Life In 19x19

I watched the Nongshim games on BadukTV earlier in the week, saw the players walk in and sit down at the fancy table and chairs, with the gamerecorder/timekeeper sitting at the far side of the room with her own fancy table -- then I see the images posted on http://justplaygo.com/. The players are the same, but they're sitting in cheap vinyl covered stackable chairs at a cheap folding table with a table cloth. Three people maning the gamerecorder/timkeeper's table covered with computers and papers.

Why the two different setups for the same game? The advertisements for BadukTV say live coverage, but is it really? Or is it staged?

The archived videos on http://www.ch-bee.com/ are from the 11th Nongshim Cup, while the photos on the blog are from the 12th Nongshim Cup. I hope that this clears up the confusion.

yeah, no. I'm not talking about the videos from last year's Nongshim Cup. I mean from the live video stream earlier this week for this year's first stage: Lee Sedol, Xie He, etc.
