Hey everyone. I noticed that DNN is still very short of being able to cover this. Anyone remember how awesome VRDL was at Dust Devil? Australia has lots of great talent, and they're probably going to be bursting onto the main WFTDA scene in the near future (read: when ever money becomes no object... and I have a pony). Don't you want to see those great skaters skating now? Donate!

In related news... if we donated enough for one of the gifts, when should we expect to receive it?

Many hands make light work

Thanks for the extra push, N8! We've seen a real uptick in contributions to our TGSS coverage fund drive in the past day or so. It really does matter -- while we're intensely grateful to our sponsors and advertisers for their financial support, it's the direct, voluntary contributions from our audience that really powers major coverage endeavors like this one. They also help us to know that we're on the right track (because if we weren't, they'd dry right up!).

I'd love to tell you that our premium fulfillment will be very prompt this time around, but in all honesty, it's going to take us at least a few weeks after the event for the clothing items. We've lined up a very promising candidate for our Premium Fulfillment Manager position, but we haven't fully integrated her into the game plan yet. Once she's up to speed, we're hopeful that we'll no longer be embarrassingly sluggish on premium delivery.

This is a great time to point out that even though we provide those rewards for who are able to kick in a significant contribution, smaller amounts matter every bit as much. We know how many demands there are on the budgets of the derby faithful (which is why our funding model is based on voluntary contributions, not mandatory paywalls), and we truly believe (and have seen!) that we can move mountains if many people are in for a spoonful.

TGSS Bouts Archive.

by Devastatin_Dotti on 12 Jun 2012 05:05.

Just having trouble checking out the bouts on the archive for TGSS........Are they still being put in the archive.....?

TGSS Archived Bouts

by Video Bob on 12 Jun 2012 05:23.

There will be a bit of a delay getting all the bouts archived as Hurt & Mercy are flying back to the US at this very moment. My understanding is because of that it might be two or three days before all the bouts are up.

Will all bouts be archived

by helime on 13 Jun 2012 05:02.

Hey
Just wondering if all the bouts, including Match Up bouts, will be archived? We're really keen to see our Terrortorian bouts, hope the Match Ups go up!

Not all bouts...

by Mercy Less on 13 Jun 2012 16:27.

...DNN only shot the Tournament and Match Up bouts. Challenge bouts were not filmed. Please also note that due to technical difficulties we experienced on site, not all games will be perfect. There are a handful where the stream was cut during the end of a game, or the viewers experienced a poor stream quality, and our recordings are a post-stream record. We'll do our best to give you the best of what we've got, but we hope you'll understand that our no-budget community broadcast effort will be less than perfect. Thanks!

I'm just gonna say, I

by Number CruncHer on 13 Jun 2012 19:33.

I'm just gonna say, I unbelievably appreciate the ability to watch *any* sort of archived derby. It goes such a long way to improving myself as a referee, to be able to watch my calls and my skating post-game and analyse them. Any video is good video! Thank you so much for your hard working weekend.

Definitely in agreement!

by alexw on 15 Jun 2012 05:43.

It is just amazing to be able to watch these bouts back! Will there be some sort of announcement as and when they go up?

Incidentally, is there any news on the Dust Devil bouts? Im still dying to see the Arizona v Rocky game...

Enjoy!

More to come.
