Central Washington University vs University of Washington

April 24

Kickoff:

4:00 PM PT (setup required prior)

Required Equipment (Non‑Negotiable)

1080p‑capable camera

with minimum 20× optical zoom (Rugby is played on a large pitch. If you’re not able to frame a midfield scrum from the pressbox, you’re not equipped.)

Hardware video encoder

(e.g., Kiloview, Teradek, or equivalent) capable of RTMP streaming

Stable internet solution

(cellular, satellite, bonded, or venue‑based—your call, but it must work)

All required gear , including:

Tripod (fluid head strongly preferred)

Cables (HDMI/SDI, power, network)

Fully charged batteries / external power

Backup power plan

Rugby videography experience

Acceptable:

Experience filming fast‑paced, full‑field team sports such as:

American football

Basketball

What We’re Looking For

Ability to track continuous, wide‑field action smoothly

Understanding of game flow and anticipation (following play before it happens)

Confidence running a solo livestream setup under real‑world conditions

Compensation
Flat rate for the event (based on experience and equipment capability). Travel considerations may be discussed if applicable.
