Direct DV capturing seems like overkill for something thats going to be compressed and uploaded to the net anyways. My camcorders capture about 3 megabytes a second of video ..

Using a normal VCR hooked into the video system (which you can do .. just talk to the video person at the event) and a long tape will work fine. Just hit the record button before they start, and get the tape at the end of the day. Then use an analog capture card and some editing software (even a computer with Windows Media Center would work fine) and edit and compress the videos.

If you're REALLY determined to webcast it, contact your sponsers. You'd be suprised what some of your sponsers have access to/are capable of doing.
