In partnership with the Peninsula Wrestling Association, USA Wrestling will provide a free webcast of the Virginia Duals for the second year in a row.

USA Wrestling will provide expanded coverage from the previous year, covering live duals from five of the six divisions in the Hampton Coliseum on Jan. 7-8. 

Jason Bryant of USA Wrestling will handle the play-by-play on one of the four planned feeds, and will be joined by Earl Smith of D1CollegeWrestling.net, as well as a host of other guest commentators.

Fans can watch the streams on TheMat.com’s Virginia Duals webcast coverage page hereor Ustream.tv. 

Feed 1 Feed 2 Feed 3 Feed 4

Streams are planned to encompass competition primarily from the National College and National High School divisions, but will show matches from the American College and two other high school divisions. 

Fans will be able to interact with the broadcast crew via the Ustream.tv chat room, but does require registration via ustream (which is free).

The chat room will work from Feed 1. During the non-championship rounds and high school rounds, fans can listen to the audio from the house PA with announcers Ken Berger, Eric Benoit and Doug Ripley on Feed 1.

While four streams are planned, in the event connectivity causes bandwidth issues, the streams could be down to two or three. Viewers should be aware of this. 

Competition starts on Friday, Jan. 7 at 9 a.m. Below is the tentative webcast schedule. Matches may change periodically, but the listed dual is likely to be the featured match on that stream for that round.
