Streamed matches and house boards

Following up on this with a story from Atlanta.

Atlanta had two streams: Stream 1 was the sponsor board (MK Gammon) and Stream 2 used a Generation I Gunduz set.

I'm not too keen on the GenI Gunduz set for a couple reasons - mainly that the GenI surface doesn't allow the checkers to slide well if they aren't fingerdished, so you kind of have to pick them up to move. I used to own one and sold it for that very reason! (Note that the GenII boards have an improved surface, so don't let this discourage you from buying one if you're considering)

My opponent and I requested to switch out the board to one of our Zavoral sets for our Masters semi-final match. The request was honored. The Final was to also be played on the Gunduz set since the Main final was on Stream 1. I requested to swap it out. I was told that it was too time-consuming to switch sets.

Finals opponent and I decided to grab lunch since we had time and figured it would be better to not stream the Main final and Masters final simultaneously anyway. We came back an hour or two later and played on Stream 1 with the fine sponsor board.

I felt kind of bad inconveniencing the streamer with the swap, but never hurts to ask.
