@giftsigns Jesus producers, who do we have to kill to get a leaderboard in the stream every now and then?

 

[kennybest]

@be_a_light If its not Brooke and Bayley, the broadcast team doesn't care

 

[jnorthey]

@giftsigns Team events are tough to follow.

Team events in small spaces? Unwatchable. Worms and synchro nonsense? Nah.

 

[kennybest]

@jnorthey The coverage has been woeful

Tiny spaces, 20 teams at once, no concept of moving down the floor to show work completion. 3 complete idiots calling the play by play

 

[jnorthey]

@kennybest Sean is a good commentator. Lauren is bad.

 

[giftsigns]

@jnorthey Horses for courses. I thought the tight spaces there actually made it more exciting visually. Even though there are a lot of people there, you can pick out the people you want to follow - it's more difficult for the women because the top teams aren't familiar athletes, but the men you can tell them apart amongst the mass of bodies because they look distinctive.

 

[jnorthey]

@giftsigns Total views yesterday of elite teams is like 1/7 of the masters games, when they had that camera in the parking lot.

It doesn’t seem like people are tuning in for teams. Do the stands look crowded?

 

[giftsigns]

@jnorthey Wodapalooza has always sold well and is always well-attended, so I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. The Sandbag Send event is certainly exciting to watch, particularly for the men's. If you find that unwatchable the problem is not with WZA.

We'll see what the Masters competitions get this year.

 

[giftsigns]

The men's competition is very close, the top teams are still in it to win. All the best teams are up there, apart from Pat Vellner's team (he's not having a good weekend). Good to see Scott Panchik yesterday with Spencer there yesterday after the other two members of the team withdrew. Probably something that can only happen at Wodapalooza.

The women's competition is more unpredictable, don't think anyone expects the top three teams going into the final day. Team Ice Barrel underperformed, maybe they'll do better today.

 

[kennybest]

@giftsigns Isn't team ice barrel the Wells / Rayl team? They performed at their level

 

[giftsigns]

@kennybest Most of the top women chose not to go for team this year, so the Ice Barrel is the team with the highest profile athletes. Few would have heard of the women currently in the leading teams.

 

[be_a_light]

@giftsigns They really are stretching the definition of front rack in this waterfall on the bay event.

 

[kennybest]

@be_a_light Side rack and loose overhead lockout the name of the game

 

[celia96]

@be_a_light I don’t think I’ve ever seen kettlebells held in a front rack in a competition. Not complaining but they shouldn’t call them front rack.

 

[kennybest]

@giftsigns If this were any other brand but Mayhem, that team would not be on the floor

You can't change your team and get the sheer amount of coverage they're getting. Show teams who are competing properly
