[Kellen Hill]

Has a match list been posted anywhere? I am curious as to what my team is in for

The webcast looks good.

The timer bar at the bottom is translucent up till the last 15 seconds of each match. The value of the chromakey might need to be adjusted to correct this.

Anybody got a match list handy. The Blue Alliance hasn't updated since Match 26.

Wish I was there...

If the company I work for (and I at home) have removed RealPlayer from our computers because of security concerns, does anyone kow of a way to view the webcast without using RealPlayer?

When I followed the URL for the Wildstang webcast, and received a prompt about how to download the RealPlayer if I don't have it already; I figured that the video stream will be encoded in a Realplayer format and that I am out of luck if I want to use a non-Realplayer viewer. I'm hoping someone can suggest an alternative approach.

Are the referees doing laps for a specific reason?

Andy Baker was the head ref in Oklahoma City this year and he had all of us referees do laps whenever there was a penalty free match. We tried to run them a different way each time! Since it was mostly rookie teams at that regional, they all thought it was very funny and worked really hard to have penalty free matches!

Seems to be the same thing here. Remember who the head ref is...

Updating again.

[Joe G.]

Is something wrong with Stang's gripper? In the two matches I have seen of them, they haven't seemed to attempt to pick up any balls.

Great competition so far.
