In less short, I also agree with Michael and Stick.
However, sitting our lazy asses behind a desk and being bored doesnīt exactly describe the duties of a TD, which are plenty and many. The day players will learn to read brochures, look up the brackets and ask less silly questions such as "what time tomorrow?", "when is the conso?", "how many points is the match?", "do we have to use clocks?", "at what time is dinner break?"", etc., TDs can be even more bored and out of despair, simply find nothing better to do than posting brackets. (I was once so lazy to count the number of times I have been asked "what time tomorrow?" during one single tournament weekend and reached 137 without counting the same question my staff was asked).
Let me also remind you that not all existing formats of tournaments are available as software solution to put online.
And yes, some tournaments are under-staffed and some venues donīt offer the internet connection necessary to provide the live coverage.
Also, some TDs are born in the first half of the last century and not exactly computer experts and savvy.
I am not surprised to see a +1 coming from Miran. I canīt wait to see one of his wonderful well-attended and amply advertized tournaments taking place with added money, no rake, pro staff, equipment provided, live coverage, internet broadcast and all the rest, yet profitable.
I can only speak for myself and be sure that I do what I can whenever and wherever itīs possible to provide that service too. And no Miran, this will not affect the rates.
