An idea just occurred to me: RE: Contest Coverage
I was sitting here in between bites of rice and a perfectly grilled filet, and a proverbial light bulb just lit above me. Granted most light up only to quickly burst, but I digress...
It is easy to understand the high costs associated with RX covering all, or even any contest all around the country. Travel costs, food, tickets, etc, all prove quite the budget crusher.
Perhaps there's a way to mobilize ther site membership, many of whom regularly attend the shows themselves and whom live all over the States.
Instead of Dave and Co. traveling everywhere, how about starting a thread about all upcoming NPC shows, and asking who plans on going, anyway. Then, request said member go to that show - perhaps you'll pay their ticket fee - and do a play by play, and take cell-phone footage of the posedown, for instance.
The compensation for going to a show one was going to anyway need not surpass the already proposed ticket entry fee, and perhaps a meal in between prejudging and finals if RX is so inclined.
Leverage the members and cover all angles at a relative fraction of current costs.Fill up the syringe...

I like it, but I have no idea how that would work related to Rx Muscle as a company or business entity. In that other thread there's a lot more conversation going on re liability and posting content that is somehow owned by the show promoter?
Guerrilla contest coverage! Again, I like it.
I took these shots at the 2013 ASF from the nosebleed section.

I hear you on liability, but I imagine with there being none of us on payroll, this being strictly voluntary, and members simply sending in photos they took, there shouldn't be much risk. That said, my professional field is not law.
And, to your credit, those are high quality pics that, along with a short play-by-play blurb like Dave does, would work, especially for small shows, I'd imagine.Last edited by Maniacal; 12-20-2014 at 08:41 PM.

Actually, that was you agreeing with an Rx Muscle Forums member who also happens to be an MD forums super moderator.
Ask permission? I much prefer Rear Admiral Grace Hopper's approach.
