[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some have much better feeds than others, with inset results, clear video, and and a dedicated, audible commentator. Others are total crap and it’s hard to tell which team swimmers are on, much less which swimmer might be yours or who touched the wall first. Any audio detectable over ambient noise may as well be Charlie Brown’s teacher. “Whomp a whomp whomp whomp.”[/quote]

A lot of that has to do with the facility.  It’s a lot easier to have a good quiet feed at gmu with a big scoreboard, a place for the video away from swimmers etc, then say at all providence with no scoreboard and a camera in the stands with the swimmers [/quote]

To a point, I guess.  But my kids had two different meets hosted by two different teams at GMU in December.  First meet had a parent volunteer reading the heat sheet to let spectators know what was happening and where we were in the meet.  Second meet was just ambient sound and you tried to hear what was coming next.  That second meet had a concurrent feed showing the scoreboard, but it went on the fritz and got out of synch with the swim feed-- trying to stream two feeds from the car without wifi isn't going to work well. And the volunteer signup was full before our team even saw it, so don't bother just telling me to volunteer.

It doesn't take much to ask for a parent volunteer to read the meet sheet and try to relay some times.[/quote]
