Actually a commercial every 2-3 matches wouldn't be bad, plus you would have to switch fields periodically, it would kind of be like how they broadcast multi-table poker games, having a "feature" table and rotating through. They could also have interviews and everything to spice it up and keep the matches live, you would just need to record interveiws before hand. I think a big network would find a way to make it work. In terms of sponsors and blurring out stuff I think that if we got a lot of the big sponsor's of FIRST to have commercials on the broadcast we could get rid of that. I mean look at nascar all the cars are sponsored by different companies.
