I don’t know! Just a couple hours west a Moto event called Mini Major pulled 1100 entries. Nothing but young kids on minis. I think we may see a decent crowd.
Swap Moto race series is 600+ at every race.

Ill be there and know a few of the announcers, If someone wanted to send a Livefeed setup I could maybe set it up looking out from the judges booth. Ain't gonna be able to babysit it though, would need to be set and forget.
A scaled back event should have scaled back entry fees. Its over $300 per class with that kind of fees you would expect complete coverage.

You still have to pay all the overhead and insurance........... They still have the same number of course marshalls, Scorers, Flagman. Gate Starter, Tech Director, Race Director....................................................................
True but they cut the London Bridge awards and live stream as well as other event aspects. Its going to be 45 classes with 4 on the line except some of the weekend classes.

That my point, they have to cut, There are not going to be any racers from out of the country unless they were already here in the states. That is a huge loss in revenue. So, They have cut what they had to I guess.
Rumor was they wouldn't be allowed back if they canceled this year, so they had to do something.
That said, its so pathetic to me that Scott F is such a cheap bastard he wont do the absolute minimum to have some live streaming. The sad thing is the IJSBA is so antiquated, (somebody said welcome to 1999?), yet this is still the World Championships for flatwater freestyle. Racers all say this is nothing more than a regional event now, which I agree with. Its not World Finals for racing, but for Freestyle, its absolutely the top event in the world. In fact freestyle is the only thing keeping the event alive in my opinion.
I think you guys will get to see it via Facebook live, only because people are willing to do it. It wont be great angles etc., but you'll get to see something.

You believe every rumor you hear, Each year "WF is moving to Texas, Florida, Havasu will not let them come back".......
The company that did the Live Feed was from Brazil. They could not make the trip.......... hmmmmmmmmm borders closed maybe?
IJSBA was streaming Live damn near all day yesterday and so was many others to help out............
Freestyle is a side show to the WF. The stands damn near empty half the time when Freestyle is going on.
I go to finals every year, and getting a seat in the stands for pro freestyle is pretty difficult. I dont know what you're watching.
