Suggestion regarding larger tourneys

Gryphos:
There's no need to not stream certain matches. All you need to do is have multiple streams covering games simultaneously. They did it on the last day of Flotsam and it worked fine.

If we've got the manpower to stream simultaneously this would certainly be the best solution.

Mr. Ace Rimmer:
Thing is, at the moment I think we are using Urz stream (CESports) with just Brick and Papa commentating (<3 you guys)

I think it's up to them if they want to expand their team or run with the dark match option also on the table.

I'm casting it too (sometimes)!

Anyways, I can't/don't want to speak for TSR too much as it is Urz's thing, but generally having multiple streams running at once is not ideal as splitting audience is generally bad. That having been said, I do agree that there was too much wait time for those participating, but it's not as simple as just let's get all the games going at once in this case. The amount of teams for this last TSR came as kindof a surprise, frankly, as so far there have really been only 3-4 teams wanting in, so to suddenly jump to 7 made it a lot more difficult time wise. But I'll leave it to Urz of how he'll want to deal with something like it for upcoming tournaments since, as I said, this is his thing.

Oh, also, as a quick note, the time it takes to cast these games also depends on you, the participants, specifically the time it takes you guys to get games going. I know you want to discuss strategy and loadouts between matches, but there were several times yesterday when the lobby was full for a good 10 minutes before any ready was thrown up, on top of which there was one specific instance in which one team would unready as the start timer was about to wind down and then ready back up again to reset the counter. Personally I'd impose a time limit between games for teams to figure out what they want to do, but for now, you guys have really gotta stop taking these extended breaks if you want the matches to progress faster.

Skrimskraw:
when it comes down to waiting 1.5 hours and getting your game streamed. vs not getting streamed and getting to play imidiately. I think you'd find most backup for the latter.
