broadcastsport Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 At www.broadcastsport.net we have webcasted the Wrestling State Finals every year since 2005, and we started including LIVE VIDEO in 2006. We also broadcast 2 Sectionals, 2 Regionals and 2 Semi-States every year. But this year we have been broadcasting more of that other (nameless) sport and are having trouble finding people to help with wrestling broadcasts. Maybe wrestling fans got too wore out fighting to keep wrestling in the Olympics, or Live Webcasts just aren't as valuable as we thought they were.

maligned Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 You should definitely broadcast the events you've been broadcasting! Has viewership fallen off? I could be wrong, but I would guess it hasn't. I live overseas and I would be incredibly disappointed not to have the option to watch some of the upcoming tournaments--especially since Elkhart County is a focus area.

XCard Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Not that it really matters, but what kind of help with broadcasts are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadcastsport Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 We need someone that I can teach how to setup the equipment and people to do move-by-move commentary. It is usually easier to find talkers than techies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherise219 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I did some talking last year Friday night it's a great seat and fun to do. I'm in a suite this year I'll try to sneak down if I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The other feed last year was integrated with track wrestling which made it better to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm in a suite this year I remember those days. Enjoy them while they last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Spires Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I've helped broadcast conference and sectionals before and it's pretty fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadcastsport Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 If we were to only broadcast the State Finals and not bother promoting those wresters who only make to the Sectional, Regional or Semi-State level, we could probably raise enough revenue to cover integrating the Track Wrestling scoreboard as well. It is frustrating when a company from out-of-state who wasn't even on the State's approved list of broadcasters is allowed to come in, and is allowed to occupy the space that we have always been denied access to!

broadcastsport Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 www.broadcastsport.net will be LIVE VIDEO webcasting the Elkhart Sectional on Saturday, weather-permitting. We will have 1 camera on each mat all day long, with move-by-move commentary as well. We will be maintaining brackets throughout the day's action right on the same page where fans are watching from. And our brackets only require clicking a tab to switch to another weight and they refresh automatically without the viewer having to reload the page manually. You can checkout the brackets already for Elkhart. We will try to update brackets for at least the Westview and Mishawaka Sectionals as well. Our LIVE VIDEO webcasts can be watched in a viewer embedded right On the same page with the brackets on Windows and APPLE devices. And Android devices can watch by clicking a link to open a separate window for the video. Usually we LIVE VIDEO webcast the Mishawaka Sectional as well, but just ran out of time and people to make that happen this year. We plan on broadcasting the Goshen Regional next week, and might make it to Rochester as well, if anybody is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also...the brackets seem to be working on my mac for the first time. In past years, it hasn't been possible to toggle between weights on macs.

Nutterbutter Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I thought FOX 59 agreed/signed to broacast all IHSAA state title events... Correct me if I'm wrong. But I think it would be a good idea to broadcast this way also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadcastsport Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 The IHSAA only broadcasts the 14 Championship Matches. That's why we always go down and provide LIVE VIDEO for all of the other 848 matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on track and I don't know if it's even possible to update faster than them. Just one less thing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCard Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I wouldn't mind talking, would like to be more of the color guy instead of move-by-move guy, but either works! I could also help with the tech stuff. You can email me at maldo484@aol.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azcoach Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 WZBD 92.7 FM will be live streaming Friday nights session in it's entirety at State, and will be covering the sectional, regional, and semi-state doing at least a couple of rounds of each including the finals.
