I wonder whether room operators could make any money by increasing their use of fixed video recording equipment.
If I were playing in the weekly nickel and dime tournament at my local room and got to the finals for the first time, I might pay a few bucks for a CD of my final-round match as viewed by a fixed overhead video camera. If I got to play a name player in a little tournament at my local room, I might buy a CD of the match as a souvenir. If my APA team were playing a big match I might buy a CD of the match. If I were an intermediate player I might buy and study videos of my stroke.
A few rooms have webcams and quite a few rooms use video to monitor their tables, but I haven’t visited a room that uses fixed video recorders to produce saleable products. Just a thought...
