I was showing how the lack of confetti might not be a negative thing. Otherwise you'd have a 2006 negatives thread where I posted about how the confetti balloons were annoying, followed by a 2007 negatives thread where someone said they wished there was confetti. Poor FIRST would be all confused.

I too only watched via the webcast, and was disappointed at the image quality, to the point where I could not read the team numbers most of the time

Seconding this. The only way I could figure out the team numbers most of the time was to consult with the schedule with the digits I was sure of. 6's REALLY look like 8's when the compression is on. NASA has lots of bandwidth, surely they could up the bitrate a bit.
...which reminds me:
It would be really nice to have the match schedules posted in such a way that we don't have to pester poor dangerousdave all friday to get our team's schedule. If you're going to have a webcast, the schedules should be online.
Another thing: The ads on the non-galileo fields were kind of annoying. They were like someone else channel surfing during a show you want to watch. You're never sure if they're going to get back to the field in time to catch the start of the match. The ads during lunch and breaks were fine and pretty interesting because they weren't obscuring something you wanted to watch. Potential solution: keep the ads, but have a little picture-in-picture in the corner showing the current status of the field so that people don't freak out.
