Count me in.
By the way, are there any technical issues we might need to straighten out beforehand?

Good point... what do you have in mind?
For context, I use zoom a lot for work, but only for work. I have all the matches pulled up on my desktop and I plan to share my screen with everyone for each match (quality is at least "good" on each I think).
Everyone will need to sign up for and download zoom in advance and have at least their computer with a mic working (preferably camera). I would not recommend trying to do this with your phone personally.
Is there anything in particular people should consider or we should think about, NL?

The time should work for me.
I would suggest cameras should be optional to prevent potential lags from excess bandwidth usage.

Yeah don't have your cameras on when you're sharing screen of a match. I've done it before it creates too much lag for the match to be watchable.

I downloaded Zoom and set up an account. My camera works fine, but I can't get my microphone to work no matter what I do. I may end up having to use my phone, at least for this go-round. For those of you who intend to participate and haven't downloaded Zoom yet, I recommend doing so well in advance to see if there are any kinks that need to be worked out.

Dammit, I don't think I'm going to make it - I had something already arranged with friends in the UK via Zoom and completely missed that we're only 4 hours behind them instead of 5 now because of the clocks changing. Hopefully I'll join you next time, though. Hope it goes well!

I’ve only done zoom on my phone, but my wife has used it on the computer so I’ll be giving that a shot, I’m sure it’ll work out. Talk to everyone soon!

I've never done Zoom, but I'm (pretty) sure that it's easy enough to work through as a beginner. I'm going to try to get everything pre-watched this morning (Found everything on YT and on my comp but the 85 match, so I'm almost set) and then try to just enjoy things without thinking analytically on the second go round. Can't wait to get to this!

Zoom is pretty intuitive. When I have shared my screen for class or in meetings I have never had trouble with lag when up to 15-20 people are using video, but this is a little different. There is an easy video mute option so if we do run into trouble we can always mute pretty quickly/easily. We can work it all out on the fly. It shouldn't be too difficult.

I created the zoom link and sent it out. I added you, marksman, just in case something changes in your schedule.
If I missed anyone (if you didn't receive a message from me with the invite and you were planning on joining) let me know.

I don't know about yall, but i think the first go was fun. Getting to know everyone a little bit and watching some good matches, it was an overall success. I'm sure we will pick this up again and next time someone else can put the matchlist together.
For those who came out... thanks. For those who couldn't... hope to see you next time.

Yup. I hate to not say anything new, but I feel the same way. I had a great time, and can't wait to do it again! Thanks to Cap for hosting and everyone else who came out!
