#FIRSTChampLIVE Announcement

Thank you to everyone involved in the broadcasts for all your hard work. I think this is a huge step in growing interest for FIRST "outside the tent."

We had some mentors who couldn't make the trip to St. Louis, but they were watching the webcast and had nothing but great things to say about it. After we were eliminated on Saturday, I went across the street to my hotel to drop some things off. I ended up watching the stream from my room for the rest of the division playoffs, instead of going back to the dome. I think that says a lot about the quality of the production you guys put on.

Sounds like this went really well! I can't wait to watch the recordings.

Just a suggestion for next year. I appreciate what FIRST tries to do with the MCs (right? Or GAs?) between Einstein matches, but to be brutally honest, it just doesn't execute very well. Maybe you should see if GameSense can either train whomever is set to do the commentary next year to flow better, or have your hosts down there instead. I think the main issue is just throwing the conversation back and forth to each other, as well as transitioning and filling in gaps of awkward silence.
