Well how do you share this information between 5-10 people....we have windows tablets and i'm just wondering if we could synch them somehow.

I was working on Bluetooth sync, but it turns out to be dead simple to use a USB stick. First, you need to make sure that all of the tablets have different names. Then, at the end of the day or at lunch or whenever, plug the USB flash drive into each tablet, swipe up and select copy files. Point the app at the drive and it copies the data. It literally takes 2 minutes to do that with 6 tablets.
The reason you need to ensure different IDs on the tablet is that when you copy data to the destination it's done destructively. So if there are two tablets named "RED1" the second tablet will overwrite the data from the first tablet named "RED1". This is a feature, not a bug by the way, you can pull the data off the tablets every 5 or 6 matches and you don't end up with oodles of files to contend with.
If you have six scouts, you should end up with 12 files on the USB stick. Six named {event name}-all-{Recorder}.csv which have the detailed event data and six named {event name}-sum-{recorder}.csv which have the match data summarized.
Then you can copy the data from the USB stick to whatever system you're doing analysis on where you can import it. Since the data is still on the tablets and on the USB stick, you end up with quite a bit of data redundancy.
Once you have the data in Tableau, some obvious computed fields are to take things like SUM(Truss Throw Successes)/SUM(Truss Throw Attempts) to get a success rate or SUM(Truss Throw Total Time)/SUM(Truss Throw Attempts) to get an average time it takes.
