I can understand why some of these matches were never transcribed. Some of the videos didn't include information on which player was on top/bottom so I have had to find clues in the video and then locate other videos from the same tournament where one of the players were playing. Clues include jewelry, watches, clothing among others.

In other cases there were no scorecard visible so the match length was unknown. Setting the match length to 25 and then when you have transcribed the match export it to text and change it to what the length must have been (and editing the rest to match) saved the day in a couple of cases.

I see that providing this information has improved a lot in the videos uploaded by USBGFbroadcast but I guess this could still be a problem for privately recorded videos.

Including top/bottom player info and match length in the description when uploading a video will go a long way to prevent these kind of transcription problems.

Best regards,
