Web address if it is.

Would be very cool indeed.

And if I remember correctly .... the first announcement of these championships mentioned "thousands of dollars worth in prizes". Any news about that?

That would be great to watch races live on the net.

Complete with commentary? It would be difficult perhaps but for sure it would be great.

We would very much like to broadcast the final races of each championship, and we are talking to a few organizations that can do that properly in hopes of making that happen.

I'd also like to do a "tape-delay" broadcast, but no promises at this time.

Right now I will make sure to have live-scoring and team speak available for those that which to 'spectate'. I could probably even allow the odd one or two person to spectate on the server (just ask me).

And how about those prizes Tim?

I quote the annoucement of January the 28th of this year:

All events in the playoff series will be conducted by live Stewards and broadcast across the World Wide Web. Thousands of dollars in sponsorship prizes will be awarded.

Maybe Tim's in a credit crunch. He hasn't answered and it's been asked twice!
