Sorry if that came across as dickish, was meant in fun.
Apologies again if I misjudged it horribly.

So was my reply, so don't worry. Jules says it made her laugh.

You can imagine how relaxed the atmosphere is in our house tonight.

Liam Lonsdale is streaming it live via Periscope.

Think it works on a web view etc rather than downloading the app coverage looks good so far - see yer!

tomtom · July 12, 2015, 12:12:32 pm

Liam's doing a great job on the commentary too. Waddage. He also says he's doing the finals too.

tomtom · July 12, 2015, 12:38:37 pm

Semis nearly over. Liam is doing a great job filming and commentating on this - as well as answering viewers questions. Footage is perfectly watchable. Follow via one of the links above or via @liamlonsdale on both Twitter and Periscope iirc.

Great to see this when the organisers don't seem to have managed a stream...

andymarshll · July 12, 2015, 02:40:42 pm

What time will the finals be?

Stu Littlefair · July 12, 2015, 02:41:55 pm

15:30

Watched a bit of the semis - wall and problems looked ace, plus amusing commentary from Percy. Nearly as good as the caving tunnel!

Duma · July 12, 2015, 04:41:00 pm

periscope is blocked at work

anyone got any updates?

205Chris · July 12, 2015, 05:11:49 pm

Sounds like Ty has just won the Mens

205Chris · July 12, 2015, 05:23:15 pm

And Shauna for the Women

Duma · July 12, 2015, 06:24:35 pm

Cheers Chris

tomtom · July 12, 2015, 07:37:00 pm

Well the BMC did themselves proud (sarcasm emoticon) with their tweet of the winners "1st Shauna Corset". Now deleted it would seem.

Seems bizarre that the only (excellent) streaming (or anything for that matter) coverage was by Liam done off the cuff..

It's almost as if they didn't want anyone to know about it!

cofe · July 12, 2015, 08:26:38 pm

Great stuff from Liam.

Great stuff from Liam.

Absolutely. You've a commentary career there Liam - just the right balance of interest, description and humour for me.

PipeSmoke · July 12, 2015, 09:28:59 pm

Is their somewhere to watch highlights or anything? Ty is a beast

tomtom · July 12, 2015, 09:42:19 pm

If you get the Periscope app and follow @liamlonsdale it archives all his transmissions (or whatever they're called!).. So they should all be there.. Inc finals.

I hardy ever watch the comps but found myself at home this afternoon and noticed the link on here to Liam's periscope stream so had a look.
Awesome job Liam! Good commentary, engaging and as good as the world cup streams I've seen (admittedly only 2 or 3 over the last couple of years). What I don't get though is how the IFSC appear unable to do any better than a bloke with a phone! And are they wasting a shit-load of money employing whoever are their media consultants?

What I also don't get is how a keen talented guy with a phone can be the only available source of coverage of the country's premier bouldering competition. Can anyone enlighten me why there appears to be no support or interest from the BMC (if it is them who organise the national champs?) in providing coverage? Given it appears that decent coverage can be achieved for the price of a tripod and a pay-as-you-go contract it seems odd not to bother.
