It is bound to be a great Sixes, considering the many obstacles already overcome. Equipment failures abounded as the first matches got underway:

• The Internet connection was out for a few hours
• Once it was restored, a power box for the wireless relay self-destructed, putting the Internet offline again.
• The automatic link to the scoreboard died with a component failure.
• The automatic score feed turned uncooperative.

Despite the plague of problems, the weather is beautiful, the grass is in good shape, and the matches already show touches of brilliance. We expect to have things online soon, so keep watching and listening to our web site.
