Championship coverage

[Ravaging Beast]

Anyone know what is going on with the live stream? I hear that none of the D2 games were covered either.

Looks like it is working now.

I just lost the feed in the 2nd OT between Oregon and Chapman.... anybody else know what is happening?

[Ravaging Beast]

Word on the street is 4th OT. My guess is the camera guys left.

Oregon upsets Chapman in 4OT.

[Dan Wishengrad]

Wow. Too bad we couldn't watch it.

I have mostly held my tongue this year but live game streaming in 2013 has been consistently terrible. When the feed is working you can't make out the score from the box in the upper left hand corner, so need the announcers to let you know the game situation. Have yet to try to watch a game and been able to view one in it's entirety. Whatever these guys are charging the MCLA is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. Fire this company and get some folks who are competent to take over.

Oregon upsets Chapman in 4OT.

I was really getting into the game. Great win by the Ducks to beat Chaptown in the 4th overtime. To beat Chapman twice in one year is a huge accomplishment for first year coach Keebler.

Sonoma took Boston College down.

The feed was terrible. They need TLN out there doing the games. Camera guys could not follow the ball and camera changes were poorly timed and unnecessary. One thing that stood out to me was the uniforms for Stanford. Pretty sick.

Having worked on a lot of various live streaming options over the past 3-4 seasons, it's still a technology that has a LOT of points of failure.

I'm not sure the exact setup the MCLA and their partners are using, but hopefully everything else goes well! We certainly know how tough it can be and sympathize as we've had our share of problems at events.

I don't profess to know much about streaming live events, but it seems to me that if you were familiar with the venue and had the weekend to prepare this situation could have been avoided. It's a shame for the 32 teams that worked their tails off to get to Greenville. Half of those teams played their only meaningful game of the tourney yesterday and their families and friends couldn't watch. When you also consider that the only articles posted to the MCLA site this morning are generated by the teams, you really get the sense that the MCLA dropped the ball this year. If you tried to get the "story" of the games by the stats, you would also discover that there are many inaccuracies. The teams deserve much, much better.

It's not like this is their first year in the venue. Looking through the stats from the Chapman/Oregon game, the points don't match up. Are the teams entering their own stats? Seems like they could at least have real time stats for the games. It says Oregon has 9 goals and Chapman only has 2. Also there are players with 30 ground balls.

The teams are not inputting stats. It's done by the Tournament.

Exactly.

And the feed is out again. I don't need to watch this anyways.
