I also think it could be used to send different levels of messages to teams when it times for them to Que up for matches (kind of like a buzzer you use at restaurants when your food is ready). Alas it never has been used beyond Midknight Mayhem.

Quick note - Raj is not affiliated with 1923. We do enjoy working with him for GMS at MidKnight Mayhem, though!
FIRST Mid-Atlantic uses GMS for inspection & queueing at events. I love the inspection implementation - all inspectors can see where each team is through the process. Red for no-inspection, Yellow for Size/Weight, Green for complete, IIRC. (I'm sure someone who has inspected at official events can clarify.) Plus the ability for pictures right there in the system of what's been changed for each re-inspection. Pretty cool to work with!
