Default Let's start off with a few simple things

1. A Laptop would be the best type of computer to use because of the mobility.

2. A webcam with good or great resolution. Preferably a 1080p camera. Microsoft have them and can be found at Best Buy.

3. Once you got the webcam, load the software to it.

4. I have RCAM setup or ReggieCam. It's a robot I created to go up and down the field but a simple tripod would suffice. Preferably a small tripod that you can put up on your table where your gameboard is at.

5. Get a USTREAM account and create your own station. My station is called the NFLGTSL.

6. The brand of MFCA Solitaire Coaches Broadcast Network can be formed. I will speak with Wolf about a logo for this.

7. I think a guy like Ed Morgans would be great for programming director. Ed is a forward thinker and could definitely keep the ball moving on this. I could not do it because of the thousand of other things I am doing, not to say Ed is not!

8. Once the accounts are establish, we could easily help each other test by being guinea pigs and watching snippets of what each league is doing.

9. Some competition coaches do not like to acknowledge or give credit to this area of football but we've got an opportunity to lead the way in Internet TV. MFIT or miniature football internet television can be a mainstay of the hobby and has ways of recruiting other coaches to the lineup as well. Many marvelous things can happen because of this area.

10. Once we've got coaches locked in to do this, thus we create a bit of history in the game that competition leagues will be forced to follow.

11. So the first step is simple, go to Best Buy, Fry's, Radio Shack, etc., and get a good quality mobile webcam that has a USB plug. You may want to get an extended USB cable so that you are not tripping over it.

12. Mark sure you have a place to set your laptop.

13. And thus, you become a part of the Solitaire Broadcast Network. We can term this the SBN.

14. Lastly, guys have got to support the product for it to work, simply meaning, look around at the ones who pave the way and make it possible and you support them, through watching and investing in the product. Or things like this are never possible.
