In term of what?

Availablilty of information for those not at the games or living in Asia. However, that’s more of a problem with the broadcasters. I’ve actually been impressed by most other aspects of the games, besides the need for a good results system. So congrats so far!

Asian Games broadcast outside Asia is usually hard to find because imo OCA don't know the potential.. Besides they never really interact with the fans.

 

And this year, even in Indonesia the broadcast is a mess. The right holders (Emtek) have 3 FTA TV stations and till today they only broadcast 2 football matches.
Other broadcast partner (from different media group) did broadcast basketball and non-Indonesian football team but those using Pay TV can't watch it.

Streaming provided in that Vidio.com website but the quality is trash (720p but still blurry, WTF)

Most Indonesian in remote areas uses satellite dish, but they can't watch anything because of the 'broadcast spillover' prevention. During the Asian Games they became a foreigner lol. Lots of complaints (and bad words) were directed to the organizers and Sport Minister.

 

The Sport Minister even sent a letter to Sheikh Ahmad regarding this issue. Pay TV ban is lifted afterwards.

 

The decision to let this Emtek Group is a big question mark when it was announced. Even the CEO caught off-air saying that "Indonesians don't watch the Olympics, and we don't want any low rating shows." >> (yet still get the broadcast rights for Olympics)

 

#donerant :lol:

The official website. :thumbdown: I still hope for a miracle to see a better version when the competition officially starts.:pope:

 

no PDF section. for example in basketball results you only can see the number of points scored for each players. to know the number of assists rebounds. percentages etc you have to click on every single player. I never saw such thing for a basketball report. and that was just an example.

 

or if someone from China wanted to know which Chinese athletes are going to compete tomorrow. he has to check every single single link for each sport because there is no NOC section.

So there is now no current streams or replays available in the US. The OCA has always been the most progressive in terms of sports, but the least progressive in equality, presentation, and basically every other field of study. I’m so disappointed by the presentation of the games. I’d actually looked forward to watching them, but I hear half of Indonesians can’t even watch them, so the odds are not in my favor. I wish Olympic Channel would’ve pursued the OCA for rights to broadcast the games internationally. Hopefully, the YouTube streams work eventually.

Here ends my rant about the 2018 Asian Games, who’s next?

Yeah, and they also randomly sort countries when you are searching (Indonesia at the bottom, they thought this is the parade of nations!). And the organizing committee is already hallucinating for 2032 Olympics :facepalm:

    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.
