In Reply to: The Case For 'Regionalizing' teams at the Nationals. posted by Joe Johnson on 8/15/2000 7:02 AM MST:



I'd just like to say right on to Joe's proposal, which is as always logical and thought provoking. It doesn't really alter how things are done very drastically either but it definetly makes it a lot easier to envision TV coverage of FIRST. Obviously there are a number of problems with trying to do TV coverage of the nationals in it's current form, especially LIVE TV coverage. I would love to see a mainstream channel like NBC covering FIRST live (well except for the bumbling idiot of a comentator Bob Costas...god help us if he ever tries to do play by play 4 FIRST ;-P). One of the major problems, as Joe eluded to is that the finals are still on multiple stages and therefore it is impossible to show all of the matches on TV (or the web for that matter). I watched the Nationals over the web for the first time this past year, and it was well a patience testing expirence ;-) Finally I ended up admiting defeat and just watching Einstien (because it had the fastest internet connections devoted to it), unfortunately I missed out on a ton of matches in general and most of my team's matches. I look forward to when I can watch FIRST nationals LIVE on TV, although even LIVE TV converage will never capture the FIRST spirit ;-) So good luck to everyone making a pitch for these kind of TV centric changes, wish I could be @ the forum to back you all up.

-Justin
