Please note that this information will be updated as it comes to us
Where can I watch the live broadcast?
The live broadcast can be seen here.
How much does it cost?
The current pricing depends on which day(s) you would like to watch, including a full event pass, visit here for up to the date pricing.
Will you broadcast all the fights?
Yes! Using the new “Multi Mat” technology, we will have available every mat throughout the event. Currently this event is scheduled to have 10-12 mats Thursday – Saturday and 8 mats on the final day, Sunday.
What is “Multi Mat” Technology
We recently upgraded our equipment and software to accommodate every user to select between all mats, as well as the main program with commentary! Once logged in, you will see buttons to determine what YOU want to watch!
Does this mean I can watch all the mats at once simultaneously?
Unfortunately for the consideration and available bandwidth for all viewers, you are limited to a couple of simultaneous mat views per account, this is to ensure a quality experience for all who have purchased the event. You will receive errors if you open multiple windows\browsers and try to watch more than 2-3 mats at once. However, you are free to select between the mats and the main commentary feed as many times as you would like within 1 browser window\tab!
How long will you be broadcasting?
This is a four day event, starting (estimated) 9am each day Thursday(March 29th) through Sunday(April 1st). Each days end time depends on amount of matches that need to take place for each day, but will typically end between 5-8PM. Log on early to make sure nothing is missed!
