You might even leave them (a topflight player you want to kibitz) BBO mail asking them to let you know when they're going to play one of these high-level team matches. I'm tempted to do yet another poll to test this theory - something like, 'if someone sent you such mail, would you be annoyed or helpful or somewhere inbetween?' Clearly if most would be annoyed, this isn't a good idea.

I took the poll and was encouraged by the results. Of the 8 people (besides me) that replied, all would be helpful and none would be annoyed. Based on that, I think you should feel free to ask your favorite stars when they intend to play a high-level team match that you can watch.

You think anyone would be interested in watching a time-delayed tourney?

Does it matter, since you are still watching same tourney, only 5 minutes later. Bidding and cardplay still going to be same.
I actually think it is a great idea, and possibly will cut down greatly on some cheating going on.
