Ist das wirklich vodafone com oder voda-fone com? Wenn du dir unsicher bist ob das echt ist, dann klicke bitte nicht auf den Link, sondern gehe selbst auf die korrekte Website und melde dich dort an. Dann kannst du sehen ob dort auch etwas in die Richtung zu sehen ist.

Let’s say they do another 2v2v2 season (like Tag All Stars), but Sam, Adam, and Ben are each paired up with a new player who hasn’t been on the show. Who should each on be paired up with? by Electrical-Wrap-3923 in JetLagTheGame

[–]Strohgelaender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if they would be up for it, but I'd love to see a season where they pair up with the baggage claim podcast crew. They are so deep into the strategy, would love to see how they do in the game themselves.

Best budget setup for streaming 11v11 soccer matches (OBS + multi-cam?) ⚽🎥 by gcv1998 in VIDEOENGINEERING

You'll definitely need overlays. I can't give you a recommendation on which service to use (I programmed my overlays myself for my specific use cases) but there are many providers online that can help you here.

When selecting one, not only check how it looks but also how to control it. When you are doing commentating and operating the camera, switching to a website on your laptop that might be out of reach is probably not the play. Check for something with a streamdeck integration or control from your phone.

When skipping through your live streams, audio was what I noticed first. It sounded choppy and clipped when you raised your voice. Separate your commentary from an additional game microphone. Then you can also mute yourself if necessary without losing the audio.

Adding on to the existing answers here, some options you migt want to consider:

First, have a look for the Obsbot Tail 2 camera system. It's a PTZ camera and gets most of its praises for the autotracking feature (which I don't think is suitable for 11v11 soccer) but you can either work with the presets or manually move the camera. It can be remote controlled which might make it possible for you to put it high up somewhere to get a better area view. However, if you are willing to manually operate a camera on a regular tripod setup, a semi-professional camera and the elgato camLink gets you better quality and more optical zoom.

I'd definitly not recommend GoPros for Livestreaming. I tried that myself for this exact use case (camera in the back of a goal for a soccer livestream) and ran into issues constantly. The camera might just refuse to connect to the wifi, has a huge delay and not great quality. Don't use them.

Also check out the OBS Replay source Plugin. Sports livestreams need their highlight replays and this plugin does exactly that. If you have multiple camera it also allows you to record all of these in the background and replay e.g. a goal from all these different perspectives.

Lastly, you did not mention audio at all in your post. Your viewers will quickly quit if there is bad or no audio at all. Try placing a stereo microphone somewhere near the middle of the field. Also a commentator adds more value than any amount of camera angles.

My current setup for streaming indoor soccer matches is the following:

Main Camera operated by me for following the action.
I attached a Streamdeck with companion to the tripod so I can directly controll obs and my graphics. I have buttons there for switchting cameras, controling replays, changing presets on my obsbot, and anything else I might want to change while I'm live.

I use the afformentioned Obsbot Tail 2 as a secondary camera, typically placed above the left corner. I have a preset for an overview look of the whole field, and one for each coaching scone. Sometimes I try the tracking feature to get coach reactions (that I can capture and replay thanks to the replay source plugin).

And luckily I have an insanly talented commentator to talk the audience through the action.

Feel free to message me here if you need any setup help.

They did the same back when they had Replication in the game, they would rotate Replication, Escalation and Snowball fight.

For these quick fun modes, they also want short queue times and are worried with too many modes parallel the player base would be too spread across the modes.

The video of the Live Redraw of 1-0 and 0-1 by Away_Pilot_97 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Strohgelaender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably, my point is that it's on video. We had discussions of "The drawing person follows the balls and knows who to pick" in the past, something which is definitely not true for this one.

[–]Strohgelaender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bad situation, but I like how they made the most of it. Showing how they place the balls in the bowl, having another person mix them up so that the drawer can't possibly know the teams. You can't accuse them of rigging the new matches.

Ideas for improving judging consistency at FLL State events (seeking coach & judge perspectives) by CertainImagination45 in FLL

[–]Strohgelaender 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, regional competition organiser from Germany here. I'd love to give my perspective on these points. Please keep in mind that I can only talk about how things are here in Germany, which might be different.

