I know it'll be on NASA-TV...if your cable carries that channel. *jeremy |

Along time ago ESPN used to cover it late at night. Not any more.

ESPN's last showing of the championship event was in 1998 (? Maybe 99) No clue on the reasoning why they dropped, and attempts with letters and emails by participants trying to get coverage back have failed.
Now that Disney is out, it would make ESPN coverage almost impossible. Disney owns ABC Network who also own ESPN |

ESPN covers Magic: The Gathering matches... now, I love that game, but frankly, I think we're more deserving of coverage.

If Tech TV had the resources I bet they would cover it...
Maybe If we asked PBS would cover it, or some station must be willing to broadcast it. |

There was also that weird game where people push stuff around with big sticks. I think I saw it in the olympics, but I don't remember what it was called.
