2016 US Intl FS Classic Pairs SP

MasterB · Sep 15, 2016

Why can't they have better streaming? I have been a member the last 6 years and it wasn't until last season that I began to experience poor streaming. I think this is it for me, I will not renew my subscription next year. I will just have to wait for it to be put up on youtube.

AND THANK YOU MEAGAN FOR SUPPORTING US!

Sumire and Francis started out so startlingly good! My first few thoughts were, "wow these guys are great, too bad he'll never get Japanese citizenship so this partnership is doomed". Followed by "these guys are too good for this competition".

Then, the massive, MASSIVE mistakes.

New thought: "these guys are not too good for this competition".

The beginning of the Japanese team's routine was good and thought good for them and then they missed the throw and the lift came down and it was oops, sorry I jinxed you.

Wow, are you reading my mind?

What is USFSA's contract with IN? Is there anyway they would ever go with another company?

This is awful. The programs are completely incomprehensible.

Even Meagan Duhamel is pissed

Let this be my prayer: that no one ever skate to that zzzzz song ever again.

samson · Sep 15, 2016

welp two US pairs teams are skating to The Prayer this year. I have to say the music choices from these five pairs seemed absurdly out of touch and low in taste

Early season pairs events at altitude scare me...they are all out of breath and it was only the short!!

I have no idea but I really, really wish they would. Is there anyone truly happy with it? If the stream worked even reasonably well, I think it's a killer deal, but with it totally unreliable... I mean, if the JGP can do it for free 10 times better, we need IN because... why?

100% agree... there is no need for the way it is set up.

If they are going to charge, they need to step up their game a lot. They need to offer something more than what youtube can offer.

I know. I have no problem with the USFSA trying to make a little money- lord knows they're not exactly rolling in the dough. But YouTube even has a pay per view service now that I'm sure is MUUUUUCH more reliable than IN, AND they wouldn't have to pay for their own website/servers/ect.

I pay for IN because it's what's available and I'm lucky enough to be able to afford it. But the quality is really not acceptable for the price. The video player they use is out of date and difficult to use, and the actual streaming is often unwatchable. I usually don't get to watch competitions live, so I mostly use the on demand video, which tends to work much better than the live streaming, but whenever I'm able to watch events live (like tonight), I'm appalled at the quality of the stream.

I'm glad that my renewal somehow was half price this year because I'm really tempted to not renew, especially if I have to pay full price. Videos are always available on YouTube. I usually prefer to watch the competitions as a whole, without spoilers, which is harder to do on YouTube, but IN isn't giving me a lot of reasons to keep buying their product.

Exactly. This is why I don't even know why the USFS bothers with its own thing. It's got to be much more expensive. (Also - I hate their scoring pages. They're clunky, don't refresh right and don't list PCS/TES. Wish they'd use the normal ones like the rest of the world. Why reinvent the wheel?)

I really don't mind paying for a streaming service if it works but IN has been absolutely awful for the past two seasons, so I'm wondering if I'll even bother next year.

Jackie Wong is polling whether the stream worked for pairs

karne · Sep 15, 2016

If the stream worked, how'd Paris and Matthew go?

Not well. She fell on throw and the UR 2A. The lift was honestly scary. I don't think he's big enough (tall or built wise) to lift her.

ruffledgrouse · Sep 15, 2016

And just when you think the stream miiiiiiiight be fixed in time for the men.....

n....n

no....
