To answer the OP question, the criteria to make a stream official versus affiliate is what channel it's done on. If it's on the OOTPD channel, it's official. When it's not, and it's on the channel of an affiliate streamer, it's affiliate. Simple as that.

And yes, sometimes there are official streams that are not part of the Almighty Schedule, especially with Rich, who goes infrequently - that's why push notifications and email notifications of when we go live are super important.

As for affiliates streaming on the official channel, I assume there is an arrangement in place with Dr. D to do some of his OOTP stuff on the channel; I am not privy to the exact details. So, for the most part, with those limited exceptions, affiliate streamers don't stream on the official channel.

(Also, just to correct the record; laptop does not host the Wednesday FHM stream on the official channel; that is someone on the FHM team doing that, and that has never (except some accidental occasions) given out PT drops since the beginning of Twitch drops.)
