Why is the Newton Webcast so horrible?

Also does anyone have the match listings? I want to know what time 229 has rounds so I can catch them all!

I'm watching all 4 cameras at once. Unfortunately, it looks like there's no one there to operate the cameras on Newton. Archimedes and Curie looked like they had the best video coverage. However, I think their video crew took a break as well. All the cameras are at fixed positions right now.
I haven't seen any match lists yet. I would keep my eyes on the Championship Event page at usfirst.org.

I also loved how Archie had an "Einstein" tag on it for a good section of the morning

Yeah, I was a little dissapointed about that. Einstein can usually also be accessed using the URL below. Unfortunately, NASA has been merging the video feeds and not running a single decicated feed for Einstein.

EDIT: Einstein seemed to be running a FLL tournament.

If you can only watch one webcast, go for Curie or Archimedes, there is audio on those fields. Curie's my favorite, sometimes there's an anouncer.

The camera on the Newton field got moved down and now there is sound!

Still wondering about the match lists though...

I don't think I've ever seen FIRST release the list of practice matches online.

Come tomorrow, we should hopefully have the list of actual matches posted on the FIRST website...
