For this years Championship "we" are going to try and be a little more accurate on both the number of requests and actual visitor numbers

There is no real accurate method but we will try!

So:- Multiple hits with the same IP, user agent and access day, will be considered a single visit

26th requests were 18,860 with number of unique visitors 370

Is there a way to count those people who may be watching the Championship on the ICC?

Yes, you would need to ask the server administrators of ICC to provide the information : I don't know who they are.

Well, boards 1-5 seem to be working. Well, at least they're displaying that the games exist. The other box doesn't seem to show anything at all.

Conversely, right now I can't see 1-5 (I could earlier) but I can see 6-10.

I have emailed people on site telling what the fault is see if I can get it fixed

Will this not understate your visitors who may be watching at work, when employed by a big company eg Lloyds, or HM Gov depts where are large number of users will be counted as possibly one or a small number of users.

Yes it will spot on....

But then the only method is the quote the number of requests (or hits...) and the nature of the DGT software (lots of small files...) overstates the actual number of people watching!

It's hard work yes

Saturdays figures should be more reliable then.

Since yesterday was so bad some extra equipment has been purchased to get the live games up to speed

Fingers crossed

Not that good but then it was broken a lot of the time

Busy today though as a 1 minute average shows...
