Except it's not. Please fix this. Baseline HD stream requirements for all events. Include equipment/connectivity/staffing in budget or find a team/volunteers who can handle it.
It is not hard to do, but the hard part is getting a good stable internet connection that is fast enough to handle the constant upload speeds required to broadcast a HD stream.

At the begining of this season I would have agreed with you, but after broadcasting both a "multi-cam" broadcast and a "Full-Field" broadcast at 3 events this year, The viewership was almost double on the "Full-Field" streams.

You see, FIRSTers want the full-field view, they know the game and are entertained by the teams playing it and how it is played. But parents, grandparents and non-FIRSTers quickly get bored of a static camera angle.

Just my $0.02
