This is probably the best addition to Champs since I can remember. Thank you GameSense, Twitch.tv, and FIRST!

Don't forget the 4 FLL Streams, and the FIRST Conferences stream!

14 Streams. My computer is ready. My internet bill is not.

Since you guys are on the inside when it comes to production of the FIRST videos can you please put in a strong recommendation for the layout used at the Texas Events? It is a 4 window split: top of it is a full field view, lower left is a fixed view of blue, lower right is fixed view of red, and the lower center is a floating view from a camera opperator. IMO this is far superior than most regional videos where you have a camera operator who likes to focus on a meandering robot instead of the action.

This is awesome guys!

It's things like this that make the FIRST Chmapionship feel more like a mainstream sporting event.

As someone who (unfortunately) won't be able to make it to Champs this year and will have their eyes glued to the livestream, thank you!

I second this as it is a personal peeve of mine to see the camera operator focusing on a robot that has been upside down for 45 seconds. The Texas screen layouts were superior to anything else I have seen in any way this season. With a big enough screen, this should appease most viewers. (Sorry mobile or small screen users)

Will the Opening Ceremony be broadcasted? If so, which video/stream on Game Sense will be covering it?

IIRC in the past, all the division webcasts have streamed Opening and Closing Ceremonies, as well as the Einstein matches.
But don't quote me on that...

So coverage would be on the "Einstein field" on TBA's GameDay?

Yes. I believe it will be on all the division streams.

Einstein is actually just the #FIRSTChampLive stream on GameSense.
