Yes, the DST bug sounds like the most likely reason. Client computers will display the wrong match times if either they or the server is set to the wrong timezone or time. However, the countdown times will always be correct if the server time is correct, as the clients synchronize with the server to eliminate any discrepancy in the countdown.

They technically take you to the same place, but the second is a safe bet, I know when I was running Sundial at SVR, I had some minor problems getting DNS working, so the first address did not work.

thanks

This feature was extremely useful at UTC. I hope we can use it again at the championships. Great job.

Sorry, that was my fault as I was running it plus I was pit boss, and I had chairman's. The people I asked to help me were to lazy to do anything. Sorry! Also the time problem was due to your computer, my computer, my router, and a problem I was unable to control. Sundial would show different things on different computers all of the time.

Will Sundial be running at Nationals?

The "07_CMP_Essential_Information" document recently released by FIRST describes Sundial, but it doesn't actually come out and say that it will be available. I fully expect that it will be, though.

I'm still waiting on the final confirmation from FIRST, and the logistics are still being worked out with NASA and 4FX, but it looks as if Sundial will be running at the Championship in all four divisions, complete with match results and standings.

Thus is probably a bot much to ask for, but will the standing include QP's, win/loss/tie, etc stats too? Or will it simply show the standings with just a team #?
