In preparation for commenting during the recent CW, I wrote down some lines in advance, lest I would've had to improvise much more and risking saying something too dumb or too annoying, or worse being blatantly disrespectful or overtly rude...
I thought I might share what these lines were, as an example for future commenters...
- Clanwar commentary...
"Hello all & welcome to the JJnet season (??) clanwar of the teams (XYZ) & (XYZ)"
"Thanks for tuning into our broadcast of the ladder"
"Score (XYZ)"
"(Player) captures (red/blue) flag"
"(Player) takes the (up/down/left/right) carrot"
"A timeout is in effect"
"Refferee will be (name)"
"This round was (A) points (XYZ) & (B) points (XYZ)"
"The match concludes w/ an (XYZ) victory against (XYZ)"
"The broadcast stream URL is available at (https://www...)"
"The game was scheduled at (00:00) time on (unknown) day"
=-> Reference key: (?? = what ladder season is it), (XYZ = abreviation of team name), (Player = whomever), (red/blue = current color of the flag), (up/down/left/right = location of the carrot or other item on the level), (Name = refering to the ref), (A/B = number of points), (URL = link to broadcast stream), (time/day = whenever the event is scheduled)
...So maybe this commentary guide could be helpful to anyone who comments a live game, it helped me prioritize what I will say and prevent precarious improvisational speech.

Nice one, checking the number of the season beforehand is a great idea. And of course knowing who is the referee What I also like to do is check historical data of the playing teams (wins vs losses, on which maps they have played against each other in the past). This was for example our first clanwar loss against t3, out of two games played in total. Past clanwars can be checked under "All clanwars" in the jj.net menu, or under "National Tournament" for past national tournaments (and we've got an archive of our own past clanwars from 2000 till 2008, before jj.net. None of those clans is active on the ladder anymore though, except for GpW).

I had compiled this list of prior ladder seasons' top teams; although the information is not verified fully correct, it should be at least enough to keep track of how many ladder seasons there have been.
Therefore it follows that the current ladder season is the 18th.
(The asterisks are nothing substantial: just denoting that the team had a particular egoist on their roster at the time, such as myself.)
According to this data, here is a statistical breakdown:
Code:
(Total ladder championships, seasons 1 through 17)
CX - 6
GPW - 5
T3 - 3
CC - 2
RA - 1
