Good movie but one disappointing THING...

When you watch the movie, the whole movie plays out as a first a set up to a big matchup between LB Jordan (Richard and Louis) vs. Highland Park (Sam and the boy).

Then it doesn't happen and in 2006 the movie sets up that LB Jordan Richard and Louis will meet up with Greenhill (The boy and his partner), probably at the 2006 TOC (but why not 2006 Berkeley Tourney? We saw Highland Park goes to that tourney in 2005. Greenhill didn't go in 2006 to Berkeley?)

I know it's a documentary and you can't plan it, but the movie is framed such that it's going to happen and really wants to make it such that you see that matchup. When that matchup doesn't come at all in any shape or form, it's very disappointing.

Really wanted to see that matchup in some form...

Agreed. The whole film felt sharply disjointed. Sam and Matt are all but forgotten once Richard and Louis come on the scene, and the film starts arguing a completely new thesis through them and their experiences in their second year. Badly done.
