If we can get Dimitri to broadcast from the Eiffel Towers , that would be great! But the technology is here to do some amazing things and we've just got to do them.

I'm far from Paris ! I'm more near Spain than Paris. In fact, my aera looks like south states in USA : Few people, corn fields, swamps, forest, lakes, ocean, and then the moutains and spanish frontier. Does it sound familiar to you ?

An overhead camera has to be there, filling the frame with the field, like billiards, u can see strategy from there, cant be blocked by the coaches, flagging the ball carrier, put a red flag on him or something to that effect. Players pointing out there intentions, scoreboards large enough displaying down distance ect., whos ever ref. giving critical info to the viewers, I must admit after awhile the games get to hard to follow

True. The 2 major problems are :
1)how do you do technically to broadcast a game with decent quality : you need computer knowledge. Some of us are not comfortable with that. The other thing is to have material needs : a good computer, decent camera, fast internet access.
2)problems directly the result of the 1) : make the games easy to follow, with score boards, good camera angles, light, sound.
I believe as you said we need some "protocols". And tutorials to explain how to do.
Personaly I'm experimenting some things. I had pretty good results but with much latency (about 1minute). A friend of mine also spoke me about Skype, wich is not a internet broadcast, but allows video conference. Can be another solution for private games.
The last solution I see is to use directly VLC to broadcast, using our PC as a server. So you don't have the "bottle neck" between your PC>internet tv distant server>broadcast. I'm pretty sure to make it, but it will be a way more complex I believe.
Anyway, I'm working in the dark and as soon as I 'll find something, I'll share.
