made for exciting plays. But even though I enjoyed
that aspect, the game still felt too long.)
Given the logistical impossibilities of playing shorter
games more frequently, would it be out of the question to
have teams play three shorter games? Could either do three
games of shorter length (20 minutes?), and have each count
towards regular season, or you could have two "medium" games
(30 minutes?) with one very short tie-breaker (10 minutes?)
if the first two are split.

only saw first Spinners game live, agree with Bulb that it
felt long, but only slightly. 4 quarters, 10 minutes each
maybe would be better?

fyi, the first nua game we did (96 club allstar game at college
easterns) our intent was to do 4 10 min quarters but ran out of time
and only did 3. that game seemed plenty long and the final score was
21 to 18. hwo long are the audl quarters now. maybe they should
switch to 8 min quarters even

Even though it's only 2 hours of ultimate, it's a lot of
playing. With about 50 points scored in a game it's about as
many points as two full games of regular ultimate crammed
into one round of a typical tournament. On a larger field
it's exhausting.
With regards to TV commercial breaks: our games have been
aired on CPTV sports with commercials. I haven't seen the tv
footage because I live in MA, but when you watch the live
stream they black out the stream for what would be
commercials. There are two timeouts for each team per half,
breaks at each quarter and up to 40 seconds between pulls.
