I wasn't being entirely serious.
However, there really doesn't seem to be the appetite for 7-man any more, on our side of the pond at least, hence the continuing squeeze between 5-man and X-alike in the Millenniums. The results of a highly scientific survey (which consisted of me looking at a few forum posts and recent events I've been to) report that 7-man attendance at local events is down too, even while 5-man is increasing. And it seems like there are finally a reasonable number of UK teams willing to put their money where their mouth is and sign up for X-ball variants.
Looks to me like 7-man's on the ropes in Europe, even if it's too early to write it off just yet.
