How to make Featherweight fights interesting!

[Ellis]

I'd love to see more structure like this. Aimlessly bashing around is a laugh but it can surely look as aimless to the crowd as it can to us. The problem with doing anything clever is the time constraint, I suppose. Having teams would definitely improve this, though, I imagine any sense of purpose is a good thing.

As I've said in the past, I think hockey or football or similar would be fantastic in the heavy arenas too. Could be as simple as the team who gets the ball to hit the other team's end of the arena the most times, and vice-versa, wins, not evening requiring a boundary line for a goal. No need to have any score counters, give that job to the crowd before the scrap starts and ask them after the game what the scores were please. The teams are picked at the start of the day at random, or alongside the draws that are done for the heavies, which leaves less to do on the fly. Of course some feathers end up not going, either in the arrival sense or the electrical sense, but it would probably save time. The teams could be identified with tape, as you said, very simple.

Only downside I can see is for the roboteers in that visibility is often not great, but I don't think it'd matter. Played this at MMM14 last year and it was a ten minute blast, for both competitors and crowd it was hilarious.
