Data is synced to a master tablet via Bluetooth every few matches. Overall the students said the experience was positive and after a few database hiccups during the first matches the whole thing worked pretty well.

We're adjusting some of our metrics for this weekend and hopefully we'll have everything squared away by Friday.
Our system we've used for 3 years works in much the same manner. We upload our data to the Internet via two different cell connections (different providers), and then send the results to our viewer apps on our drive team's phones.
