2023 US Classic (Pre Meet and WAG Juniors Discussion)

[Sasha]

So, how does this work? Do the people with tickets get assigned to the evening session, or something? Or does one ticket allow access to both?

Both

 

[Sasha]

Ah, so it’s not going to make the event accessible to more people! Great news for those with tickets, though.

 

[irichluck21]

Yes.
Originally it was supposed to be two days. August 4-5 but now it includes Sunday in order to accommodate the large number of men.

So Aug 4 is Hopes and Junior Women
Aug 5 is senior women
Aug 6 is junior and senior men

The USAG announcement states that tickets that were purchased for the “sold out” women’s evening session will cover both sessions
The announcement also says that tickets purchased for the men’s competition on Saturday will be honored Sunday.

So, Peacock for the women’s session . . . Does anyone have recent experience watch gymnastics replays on Peacock? I know their figure skating coverage has a very limited viewing window and then competitions are removed. (I think it is a music rights issue.)

 

[Passion]

It says the whole broadcast will go on USAG’s YouTube after the meet ends, so it would probably be easier to just watch replays there.

Here’s last years full broadcast, for example:

 

[RedBirdie]

the Peacock broadcast will also be on CNBC, for those who have cable but not Peacock.

 

[ucrgirl]

Thanks. I missed that detail.

 

[Sasha]

Why did I choose that week to visit my parents!!

 

[tempest]

Why did I choose that week to visit my parents!!

Same! My grandmother does not have Internet and does not have a modern cable system so hopefully I can watch it on CNBC

 

[irichluck21]

Peacock didn’t do replays for Worlds, so just keep that in mind!
Originally they stated on Twitter that they would have replays and many people subscribed only to find out that NBC/Peacock changed that last minute.

Not sure if US Classic will have replays, they had the US Classic available on replay in 2022.

 

[Sasha]

Sounds like everything will be up on YouTube anyway though?

 

[Sasha]

My parents’ internet works fine, but the guilt tripping for not spending time with them is next level!

 

[irichluck21]

Sounds like everything will be up on YouTube anyway though?

Yes. But what will the timeline be?
Worlds was like two days after the fact.

Are y’all really gonna pretend you care more about your family than Simone Biles?

Peacock did change the policy in time for figure skating worlds. Replays still aren’t forever, but you could watch them up to a couple days after the event.

 

[ucrgirl]

Sports streaming really is in a dreadful state and relying on promised replays is dicey. I hardly ever get to watch gymnastics live so when I do get the chance, I’m almost too nervous to enjoy the experience.

(As an aside, my baseball team made the playoffs last year and we never could figure out the right configuration of MLB/ESPN/Fox/other network subscriptions to be sure we could watch. I’m still bitter.)

How did we go from the 1992 Triplecast to absolute crap. The technology is available.
