How It Works

Production communications operate on two levels for a given tournament. The gamers and coaches are on a set of channels and the production team is on a set of channels. The two gamer teams, each on a single Encore analog partyline channel compete with each other. Their coaches on FreeSpeak II wireless beltpacks can move freely and communicate with the team – referees monitor the action on any channel. On the production side, shoutcasters call the play-by-play action while getting direction via IFB from the director.
