I've watched every match so far. I had one brief freeze on Day 1, but all has been smooth otherwise. The picture quality is fine.
The commentating has been mixed, but lots of it has been good. Upstate Al likes to get some variety in the booth, and that's a good thing when the event is so long. So far we have heard from Al Leon, Gene Mann, Steve Kurtz, Mike "Fingers" Badstubener, Larry Ross, Tom Karabotsos, Kevin Clark, Ed Culhane, Bob Madenjian, Tony Robles, Karl Kantrowitz, Jude Rosenstock, and Pete Margo.
One criticism I have of many of these commentators, as well as most others in all events, is that they rarely have their facts straight as to what has happened so far in the game (and in the event more generally).
Yes I was there behind the mic on Monday, didn't say too much. I'm a little out of stroke on my commentary and was taking it all in !!
I plan on going back on Saturday, and look forward to getting in the booth as long as they will have me !!!
Steve
