The feature match area basically outdoors, it feels frosty during a game because sitting down there’s nothing going on to get blood flowing to the extremities. My fingers were close to falling off by the end.

I know I heard Ben itching to go inside as soon as one of his games was done...
It's not too bad. It's been about 55-60 F all weekend. It was a little chillier today that yesterday when I was playing outside in the tent. But I borrowed an ugly sweater to wear during both of those games.

If it makes you feel better, we've had 3 inches of rain and 40 mph wind gusts in Richmond today. Good day to stay inside and watch ST:CCG livestreams.

Tent? Was it supposed to be warm?

So, the venue is a Masonic temple that also hosts weddings. @JeBuS set up all the streaming equipment out in a tent behind the main venue, presumably so it wouldn't pick up all the background audio from the rest of the games

Also, a big shout-out to Brian who has played every one of his games outside this weekend because he's been running the stream.

It has probably rained during about 25% of the games.

I found outside more comfortable than inside but that's because it's not as warm as inside.

Michael,
who did throw some axes and no one got hurt.
