Kent, OH — January 24, 2007 — TRZ Sports Services, Inc. announced today that it has been contracted to provide live internet video streaming of the University Athletic Association (UAA) Swimming Championships. The Swimming Championships will be hosted by Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland from February 8th through February 11th. Fans will be able to access the live men’s and women’s championships through a link on the UAA web site at http://www.uaa.rochester.edu/ as well as through the Case Western Reserve web site at http://www.case.edu/athletics/varsity/. To view the live internet video webcast, viewers must have windows media player installed on their computer and must connect to the internet using a high speed (DSL, Cable Modem) connection. The entire event will be available to fans at no charge.

Although i have no affiliation to the UAA, this is awesome and i will be viewing, without a doubt. I hope this leads to more meets being broadcast, without charge, online. I would love it if NCAAs were broadcast, but i would guess the NCAA would have a say against that, for no real reason.

This is fantastic. My initial question would be who is fronting this cost, but i don’t suppose it’s cost will affect the teams in the UAA directly. The UAA is a talented conference, and it’ll be exciting to be able to watch Emory, Washington University, and NYU duke it out.

Awesome. I love whenever I can watch live swimming video, either online or on TV. Summer nationals in Irvine had this last year, and I loved it. The quality was excellent and the commentary was good as well. Hopefully the video quality of this will be as good.

this is awesome. now i can watch UAA’s. well, i think ill be in vegas, but i should be able to catch thursday and hopefully they keep it up there for download afterwards so i can watch the other days when i get back.

This is great! Why go to Vegas when you can go to Cleveland and see the UAA’s live?

yeah, it was a tough decision but i went with vegas.

This appears to be a direct link… http://www.teamline.cc/sportpage?teamcode=1015&eventcode=38

I might be the only one trying, but this isn’t working for me, anyone else?

It’s not working for me either. I saw it said somewhere that they would be broadcasting only the finals, but then it said somewhere at the sight that broadcast would begin at 10 a.m. I don’t really know what the deal is.

i think it is only finals….

I think the “live stats” tab is working and giving the printed results.

It’s up, but the cameraman doesn’t know a lick of swimming. He leaves the camera motionless, thereby missing all the action at the walls inc. takeovers, and then doesn’t show the times afterwards. I called the company to see if they could change things.

THEY HAVE! He now shows times afterwards. The power of a phone call…

that was you? nice….

Did Rodjam really split a 24.64? and they cant find a backstroker to split faster than a 26.9?

26.94 24.64 24.46 20.37

no that was an electronic error
Swartz has already been 25.7 this year
by watch he was about ~25.9 not 26.9, so Rodjom only went ~25.6

any dissatisfied with the commentary or lack there of?

What happened to Dukes from CMU? He’s listed in the Top Times for backstroke but doesn’t appear to be at the meet.

Carnegie Mellon another dq in the 2 medley last night. IT looks they would have been about 1:33 high.

1:34.52 – according to the splits on the results page

The Carnegie Flyer had himself a huge meet 49.8 in the 100 and 1:49.7 in the 200. Pretty awesome

Yea, I’d like to give big ups to my man Dave for a great weekend. A couple really nice swims from a classy guy. That 1:49 was just smoking. Look out for him in Houston. I’d like to say no one saw this coming, but this guy has gotten better every year and works really hard to get there. So congrats on a UAA record and good luck in TX.
