First off, fantastic job pulling together a quality webcast. It's a very big challenge and it looked great! I only caught some of IRI Live due to other commitments, but based on what I saw there was a lot that was done well and a few areas for improvement.

Kudos:
-Location on the upper balcony was perfect. Somewhat isolated but still kept the live background from the live event. I really think having a live background gives it a much more "sportsy" look
-Stream quality was very good. High resolution and well-balanced cameras. The full-field fisheye was a little blurry at the edges but that didn't really detract from the viewing experience unless you were REALLY interested in the human players or something. Camera work was good as well.
-Commentary was on point, there was great synergy between the analysts and I think you did a great job keeping the level of detail appropriate for a general audience without being so high level as to lose the die-hards.

Improvements:
-I personally would have liked a little more analysis and a little less interviews. That being said, I really have no idea how to talk at length about RR without running out of material after two or three matches, especially without the can war dice-roll. The interviews were nice, but I felt a little more time could have been dedicated to talking about the teams before moving on.
-Audio could use some upgrades. When I tuned it the volume was OK but there was definitely some clipping. Headsets are nice, but even just some cheap table-top mic stands would help to tune the levels.
-The flow between matches was a little choppy. It felt weird to have dead air between the end of the match and the score, and then go into analysis. Of course, doing it differently means you need communication between the analysts and the MC/GA, which is hard.
-Overlays. Yeah...this is a stretch. Custom overlays take a lot of work and if you can't do it well it's best to not do it at all. Not a knock on the production at all, but definitely something to try for next year. With the API expanding, I'd love to see it used for more live event stuff.

Most of the improvements I'm suggesting are really a level jump that requires a LOT more effort and work up front to make it all come together, so in no way is it a knock on what you did. For the resources, I think you all put together about the best production possible. The FRC fan in me wants more more more, and the GameSense host in me knows it's never quite that easy.

Overall, great job. It's great to see more sportscasting added to FRC events, it's sorely needed to broaden the program reach and appeal.
