I agree with Fritz and Adanac, although when you have a co-commentator and think about the moves when he's speaking, you're usually going to talk about more relevant moves than when you think while speaking, which is astonishingly hard.

I would probably have some time for teamspeak during c&g's game. But I am almost sure I will not be able for the whole game. I will go quietly to the lobby ...

Is this really the place to volunteer for the commentating on the upcoming games? Because I vainly tried to find it on the spreadsheet.
In case it is then I volunteer for the (co)commentating of the next game between chessandgo and hanzack. The front page of the game room is misleading.

I don't know who (if anyone) volunteered to coordinate commentary this year. Perhaps nobody is in charge.

Great, I added you and Adanac and Hippo as commentators for that game. If all three of you are there at once, I'm not sure how to work out taking turns talking, but you'll figure it out.

Since you said "games", I have put you down as commentator for both rabbits vs. Fritzlein and ocmiente vs. woh, but don't hesitate to clarify if that is too much for you. Thanks for volunteering!

It would be easier to keep track using the spreadsheet. After opening the spreadsheet you need to click on the tab for the current round (near the bottom of the spreadsheet). Then you can just enter you name for the games you want to commentate or help in other ways for.

I probably won't be able to relay or record for the chessandgo vs hanzack game. I might be able to catch some from the middle, but not from the beginning. If anyone can help with this, please add your name to the spreadsheet.

Does that mean someone is updating the spreadsheet with the games as soon as they are scheduled, and that someone is transferring the additions to the spreadsheet into the gameroom announcements? If so, I agree that the spreadsheet is the way to go; it's much more convenient than digging through a forum thread to find who said what. I've added myself there as commentator for Nombril vs. Tuks.

I don't think any one person is responsible for doing this right now. We've just been doing it in a shared way. I think Nombril had created the R1 and R2 pages soon after the games were scheduled; I created the R3 page recently. I think the gameroom announcements for the radio commentaries have been updated mostly by you. I've updated it occasionally just to add myself shortly before a game that no one had volunteered to commentate.

Right, and until that page is there, no one can use it to volunteer for commentary. So unless that is being done, the forum thread is actually the better place to report availability to commentate.

OK I'll start creating this page right after the schedule is finalized (Tuesday 8pm EST).

I rearranged my schedule a bit so that I can be available for the chessandgo vs hanzack R3 game. I should be able to relay and record the game.

That was indeed why I said "games" but it very well might be too much, co-commentators very welcome!
I am somewhat worried I'll end up saying nothing or "ummm....ummm...ummm" for long periods, I'll try to keep in mind your advice to say things that seem trivial.
