Chris,

Better check your table of results, specifically Manitoba and Host.

Amazing coverage Chris. You're a natural. You could replace Russ Howard - you're that good. I'm hoping that the CCA picks you to replace Jim Armstrong. You are the natural choice and everyone would support it.

My only request is there someway something can be done about the volume for the live streaming? It's a shame to be missing so much of what you're saying. If there's any adjustment that can be made on your end it would be very much appreciated.

Way to go Chris and thanks for your incredibly amazing work!!!!! You're the best!

Thank you for the great comments. We are doing are very best to get the coverage out to all of you.

As for the volume on the live streaming, we will work on getting it louder tomorrow.

We will also check our table results. We had a few problems with the server so a few updates may have been slow on getting up loaded.

Our Apologies!
