Probably an effort to avoid people dropping their DGN subscription because they know they can consume the coverage faster and on the same day from GK.
Same day post production coverage isn't common, so maybe a random blip where the situation wasn't clearly explained in the media agreement?
From the competition manual:
3.04 Dress Code
A. All violations of the Dress Code Policy shall be considered a Courtesy Violation
under Section 8.12 of the PDGA Official Rules of Play.
It would be interesting to know if the caddy wore a sleeveless shirt the next round.
Any idea if DGN allows you to rewind during the live stream? Say if I tune in live 30 minutes late and want to catch the beginning? I've only watched final day live coverage on YouTube and you can do it there. I wanted to think at one point you couldn't, but it was said to be a future feature update by whoever produces the software they currently used.
Or is the live footage available immediately archived same day, aka I wanted to watch the FPO morning round yesterday evening?
I agree part of it is probably not wanting to lose DGN subscriptions, but they probably also don't want to lose the same day viewers to GK Pro. Number of viewers is definitely important because that's what they pitch to ESPN2, CBS Sports, or whoever for those deals. They'd also use that when searching for larger corporate sponsorship deals.
Could also be some other explanation, but who knows. Same day post production coverage isn't common, so maybe a random blip where the situation wasn't clearly explained in the media agreement?
You can rewind but it just shuts off if you aren't caught up to the live action by the time the stream ends. Then you have to wait like 6hrs before its reposted in the archive.
I wonder how this would work during a tournament. A Courtesy Violation is a warning for the first time and a penalty for each subsequent violation during the round.
So, someone in the group or the TD calls a Courtesy Violation for the male caddy wearing a sleeveless shirt on hole 1. Hole 2, the caddy is still wearing the shirt, that should be a penalty. So, if the shirt isn't changed during the round that would be 17 penalty strokes.
Would that really happen? I'd think the 'reasonable/common sense' solution would be to tell the player and caddy that the caddy "can't wear a sleeveless shirt and if your caddy continues to wear one in following rounds you will be penalized a stroke a hole."
But the rules really don't permit the 'reasonable/common sense' solution.....so I'd guess no one called a courtesy violation, but may have said something "in private" to the player and/or caddy. It would be interesting to know if the caddy wore a sleeveless shirt the next round.
**** PDGA A-TIER DRESS CODE WILL BE ENFORCED FOR SPECTATORS**
I also noticed this for the Eagle's crossing GK skins match:
I never realized there was a dress code for spectators and I'm pretty sure i've see shirtless bros in most tourney footage this year - including several last week and most notably american shirts + shirtless crazy guy running around after THE SHOT at worlds.
so how many of these supposed dress codes are actually in effect and enforced?
Anybody have some info on why the live stream isnt starting as advertised
If you're referring to the time on the DGN page, i think that is central time. Coverage starts at 5pm est with the lead card starting at 5:30 est... give or take since they are coming in halfway through the round.
Yea, I think there was some conflicting info out there. I thought it wasnt supposed to start til today at 4:30 central but then I saw that it was starting today at 3:00 central. And now I cant find where I saw 3. Must be going crazy.
They can't get cell signal for a lot of the front 9. They mention that you might not see anything from it.
I'm a little confused with the Disc Golf Network coverage. The lead card is through 5 holes, but they're not showing them at all.
