It also greatly helps at Atlanta to know how behind / ahead the match schedule is running, which the Sundial also shows.
Sundial will be back this year for all 4 divisions, thanks to some wonderful people at FIRST, Hatch, and NASA. Use a Wi-Fi card to connect to the network (wireless coverage graciously provided by NASA) and get access to match schedules, countdowns, standings (new at GTR 2006), and results (new at CMP 2006).

The data is being copied real-time from the scoring computers over a seperate network link, so it will reflect 100% the official data.
