None. My only opposition to Livestream it's not immediately obvious to some broadcasters that their stream can't be embedded.

Care to elaborate or are you just going to waste all of our bandwidth?

Re: Webcasts 2015

While I appreciate all of the video feeds, you would think that FIRST would want to nationally manage the video transmission. Have one site, with great video capacity for all of the regionals. (Maybe even HD feeds as some are pretty grainy) It just seems to me that leaving it up to the regional planning committees to provide this, doesn't help FIRST promote their product and allow others besides FIRST enthusiasts to possibly watch the matches. As it is you have to be pretty hard-core FIRST addict to maneuver through umpteen sites to watch the matches. Plus some feeds have horrible buffering issues. Don't get me wrong I like what thebluealliance folks and others have done, I just think it could be a whole lot better.

I do agree that its a pain not having a single source for video but its better than having no video at all. Leave it to those companies like twitch.tv that all they do is video.

The fact that I have to go to a buried page in FIRST(at the very least the link should be on the home page) that has the links to SEVEN different web pages for that may or may not contain the video for specific regionals or districts is ridiculous. I feel like Kamen continues to harp each year on we need get more people to know about FIRST, and appreciate FIRST, this would seem like such an easy thing that FIRST HQ could do to help manage their brand and exposure. Right now they are putting the mercy of their brand and exposure into the hands of each regional to manage the video presentation of the regionals. FIRST ships a semi full of equipment to each regional surely they can provide one additional equipment, PC, video equipment, etc to set this up, so that the only thing the regional/district needs to supply is an internet connection.

On top of all that, I've gone to regionals in the recent past where I had no idea heading there if there was even going to be a broadcast, when I found out at the regional where it would be hosted it was too late because the site was blocked by our school, so people at the school could not watch. Had i known the site ahead of time, I might have been able to get the site unblocked for them to watch.

Rant over.
