Update on my YouTube Channel -
Last month I received an average of 210 viewers daily.
The 2013 Manitoba provincials have now been viewed over 4000 times.
The 2013 Alberta provincials have now been viewed over 3600 times.
I'm featuring arm wrestling content from across the prairies. I've added playlists for training, supermatches, Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan tournament footage.

Each viewer watches for an average of 4 minutes.
How can I continue to improve this channel?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to improve the presentation of arm wrestling video entertainment over the internet?
I really love the video linked brackets that I developed. They are created automatically by my tournament software.
Software:

Linked Bracket (MB prov 2013)

There is commercial software that offers publishing of brackets without video links
www.allprosoftware.net/abarm (AB prov 2013)
I feel having the brackets published is very important in presenting double elimination footage and I encourage all others to utilize tournament software and film their events in HD (720p@60fps or 1080@ 30fps). I choose 720p/60fps because I understand that most TV is shot at 1080p but sports are shot at 720p and 60 fps due to fast moving action.
I'm using up to ten cameras placed around the arm wrestling table to catch every angle. I shoot all footage on the Kodak playsport zx3, which i can get on ebay for about $60. I edit the videos in Sony Vegas, which allows me to select the desired angles as i am watching all ten streams.
I've been building a stage that goes around the table to hold the cameras as well as 1100 watts of 6500k compact fluorescent lights. I have yet to utilize this in a tournament, but it will greatly improve the low light situations that i'm often faced with at bar room tournaments.
I've compiled a list of western pullers and would like to make profiles and promo videos for the top pullers once i've collected enough footage.

I'm also considering the idea of lending out cameras to major tournaments that I can't attend myself. I'm well set up to edit, store and publish the HD footage that might otherwise not be available.
