    All of these features are definitely added complexity from a gear standpoint.
    Yes. But from a 'customer watching this on PPV' the results would be fantastic. :P

    We absolutely need to get the game right for players before we worry about televising anything.

    Nah - screw the players. Television is not for the people on reality shows, it is edited for the consumer. :P

    Speaking of editing, I'm always surprised that there's such an emphasis from the webcam to have it live. I would think they could edit together a more interesting match than they can show with live play-by-play.

    Why not prepare for both at once?

    I honestly believe that a format that is genuinely watchable will also be fun for players. At the very least, the concepts are not exclusive. It is certainly possible to come up with a format that's TV friendly, player friendly, wallet friendly, field friendly, newbie friendly and uninitiated-viewer friendly. At *the very least* we can do a heckload better than we are. It's just a matter of figuring out what that looks like. Some of the ideas in this thread are getting darned close imo.
