Yes, the spectators had the run of the place to some degree. It was an informal atmosphere, which was fun. Sort of the opposite extreme from WC05, where the cameras prevented the front row spectators from seeing ANYTHING during the finals. (There's some killer footage out there somewhere; hopefully these documentaries will come to fruition!)
If I ever organize a competition (and I've thought about it), I would like to have multiple cameras set up and rolling, like one per timer. Maybe an arrangement of tables in a square would prevent people from blocking the view. Then everyone would have a nice high quality closeup video of each solve, and any records would be well- documented. Chris Hunt did a great job of documenting the Dallas event last summer. I'm envisioning something at least that good. Chris --- In [email protected], Rune Wesström <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thank you for the excellent videos from the BLD competion. In the future, couldn´t you in due time tighten two ropes from your camera to the corners of the competition table? It´s a pity that such videos should be damaged by too curious spectators.
