Thanks for having these streams! Overall the quality is good.

Doubles match between MCG/Covlin and Koca/Kettler

The stream for this match was turned off by your operator at the tournament right at the end of the match. This is a bad practice. Ustream adds delays to the match, either for ads, or else due to Ustream's own streaming problems. Even though the match had ended in Texas, many Ustream viewers were still a few moves away from the end. I, for one, never saw the end of the match. That's because the Ustream feed shuts down immediately when the stream is cut off by your operator in Texas.

Best practice is to leave the stream open for a few minutes after the end of the match.

If the players are amenable, you could even have some fun by setting up one or two of the tough positions from the match, and ask them to discuss why they made the plays they did.

Thanks again.

Mike
