With a board-op: I load a special log for the sporting event, and then have the 
board-op return the system to the normal log in the appropriate place.   

 
No Board-op: I will have a timed event that loads/plays the sports log.   I 
will fill the end of the end of the sports playlist with programming and then 
near the top of the hour I will load the main playlist which has a timed event 
once an hour and everything gets sorted out.  

 
Another thing I’ve toyed with is a second Rivendell machine just for games.  
The “sports machine” is put on the air automatically using an external 
switcher, while the normal air machine continues like nothing happened.  When 
the game is over, the switcher puts the main machine back on the air.

Subject: [RDD] Running live events, advice sought

 
Looking into moving our cluster from AudioVault to Rivendell (owner is balking 
at paying another $10,000 for the next “upgrade”), and I’m trying to figure out 
a way to best manage live sporting events from satellite.

 
My current thought would be loading the sporting event into Aux1 and keeping 
the main format in Main. At the appropriate hard time, a macro cart would run 
which would load and start the game in Aux1, turn on the appropriate audio and 
triggers, and run the game from there. Then when the appropriate time comes, 
restart the main log from wherever the last hard timed event would have put us 
in the format and unload Aux1.

 
Right now it looks like this might not be feasible, since to segue from one 
cart to the next during the breaks in the game would require LiveAssist, but if 
we stay in that mode then the main log will just start automatically playing 
when the next hard event comes up.

 
How do those of you doing live sports in Rivendell manage it?
