www.ncaa.com/news/beach-volleyball/article/2017-04-27/ncaa-national-collegiate-beach-volleyball-returns-liveIf that's the case then that sucks. Im not American so I dont get either station. & really I'd rather watch the pairs I want to watch rather than be subjected to what TBS/truTV wants to show you. I don't know how the coverage was last year on TBS/truTV. I'm guessing they will focus on the 1-3s like it was for the PAC12 championships. The only mention of a live event on NCAA.com is the selection show tonight. I don't know if the calender last year showed the matches to be avail a week before as I only went there a day before. But so far there is no Beach Volleyball on those days Last year i was thrilled that NCAA.com had all 5 courts going on livestreams and you could pick what you wanted to watch. Was really hoping for the same thing this year.

I don't remember the NCAA live streaming every court last year - pretty sure Turner Sports had things locked down last year too, but I could be wrong.
But they do a 10-minute delay between the first two matches per dual, and the last three pairs - rather than starting all five pairs at the same time. This allows for TV coverage of multiple pairs and guarantees that they are able to switch to the court for the clinching match. I thought Turner did a good job last year of coverage.

The tv coverage is exactly the same as last year: 3 hours Friday and Saturday, 2 hours Sunday...same stations and all. I don't know about anything outside of the tv coverage, live streams, etc..

The coverage was fine last year. I watched the Friday matches on my phone at work with no issues. Turner does a good job with sports. I thought it was odd that they weren't promoting the coverage on their network like last year.

How do you watch the selection show? There are no links on any NCAA or Beach VB sites.

Im happy now tho because Ok it was announced at the end of the selection show that once again all 5 courts will be streamed on NCAA.com. Im glad I can watch the pairs I want to watch now. If its like last year , its on all 3 days days from start to finish, doesnt cut away at all. You can watch players warm up and whatnot. No announcers, but that doesnt bother me. Ive had enough of Anne-Marie reminding me that Claes/Hughes had a 103 match win streak  They did have all 5 courts streaming last year. You can go to the live events calendar & switch the dates to last years to take a look at it. |
