On some weekends there are 10+ matches live on Vugraph. Some of these matches are important only regionally and not interesting for general public or international-english-commentators.

Would it be possible to change the kibitzing policy in the Vugraph Theatre?
Allow everybody to comment if some (or all) of these conditions are true:
* Less than 100 kibitzers
* No registered vugraph commentators
* Vugraph operator sets the match to be "open for everyone"
* something else

Thanks

A very good idea. A similar thing happens in JEC Vs stars matches. The comments by kibs adds to the pleasure of watching these matches. When I used to be a vugraph operator I used to make an announcement that anyone who wants to commentate may ask me and I would allow that person to commentate. I do not know if such a procedure is till possible as I have not done vugraph for a long time.

I think it's a reasonable idea but I disagree that the JEC matches are a good example. Of course there are more than 100 kibitzers and a multi-national audience, which is different to OP's proposal, but I've stopped watching the JEC matches because of the banal and inane chatter.

Yes, it is, although I'm not sure the instructions we provide for vugraph organizers and operators explain how to do it.

You can also ask a Yellow to give you commenting privileges.
