Thanks

That would work
However in my experience capture cards can be unrelaible if you are leaving them for hours on end and they need software. So I would suggest using a VCR. Most VCR's are capable of recording though RCA inputs, look at the back and see if there are some RCA plugs that are labeled "input".
I suggest testing it before you get to the regional. Almost all game systes (Xbox, Wii, GameCube etc) have RCA outputs, so you could plug them into the VCR to test it. A couple other important notes are.
They provide a female plug, so you may need to get a male to male cable from radioshack to make the connection.
Depending on how many people got there first the video plug (yellow) and audio plugs (white and red) might be far apart, so I recommend bringing at lest one extra cable in case you cannot connect all of it using one cable.
BTW I don't know if this is just Chesapeake, but there were 2 stations, each having about 8 outputs, and there were only two teams recording.
