Looks like there will be some kind of streaming coverage of the Jr Worlds in the DR = each court appears to have streaming ?? ... they are scheduled to start tomorrow ... not sure of the times.

Got word from my daughter this morning that "It's sooooooooo hot and humid outside but in the hotel it's cool. The gym is pretty nice, it's really muggy outside of the courts but so cool in the courts haha so once you leave the court you just start sweating a ton ... The hotel is really nice ... I don't know anything about when I'm playing or who. The draws might be up tonight but Kelley doubts it. Tonight is the opening ceremony. I'll tell you more about who is here when I know mañana."

streaming coverage has begun ... have 2 courts going on but the transmission is very bad. No score, choppy movement, can't tell the score ???

avilas ... yes you should. From my daughters emails, shes having a great time ... I can't believe I never got into this ... ?? maybe they didn't have it then :)

well ... looks like either 1) they only have 2 cameras, 2) they have 8 cams but only 2 work ... or they are only using 2 courts :) Whatever the case, at least they (tried to) stream a 12yr old girls match ... which is the first girls match I've seen ... even since the JrNats ... seems they preferred to stream an exhibition match of 2 young pros, than actual JrNats matches ??? I really REALLY never knew the sport was so sexist until recently ... so I suppose I am to blame as well ... but there are Women's Pro matches at ProRacquetball.Net ... so I'm not half-bad :)

well. .. just glad the kids are having a good time down in the DR.

I think it that only two cameras work, or that the bandwith does not allow them to "properly" stream 2 cameras, much less 8

And yes, i know it is an awesome thing, I went last year... I will certainly not miss my last junior WC next year

there is only 1 camera working now ... but the streaming is much better and you can hear the score (in spanish:)

... darn, either the batteries ran out or someone bumped the camera ... dead!

... now have MEX vs GUA via Justin.TV ... Dela Rosa is playing. Wicked backhand.

OMG ... G16D dominates game 1 vs GUA ... then go down 8-0 in game 2 ... they switch (which really makes no sense other than on a piece of paper) ... lose game 2 anyway ... go down 9-2 in the breaker, and by some miracle of GOD pull it out 11-9!!!

I'm gonna have a heart attack ... maybe I should be a coach so I can have it earlier :) NAH ... it don't pay :)
