Great news from the games site:
The 2010 CrossFit Games Finals are less than 10 days away. If you don’t have your tickets yet, it’s still not too late to be part of CrossFit Games history. If you can’t be there in person, all is not lost: the Games will be streamed to the web in real time via our free live webcast.
This production will be unlike anything CrossFit fans have seen before. You’ll get over 30 hours of live HD coverage and analysis (in SD if you don’t have sufficient bandwidth to stream full HD). Three JumboTrons and a dozen 55″ plasmas will broadcast the feed throughout the Home Depot Center to optimize spectator experience. Thirteen different cameras will bring you live action from every single heat of every single event, putting you right on the arena floor with the athletes. Slow-motion instant replays and highlight reels will showcase our sport as the footage is broadcast to fans all over the world.
You will be there when Event Director Dave Castro reveals the events one hour before they occur. We’ll also take you behind the scenes into the athlete staging and warmup areas. You’ll see candid interviews with the athletes, teams, coaches and special guests, plus regular debates and discussions at our Analyst Desk hosted by Pat Sherwood, Josh Everett and Caity Matter Henniger.
CrossFit is working with NEP Screenworks and Level3 to bring you the highest quality production possible. We now have a world-class team experienced in covering the highest quality sporting events and bringing them to the web. NEP has a mountain of broadcast experience, and CrossFit will be utilizing a full production truck that’s part of the fleet that delivers X-Games, NFL and Major League Baseball broadcasts. Level3 brought the Superbowl and Olympics to the web. The sweat, emotion and drama of the CrossFit Games have never been seen like this before.
Join us for a 30min live Preview Show at 6pm PDT on Thursday, July 15. Full coverage will commence on Friday, July 16 around 8:45am. We’re just putting the finishing touches on the new player. In a couple days, we’ll give you the links to the player and the updated viewing schedule. It’s going to be epic!
