Honestly, it is a so so stream, but it is the only game in town so it is what it is. I think their announcing gets worse every year. Personally, I think the announcing of Gibbs, Dilleberto, and Mark are a mind numbing set of announcers. If you look back through old threads you will see where probably more than half the comments are about people who just turn the audio off during the match. Getting the stream for the 10 ball on a 10 footer is worth getting those days at least. It is a top tier invitational event. There tends to be a lot of dead time on the stream as they wait for a next available match. Pat will throw replays up during that time if he sees it will be lengthy, which it often is. I wish they would have the 10 Ball at the end of the tournament and show that on the stream rather than the 9 Ball, therefore showing all of the Banks Event. There are a lot of people that feel that way too. I find the 9 Ball to be like watching paint dry.
Accu-Stats does a great job by offering different viewing packages such as day and evening sessions. I end up buying the individual days or sessions, usually about ¾ of the 10 Ball, the evening session that has the Banks semi and finals, and then the last day of the one pocket (although they tend to show too much 9 Ball on that day). So I don’t buy the whole event stream any more since they stopped showing all of the Banks, and continued without care about the bad commentating.
There are transmissions problems almost every year, at some point. Usually it is more of a short annoyance than anything else. Other than that, video quality is usually great.
