Re: [BB] What Do You Want at St. Louis Championships

Sundial was a network-based service that tapped into field feeds to provide a time estimate to a team's next match--and an estimate of how far behind the field was running.

With it being on a network/wireless, use was stopped sometime around 2008/2009 due to wireless concerns. Hopefully it can make a comeback--it was incredibly useful for "We're in match 45, it's supposed to be in 15 minutes, but they're only on match 33, so we've got an extra hour to make those improvements" or "Uh... Guys, they're running ahead. GET TO THE FIELD!".
