I am in favour of broadcasts.

They enable me to see when a tournament I have registered for are about to start and they enable me to see when vugraph is about to start, they also allow me to advertise a tourney I am about to run (I am not in a position to pre book my tourneys days in advance), they are usually done on the spur of the moment, when I have some free time.

They also allow me to advertise when I decide to host a team match. I am not that lucky, that, I have lots of friends that invite me to play in team games, so it is a nice change when I see someone advertising for a team match, I can respond and hopefully I can get to play a nice stable game.

I find Udays broadcasts are a benefit, he always seems to have the fore-thought to advertise maintenance coming up.

Playing pick ups in the main lounge (table hoppers) is more frustrating than the broadcasts. I prefer to play team games and I like tournements, sometimes a director adds a tournament and starts it within a 30 minute timeframe, if it were not for broadcasts, I may not know that one I would like to play in is about to start, as I do not check tourney times every 10 or 15 minutes.

Hi,
I'm confused (easily) surely only yellows have broadcast rights, are you talking about chat to lobby?

Wayne:
The normal people can chat to lobby, which will be heard by all the people who are not playing and have not the lobby chat turned off in profile.
Broadcast chat can be done only by yellows, and is heard by ALL.
