Why is the Newton Webcast so horrible?

The cameras are in different positions on the different fields. I think I looked at Newton after they moved the camera, but in that division you can see the whole field, whereas in some of the other divisions (I remember Curie specifically), the camera is zoomed in on the center platform and you can't see the edges of the field or the alliance stations. That sorta bugged me. =/

I know, how are you supposed to be able to keep track when there are 4 things to watch at once!? Haha, I'm lucky, my 4 "adopted" teams are only split into 2 divisions. I opened Curie and by sheer luck managed to catch both rounds of 1114's practice match, which was cool. But I'll be looking forward to match listings too, so I can catch some of 564 and 229. It's fun watching FIRST but it's better when you're friends with people on the team.

And best when you're ON the team, but that's a touchy subject for this thread and all those left at home...
