Each show was captured by 3 Panasonic 24p DVX-100A cameras, Two main center cameras were each receiving 2 external mic inputs (3rd camera floating). After realizing too many house venues had some serious audio issues, a Mackie 4 channel audio mixing board was brought on the road, to travel with us.

Center camera one:

• 2 x Sennheiser G2 e100 series wireless lavalier kits
• Used as back-up mics for all student comedians
• Excellent wireless mic kits for production

Center camera two:

• PZM (Boundary) omni condenser mic for audience reactions
• Stage microphone, from stage-to-mixer-to-house PA

• 2 x Sennheiser mkh shogtun mics
• Pistol grip shock mount | Zeppelin windscreen
• Several rolls of paper tape | 150+ ft of xlr cable

Student comedians signed-up, and were picked to compete on stage. To claim the "Crown" for their school, votes were text via cell phone at the end of each show, and a winner moved on to the website bracket, for that region. Online votes were tallied at the end, and the final winners won a trip to Cancun for the Spring Break Finals.
