2003 IRI live on the web!!
 

With support from Kenny A. from SOAP 108 and NASA, we can now confirm that there will be a live webcast of this years IRI. We will be broadcasting at 100k and on Windows Media Player only. Addresses where you can find the webcast are both at http://nasa.sigmacat.com and http://nasa.indianafirst.org The links to these addresses likely will not work until the day of the event so don’t be alarmed if you have trouble getting to the webcast. PLEASE spread this around as much as possible so that we can get as many people as we can to watch the event.


I’d like to thank everybody making this possible and for all the hard work everybody has done with IRI planning. Lets hope everything goes off without a hitch to make this the best IRI ever!!

I'm definately telling my cousins and friends to watch it :) This is going to be awesome!

Sweet!!! I can't go so sitting glued to my computer screen is the next best thing. :)

Awesome! Now... to spread this information to the world...

Yes by noon tomorrow children in Japan will be awaiting the IRI Webcast and people all over the world will be chanting "FIRST, FIRST, FIRST!" :D

link bookmarked :D

hey i got one question on this, i know soap is going to help host a webcast, but will the webcast be archived at all, maybe on soap or the nasa page or something?

Yes, SOAP will be there to digitize the event and it will eventually be posted on the web.

Dave thanks for the quick reply its great being there to watch it live, but its always nice also to see it on the web at a later meeting or something.

Yay!!! way to go 108 and Nasa....


This is a very big deal, and we couldn't have done it without those guys. Now keep spreading the word around

This is excellent news, just proving that IRI is becoming a well-known, spectacular event. I hope that everyone that isn't able to come watches the live feed - this will be as exciting, if not even moreso, than a regular regional. Guaranteed.

Soap 108 is quite the amazing team...
I don't know if anyone else realises this, but now people from our whole alliance from nationals will be there, alliance 5 from Galileo (263,108,1038)

way cool....but how will i get my work done??;)

dark clouds are forming....
 

Only if we obtain a routable, static IP can the event be webcast. We are awaiting confirmation from tech support of the local high school. There's a good chance we can not webcast, but in exchange we will digitize LiVE and post scores LiVE on soap108.com.

The digital archive (and, if available, the web stream) URL is www.soap108.com/2003/movies/iri/

The scores, stats, etc... is www.soap108.com/2003/events/iri/
The Seeding page has a link to a scroller, best viewed in full-screen.

Also note, qualification matches are scheduled to start at 2:30pm Central Time on Friday and run until 8:30pm.

Q Matches resume at 8:30am on Saturday and run until 12:30pm.
Elims follow at some point....

Thanks,
KA-108 :cool:
