The heats, held in Courtyard on the Monday and Wednesday, were a source of much issue to plan. We weren't allowed access to Courtyard before 18:00, so had 2 and a half hours to set up all the OB kit. This was further complicated by the plan to do a proper broadcast mix for our audio. These issues were somewhat alleviated by telling the crew that they were going to turn up at YSTV at 17:00, and both help rig and de-rig the kit. After a testing at [[docs:OB:Elections 2014|Elections]], [[docs:Kenobi|Kenobi]] was also used.

In the end, both heats were set up in plenty of time, in a fairly stress free environment, with no major failures. They also broadcasted constantly for the entire shows. A slight issue with one of the capture cards was discovered, and a small misunderstanding by Robert resulted in the headers for the recording of Monday sort of not to be a thing.

== Final ==
The final took place in D-Bar, making use of Derwent's stage. This didn't go quite as smoothly as the heats, with broadcast starting slightly after the first act started performing. This was partly due to a couple of kit failures ({{unsure|Something went wrong with tally,}} MuxControl didn't work as expected, and Howard was refusing to respond to commands) and the attempt to do a slightly more ambitious set-up than the heats. Overall, however, the broadcast went well and we got some great coverage.
