I can so empathise with you Lol. I remember my first digitally covered game as a nightmare.
I agree with Tony & Mark there is absolutely no point in shooting raw for live football! jpeg is all you'll need, unless of course you've been instructed to.
I always use card ingestion, (locked images only), unless direct ftping its just as quick once you get in to the swing of it, just make sure you've locked in a decent spread of the action to ingest & remembered to have both cards in the camera in case action starts again while still ingesting
.
I agree with Mark on the photo mechanic's ftp and I would rather save images through photo mechanic to a folder & use filezilla to send the images.
As for names always fire a few back of shirt pics after the action/goal & lock them for download along with the action that way you always have a reference.
pics are looking very good so, simplify your workflow as much as possible so that it doesn't rely on technology,(as great as it is), so much & you'll find yourself with more time to spend with your eye at the camera to capture the action, which, is really what your there for .
Good luck.
Regards Graham.
