What kind of radio's do they use?
Sundial. How I wish that program was still being used. The problem is, the ban on teams setting up wireless networks keeps it down.

You can also pay attention to the pit announcements, have people in the stands tell you what match just went, wait for queuing volunteers to come get you, or just send a couple people to queuing about 3 matches before yours is to start. At the Championship, you're responsible for making your matches--there are no pit announcements.

Oh, and there is often a screen in the pits for the matches.
