I can confirm 1678 will be webcasting the event. The students have packed up our necessary equipment and will likely start broadcasting practice matches tomorrow. See the post above mine for an embedded link.

Unfortunately, we will not be permitted to use our HD set up at CVR this year, which will likely be true for all three events we attend (CVR, SAC and SVR). This is out of our hands, and has to do with union regulations regarding "broadcasted events" and the labor fee's that FIRST pays to Show Ready Events.

We are not happy about this decision, but we have been instructed from the Regional Director level that this is how it will be in CA this year. The quality of these broadcasts is not what we want to provide the FRC Community, and we apologize in advance for any viewing frustration this may cause. We hope you'll still enjoy cheering on your favorite California teams this weekend.

See you all soon.

Thanks for the explanation that probably explains the lack of quality in week 1 pretty much throughout event live webcasts
