The two or three feeds I watched were a single fixed camera feed that looked like it was hung from the very tops of the Georgiadome, I couldn't even distinguish robots and the balls were maybe a pixel in size. Perhaps we are spoiled by regional web casts, which is what I was expecting for the divisions, with multiple cameras and on field cameras. This is too bad because I ended up not watched anything since I wouldn't have been able to tell what was going on and I have to believe that many parents, and teams who couldn't go tuned in finding the same thing.

Curious tho hear other's thoughts....

The Problem is that the competition runs on a skeleton staff for the practice day. When the actual matches start tomorrow there will be several camera men working alongside with someone who will direct which feed feeds into the web cast. You should find tomorrow, and Saturday to be better.
