You can say all you want that this is their first broadcast but they hired disc golf planet to be their backend.
What's "backend" exactly? (For those of us not in the biz)

knockout job.... meh. they did comment constantly, i'll give them credit for that. but shouldn't they just shut up for a minute to let the players tee and putt. I feel like they try so hard to avoid any dead air that there's a lot of repetition and say simple statements very longwindedly. Decent job guys, just chill out a little bit.
My dream: Ian and Alex get flown in to do live commentary on all future DGWT events.

Like shouldn't they have a main booth somewhere with monitors and calling what they see off that along with a field reporter for each card?
Disagree that bigger spread is better. Could just mean stupid.
How is (non-)randomness derived? i.e. what does it mean?
I have to admit I was thinking they could just be watching the stream from an office somewhere and probably have better quality commentary and like you said, occasionally switch to a field reporter for interviews, etc.
These I mostly agree with. The repetition of those two short DGWT ad spots was actually annoying, would've preferred to watch some pre-recorded scenery footage after just playing them once.Needed a better selection of ads and at least not as many repetitions.
The metrics graphics were not really readable.
...
The switching from different cameras, ads, radar, and pre hole looks could have been better.
The rain radar was useful insight but only for some, because La Mirada wasn't highlighted for position on the map
Can't really expect this to happen in 24 hours though.
Any talk about the Lizotte commercial yet? Is Discmania really annoucing that McBeth will fail this year while Lizotte enjoyes it or is there something I don't get?
The bitrate of the stream was still to low. Camera cuts were random, video/commercial getting cued too early or too late and its very apparent that there is little to no communication between the talent and the production staff in the truck during the broadcast (IFB... how does it work?)
Very confusing why they didn't have JT and Avery inside somewhere watching the action on monitors and commenting from the 'booth.' I guess they like huddling around an umbrella and a single microphone where they can't see all the action?
Also. COMPRESSOR/LIMITER on a microphone. Jesus its a $150 piece of hardware that not a single group in disc golf broadcasting has invested in. Hell DGP.tv's Tricaster has it built into the software. USE IT PLEASE.
I feel like everything they do that gets a pass through post-production is looking very good but the actual live broadcast still isn't anywhere near what Jussi had at the Europe Open (or whatever major that was).
All things aside they definitely battled through that weather so kudos to everybody on site for dealing with adverse conditions.
