With Worlds now on the radar I just want to raise this.
FFG please provide more Armada coverage this year! As much as possible!
Can we please get a couple of "top 4" games each day? And as many of the finals as possible?
Even if you have to enlist some of the awesome players from the fan base to commentate?
That is all....
Your pal Biggs will be there reporting on the day(s) I don't get to play.

Ooooh.
But if you all want to buy me a plane ticket and accomodation I can live blog games.
See my euros posts for examples.
I will also require compensation should I pick up more forum warnings as I did last time I blogged a game. It was flavour I tell thee. Flavour
Me, Ben and Chris of Comms Noise shall be there and we will try and record in the evening well everything is fresh, guess it depends how long a day it is.
Man, I'm gonna be in Disneyland that weekend. Boo for not taking my plans into consideration, FFG!

As long as you remember that you are representing her majesty at worlds and so must endeavour to win with nothing spared. Given you are British I expect that your best is bringing the trophy home along with runner up and delivering a podcast every evening.
The nation expects.

With Swiss rounds being at the hotel, I don't think that's likely, unfortunately.

I will add to this that they should all wear kilts and red coats and force the event to stop for tea at 4pm.
For King and Country.

So cricket, bowls, curling, dressage..... i see nothing wrong with any of those. The biggest difference is we understand that there is nothing shameful in drawing, doesnt always have to be a winner.....
This is also good:

Legal agreements can prohibit filming and transmission of it in a public place... depends on the hotel.

Not in that one apparently. Bottom floor with lead in all the ceiling panels. They said this last year

It's not that simple for FFG, unfortunately. With the way they are organized (a very small tech crew) FFG doesn't really stream off site -- even for their biggest events. Heck, they really only stream on site for World's and only do one game at a time there.
Maybe they'll have something figured out but they're probably going to stream X-Wing Swiss Wednesday. If they even have a second setup, Wednesday is Armada's only chance (but I think the fact that it is offsite, probably tells you all you need to know). Thursday are elimination rounds for a couple of games, X-Wing AND Destiny swiss (so all of those would have priority). Friday will likely be the only official Armada streaming.
If you're looking for something less than streaming, OP tends to be overwhelmed with a lot of other duties at World's.
It's unfortunate that they don't get more publicity, but FFG Star Wars games tend to be popular and maybe give the impression that the FFG staff is a lot bigger than it actually is.
