Re: Convincing ESPN to Show Championships

I think you'd have to cycle around each field. Then later just show highlights. Keep the standings scrolling on the screen.
A big part is telling people who a team is. Not many people know the 2408 Shrapnel Sergeants represent Hazelwood West.
Get interviews from big teams to play before their matches and show updates from the pits. Make a story out of it, so people at home get interested. If the announcers know they're on TV, they'll get hyped. Maybe bring in some guest announcers sometimes (celebs, athletes, etc.)
