Regarding tournament rules: I have a dream!--

1. Not enough people watch the streams because they haven't been properly promoted and announced and people only know, last-minute, when something will be streamed and who will be playing. Eventually this needs to be better organized and scheduled and people should be able to go to the channel and watch a match from the beginning that they might have missed and (and that way they can fast-forward if they want to);

2. We need to improve the quality of the streaming...as we will eventually have greater bandwidth, that will help, but we also need better equipment and dice and sound. Streaming with commentary should happen more, and that requires a special setup that each tournament director cannot afford, but the USBGF or all the directors together could pitch in for the best equipment and have it sent to each tournament with an expert who sets it up and runs it properly. Also, having xg on the screen next to the plays, as has been done, greatly adds to the streaming experience.

3. Even though we don't currently get a large number of people watching, the streamed matches eventually end up on YouTube or a site where people can watch them later and also there are records of PR's which also brings more interest to the game.
