>We apologize for any problems in the 'live audio broadcast' from Sunday

>folks attended.  Here is a note from Megan Rucker, the Classic's web
>support leader:  "I'm sorry [there were] some problems with the
>broadcast. We were dropped right before the Roughwings Awards were
>announced, but the connection was restored 3 minutes later. I loaded a
>message on the homepage, that users could reclick the link to be
>connected again.  The winners were uploaded to the GTBC homepage as they
>were being announced, and are there now at
>http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/gtbc along with 60+ photos from the Banquet.
>Again, I apologize for any problems experienced.  We've learned a lot
>from our Live Broadcast and will make it even better next year."

>Megan and her husband (he volunteered) did a superb job despite
>technical difficulties that were out of our control.  It's almost like
>the ole' statement that "the weather is out of our control."

>We also are having archiving problems that were promised.  Problems like
>this are never expected.  The Birding Classic ran smoothly if you were
>present.  It's all this extra web and internet stuff for those that
>could not attend that is the problem.  Please bare with us.
>
>There have also been questions on the scores listed and it might take up
>to a week to recheck them and then adjust where needed--the scores and
>bird liston the web are 99% there and correct.  None of the standings
>will change with the exception of third place for Upper Coast Section
>(TBA).  We are also completing the final list of all species seen on the
>entire coast for the entire Classic--a compilation of all teams (incl.
>Golden-winged Warbler that we thought was missed--thanks to Arvin for
>pointing out that it was not missed from my earlier post).  Please stand
>by, but check out our web site for more info and over 60 photos.
