Loved it, really impressed that they laid this on for free, and the system coped well. And with an option to spam the presenters your agrievances aswell 
The paintballing presenters were very good, and Bea Youngs was great! I know she's pretty and all, but Im talking about the presenting

Well - honestly - do they really "need" better quality.... IF it stays free? I beg to differ!
If we start paying for it, then it´s a whole different story!
A clock is a good idea as well - could actually then just have the team names on there all the time as well, as you say yourself, joining halfway through a game was a bit confusing - so yeah a clock and the names of the team playing during the entire game!
True, it was great considering we got it free!Well - honestly - do they really "need" better quality.... IF it stays free? I beg to differ!

I'll rephrase it to "it would be nice to have higher quality"
Yea - clock and team names up the top permenantley would also be nice.
All in, I was impressed. A chance to see what tournies really should be like!
Great venue in what is arguably the benchmark for ballin. As for the feed itslef - yea, the grainy webcam feed was a littel frustrating, but you could generally see whats going on.
things i would change - certainly liking the Roster Idea - knowing who is doing what to whom - after all thats how hero's are made, no?
Secondly - actually having a dead count - even the commentators kept loosing count..... I'm sure there were plenty of instances where there could ahve been come climatic tension building, but not knowin really meant loosing out.
Bea Young was awesome commentator - she sounded like she knew what she was talking about, rather than talking for the sake of talking. in particular she gave the most accurate accounting for player location and movement. Fast and precise, rather than what was at times, random bumbling from the others - she is very watchable, and not just for the commentary

I think thts a little hard to do live - there was confusion with who was out amongst the ref's, so for people to update tht info live would be extremely difficult.
Would be nice thou
I thought the webcast was great, and the quality made it watchable if nothing else.
I think the biggest comment I have is about the lack of organisation within the commentary booth. A lot of the time commentators got cut off, or didn't know what was happening at the time so you see them sat there looking completely blank Would be nice to see some instant replay and player counts onscreen, but not really a necessity.
Oh and the female presenter is a complete tard. Scrap her.

Having "instant" replay would disrupt the game - it's not like football where you can show reply's when the ball goes off...paintball is constant, so while we're watching the reply something crazy could happen and the game could be won.
They did replay's afterwards, which i thought was awesome.
I miss the webcast already!!! Bring it back. Actually, don't - not for a while at least - I'll get over it and could do with some sleep.
