Seems like extra battery packs would be a must. Don't they have this problem almost every year?

Even with extra battery packs, they still have to shut down to change them over. Or are the cameras supposed to magically work even while they're doing that?

You do that while the splash screen is up or during commercials.
Funny, isn't that exactly what's happening? Assuming of course that it is actually a battery replacement going on and not some other technical issue like a loss of signal or something.
From what I understand of the rig, shutting down/re-booting to replace the battery is at least a 5-10 minute process (picture re-booting your own laptop, then getting whatever programs you need to use back up and running). It's not a matter of pulling one battery, putting in another, and you're good to go.

JC I got the gist of your joke...was just trying to add to the comedy. There is a line in the commercial basically saying that this technology will increase speed of play in tournaments which was the reason I quoted the rule. :thmbup:
I'm out there now. Seems like there was a problem with the live feed. I think they switched to tape and will upload it later.

I don't know what the process is, but it would be nice to get a head's up from Crazy that "we're going to stand down for a few minutes to swap batteries". If it were me I would have a splash screen to post so viewers know what's going on. Less griping that way.

coverage for the first MPO round by DGPlanet was about par for the course (read sub par quality). BUT Crazy Johns commentary for me was much more informed and accurate this go round. A much needed improvement IMO. way to go Crazy!!
I don't disagree with you on the letting us know what's going on part (though apparently there was a post or two in the chat from Duesler). But lol at your last line. There's nothing anyone can do to lessen the griping of disc golfers. Nothing.

Emerging Sports profile said they were CHARGING batteries in the chat.

Anyways.... Looks like Avery and Nate both put up solid bogey free rounds.

I guess we have to add "Delicious"
What I'm seeing shows both having holes left to play, so it's premature to call them bogey free rounds just yet. (assuming you're talking Sexton rather than Doss)

Correct, should have said bogey free so far.
You know...I watched this last year and was impressed with the commentary, camera, etc. After a full year of DGG and others in the field now, I'd have to say I was thoroughly underwhelmed with Crazy's colorful unprofessional commentary. And his low whisper/gravel reminded me of that mumbly coach/guy in The Water Boy. And that single, shaky camera..I was expecting to see the Blair Witch hiding behind those trees. Thankful for the coverage...but it's obvious there is better alternatives out there now if they're willing to hire them.

Unless someone who isn't being covered under live scoring murdered it.....Moraine held up to the best that disc golfers had to offer.....glad we didn't see a 16 down....
I'm not sure what's unprofessional about him. He's constantly going over scenarious, wind conditions, placements, etc. After the European Open I'm just happy to see some disc golf. None of the crews are perfect, but there is a huge learning curve. As long as we get some footage I'm happy. Anything is better than EO. Can't look a gift horse in the mouth. Hopefully the kinks get worked out for the rest of the rounds.
