It is a gimmick without emotional attachments, but what if it happens to actually be really good? In my opinion this is a pretty cost effective way of doing a rollout, and if the format catches on I would bet it would change down the road to feature regionally based teams and an actual schedule.
In am intrigued, and I will probably watch. In principle, I don't see how this is all that much different from Rugby Sevens, which is a fantastic game.
