" 23-game complete tournament access costing $25.00." isn't that bad, but I wonder what the quality of the feed will be.<br><br>I think I will stick to the 4 games on FSN<br> <p></p><i></i>

Not Terrible

Post by EREmpireStrikesBack »

It wasn't too shabby at all last year. Commentary didn't have the greatest knowledge, but they kept it light. Don't times of the 23 games overlap though? So you aren't truely getting 23 games for $25?<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>Elk River AA State Champions- 2001 Boys & 2004 Girls</p><i></i>

I didn't like the quality, it wasn't too bad but it had some of the web glitches I personally hate, but if you buy the package its cheap enough to maybe make it worthwhile. <p></p><i></i>

With having to pay this year, they might have stepped up the quality of the broadcasts/not as many people will be viewing so it will go smoother. Both are possibilities<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>Elk River AA State Champions- 2001 Boys & 2004 Girls</p><i></i>
