This is why an official arrangement would help - for example, Major League Hacking, the organization that runs 100+ collegiate hackathons around the world every year, has an official deal to stream closing ceremonies and other content with Twtich, and they've been featured on the homepage numerous times.

If FIRST is already engaging in an official capacity with Livestream, that's a good step, but I saw no evidence of it at Championship this year. Twitch would be well poised to handle this kind of traffic and they've already shown an interest in promoting STEM events like Hackathons.
