For those of us whose local remote kickoff only admits 4 [EDIT: make that 3] people per team, putting together an off-site viewing opportunity is a necessity for the rest of the team. I recommend that all teams make sure as many of their members as possible view the kickoff somehow or other.
You could get friendly with someone who has a home theater, digital recorder, and satellite TV--the works. Oh yeah, and a big living room or office to hold everybody. Have people bring breakfast munchies, coffee, cups, plates, and napkins. Chairs, too, if needed.
Team 330 was able to use our home church's auditorium last year, and we hosted some other teams who needed a place to watch the kickoff. Although our Web reception was embarrassingly slow (heavy traffic--not the fault of our equipment), I think it was worth getting up early for. If we do it again in 2005, we'll try to get better reception--maybe we can get someone to loan us a satellite system or something.