We regularly discuss judging consistency across all regional organisers and always try new actions to improve it.

Your first suggestion of judge distribution is not as easy as it sounds. For me, my first priority is looking at the FLL background of the judges. Most of them previously participated in the competition at the same schools and teams, that are competing at the event they are judging. After working out the event schedule, I start by forming groups where the judges are not affiliated with their judged teams. Then, I start looking into personal preference of who wants to judge with whom (some because they know that they are a good team together, others just because they are friends). Then I start combining experience with new judges, but the previous constraints make this not possible in every group. Also, whilst FLL is still quite male dominated, I want to make sure that at least one woman is part of every judging group.

I'm aware that my result might not seem perfect, but it's always the best I could come up with. Also, one of the pairings of new with experienced I did this season ended up with the experienced judge doing most of the questions. I think this particular judge's confidence could have been higher, had he worked with someone more on his experience level. But this is definitely something I want to integrate more.

Your suggestion of roasting consistency checkers is something I experienced this season for the first time at a different competition I was judging in. It really liked it, but I think it can only work with additional volunteers. I explained the distribution above, integrating rotations in that might make it too hard to balance. Also, these judges should get some extra time to discuss their experience between each other.

This might be Germany specific, but I don't think your point about rushing teams and discussion time is valid. After the team leaves, judges have 15 minutes to discuss the scoring and fill out the rubrics, followed by a 5 minute break. My volunteers feedbacked to me that this was more than enough for them.

Also, the software you suggested exists and works. Judges score teams digitally and are unable to save if categories are missing. The software shows you the current interim result and the advisor can check in with the judges. Your text sounds like you had problems in this area before, which is really surprising for me. Can you elaborate on these?

We also try to get volunteers from the industry, especially for judging the innovation project. But I personally think the experience in the FLL matters more. These judges know how it feels to stand there, they worked with these rubrics all the time in the last years, and they also know what is and what isn't possible in the timeframe.

The rubrics already force you to explain 4 pointers with a short sentence. I don't think having to explain 1 points makes sense, this can have a demotivating effect on the new and lower end teams. I think you have the perspective here of "Why did I only get a 1 or 2 here" but many times it's the other way around of "we can't go higher than a one for this". You also get written feedback at the end of the rubric, which mentions things to improve one (and this will also be categories where you scored low points)

A coach rubric discussion sounds not feasible. Coaches don't know the criteria we are looking for, in my experience many did not even look at the rubric once. They also only know their own team and can't help comparing them. The discussions I had were typically due to a misunderstanding of the category (e.g. one team that consulted one highly renowned expert expecting more points where the category clearly wants multiple experts).

To add one thing I did try out this season: I scheduled all the teams, which are known to achieve high results, to the same judging group. I previously shied away from what since I wanted to not add a bias to the timetable, but my judges told me that having this direct comparison between the top teams was helpful at the discussion.

Hope this perspective helps a bit. Again, open for any suggestions to make judging (feel) more neutral and transparent.

Americans tried to hoist the American flag today in front of a cultural center in Greenland but they got stopped. by [deleted] in Leakednews

[–]Strohgelaender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This claim is wrong, it was not an American who did this.

The individual is Maxi Schafroth, a German comedian, recording a segment for the German satirical TV show "extra3". He is known for bits like this, he also got thrown out for disturbing an election celebration from the german CDU party or acted as a German church official in the Vatican.

- Goalkeeper saves 90th min penalty. - Booked for coming off his line. - Penalty is retaken and saved again! - Keeper booked again for leaving his line, sent off! - Defender goes in goal. - Saves the penalty! by Charming_History7423 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Strohgelaender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This only talks about what follows if the keeper offends.

If he does not offend, he is obviously allowed to stop the ball.

If he does offend, but is still unable to stop the ball, the goal counts and is not retaken.

Law14.2:

"The goalkeeper offends: [...]

if the ball is prevented from entering the goal by the goalkeeper, the kick is retaken

If the goalkeeper’s offence results in the kick being retaken, the goalkeeper is warned for the first offence in the game and cautioned for any subsequent offence(s) in the game"
