Because of the delay, it's hard for me to time them. I'm not observing the match live, but I get the results before you do. However, the break in between matches is sometimes only a few minutes and each ad command I type in JTV is delayed by about 45 secs. Don't want you guys want to miss anything!
Maybe you should sit in skype with him so you can time it ^^ It's supporting the tournament so it's a good thing! ;D

why dont you keep the normal stream running and start an add right when a game is finished? that would assure at least one add per game and we wouldnt miss anything (except the nice music)

It doesn't on a 1 day tournament beyond the first match, but on longer tournaments could completely screw the other player preparation.
They need to prepare for all matchups, and if they are properly prepared they will know the opponent can switch races and will be prepared for that. The fact they need to learn two races should be rewarded not punished.
Then he can just not switch and benefit from his opponent splitting his preparation. Tournaments are about Starcraft, not pre-game deception.
Tournaments are about everything, not just the game. Every other sport has outside antics that factor into the outcome of the game. That's just foolish to think otherwise.
Well if some player is a good programmer let him use his maphack, after all it's hard to be a good progamer and programmer at the same time. That logic can go anywhere.
That's why there are rules, if a soccer player is a trained assassin, it doesn't mean they'll let him run around killing people on the field. In this particular case there were no rules against changing races.
Absolutely and in this case made for a much more enjoyable final. What wouldn't be pretty to see is someone like Thorzain spend a week carefully crafting builds for his upcoming TSL TvT match and at the lobby the opponent goes "I've been training ZvT this whole time and that's what you'll have to play! *trollface*"
