This stream looks great! I am curious how you avoided having glare anywhere on the board. Maybe the lighting is more harsh in playing rooms around America? I really do not see a difference between the quality of these and the videos I broadcast recently, but I am probably biased lol.

A few things I've observed when streaming. The internet connection is the thing that generally makes or breaks the stream. Without a connection that can support the stream you are pushing, you're screwed. Next to that is the camera quality, and how you broadcast. I use a hue HD webcam that has a 1.3 mega pixel lens and adjustable focus. It can give up to a full 1920 by 1080 picture, not that there is ever an internet connection that can use it. What I mean by how you broadcast is that if you use software like Adobe's Flash Media Live Encoder you can control your frame rate, size, bitrate and other things that I haven't thought to touch. This software also records your stream as you are doing it. This is really nice because if the stream goes down you still have a copy of the match. FMLE also connects directly to your ustream channel very easily.
