RICHMOND, VA - For the 3rd consecutive year, GamedayMagazine.com and the Virginia High School League will team up to provide an online broadcasting option live from the Siegel Center at VCU.
Gameday will be broadcasting every semifinal and championship game with live video online at GamedayMagazine.com. Just like this past fall for the VHSL Football Championships, Gameday will again provide an All-Access Pass option for fans and relatives that cannot make the trip to Richmond.
The VHSL All-Access Day Pass will cost $14.99 and will be good for 24 hours online to view both live games, and the On-Demand replays later that night.
For those that wish to watch as many games as they can, Gameday also has an option that encompasses the entire week's worth of coverage for $39.99. That's just over $1 per game for all 30 broadcasts.
In addition to providing live coverage for every game, GamedayMagazine.com will be the exclusive source for live post-game press conferences after each contest. The Gameday photography staff will also be posting photos from each game for you to view and purchase if you like on our photo gallery.
Gameday has been covering the state championships with the VHSL since 2006, and is the state of Virginia's only online broadcast network for high school sports. Based in Northern Virginia, GamedayMagazine.com produces over 350 athletic events per year for both Live and On-Demand viewing.
The 2009 Football Championships marked the first time that Gameday and the VHSL partnered to provide a Pay Per View opportunity with live video.
"Gameday has been committed to working closely with the VHSL to make sure every state tournament is covered as much as possible online with our broadcast network," said Gameday owner Andy Hayes. "We are excited to be able to produce all 30 games live this year from VCU, and also provide the exclusive live coverage of the press conferences. It will be a great way for the fans that cannot attend to still enjoy the action."
Current Gameday MVP Members will have to purchase a VHSL All-Access Pass in order to watch the VHSL State Championships online at GamedayMagazine.com. This is mandated via the agreement entered into by Gameday and the VHSL for these events.
