If I remember correctly, it is trivial for the production company to hook into the feed in the dome. Those feeds across the dome are all linked. But that same feed does not go back to the GWCC. Also, the cost is minimal because all the monitors exist and are in place. It's more or less a cable connection (maybe I'm oversimplfying). The GWCC involves renting rigging, projectors, and screens as well as cost to assemble/disassemble and provide a feed.

The GWCC had no problem rigging up screens to display wins and losses. I don't see how it'd be much harder to pop down two more of those double sided doohickeys.

But wow, that's the coolest place I've ever seen.

It looks kind of 80's disco to me. My favorite things are the orbit balls laying around to play with!

I had my fill of being down at field level earlier in the competition. After a day on my feet and having just finished packing up our pit, I was more than content to sit and do this:




Nice. Quiet. Peaceful. Comfortable. Although I must admit that what appears on the TV's may qualify as "Copioli Overload".

And yes, I was qualified to be up there.

And it only took them like 22 tries to get that little bit of video...all Paul's fault I'm sure...
