Re: Utilizing breaks between matches.

Let's put it this way: There are two sets of people that are affected by the breaks in the action: Live audience, and stream audience.

The live audience can talk to each other, move around, etc. They can also watch the reset action on the field pretty easily and figure out that they need to get back to their seats/stands. I think this is what the OP was mainly referencing, no?

The stream audience often doesn't have the field view, as the stream tends to be whatever is shown on the big screen (sponsors, etc.) and the big screen isn't necessary for the live audience between (or during) matches--better for MCs and awards. But, it's there. And the stream audience tends to not have the "talk to your neighbor" option.

How to reconcile the two...


OH! I got it!

I hereby challenge AndyMark, VEX, WCP, CTRE, REV, and all the other companies that produce FIRST specific parts (or heavily used ones) to produce...

A COMMERCIAL! That's right folks, we can be like every other sport out there, and fill in some of those "dead spots" with commercials! And with those companies being the way they are... Well, I'm willing to bet that they'll come up with something worth watching the Super Bowl of Smarts for!


Spoiler for The Fine Print:
First off, I'm not entirely serious. Second, I would probably actually watch some of those--I remember some quite hilarious VEX trailers about the time the VEX kit first came out. And third...You got a 2-minute time limit, make it count.
