But thats just it. ESPN3 video always plays properly. And I'm not sure if Runnerspace is ultimately responsible for video. Its going through their website but its alluding to this brand new thing called USATF.TV that will apparently be making its debut. Does that honestly inspire confidence that it will all happen without a hitch?

Runnerspace....rebranded.
Is it "runner space," or "runner's pace?" Or is it cleverly both at once? hmmm...

It's pronounced "amateur" and "not enough bandwidth".

I love a rye sense of humor.
I never liked Runnerspace's live streaming. They have a way of making races seem less exciting. Something about their webcasts cuts out the crowd noise, eliminating any electric atmosphere from the meet.

It's spelled "wry". Rye is a grass/grain.
Ah, so I'm not the only one old enough to remember the Heidi incident. For several years afterwards, Sports Illustrated announced the Heidi Awards to its annual winners of egregiously bad sports reporting and broadcasting...

now known as the "Rawsons"
so when is the 10000 begin streamed?
usatf.tv goes on runnerspace, and there is a late 90's quality video stream of long jump with no audio.

Are you trying to strawt an argument?

Give me the best video feed. I can always turn off the sound.
techies: how hard is it now for usatf/runnerspace to ensure good video? Is it massively costly or easy?
Cause I could see a huge backlash if the video is jumpy and freezes all the time.

You stupid twit. This is abuse. Arguments are down the hall.

Oh, I was feeling conciliatory
Runnerspace has 6 hours till the 10k. Will they be able to fix their broken site and have it stay live by then?
It would be really surprising if it worked. Not working right now!
Both usatf.tv and runnerspace.com are showing white screens. Anyone have two cans and a long string covered with wax?
It's up amazingly enough at this site--watching now:
I remember the 'Heidi' incident quite clearly.
Has anyone besides me attempted to point out the trifling little discrepancy in the published schedule to USATF?
(If they ever did cut it off with 3 laps left in the race, I think some enterprising track-fans might nuke their headquarters.)
Funny thing is, if they didn't show it at all, people would grumble and complain and talk about how incompetent the USATF is and how they are bad for our sport and part of the problem.
But if they DO show the race and cut out with 3 laps remaining, people will go absof-ckinglutely NUTS!!!!!
