Yes, it was a server based web app. You could input data from any Windows Mobile phone, Ipod Touch, or laptop via a private wireless network. We had it hosted locally at the regionals and had planned to host it on one of Kiet's servers in LA for Championships, but didn't end up going through with it due to the limited number of scouts we had in ATL (zero, actually).
Kiet wrote it specifically to be viewed on the iphone, with the original desire of having 6-8 students with ipods inputting the data. After we were unable to get the ipods donated, it was modified some to work better with any web browser.
The most useful part of it for me was the video feature. In San Diego and Hawaii we had one of our scouting members record each match on a camcorder that recorded native h.264 mpeg4 files. We would then put them immediately onto the server and they would be accessible directly on the iphone. This allowed us to review strategy and quickly watch a teams previous performance in matches to see who we were with and what we were up against. It was pretty neat.
You really have to see it working to truly appreciate all the time Kiet put into this little app. Its quite awesome.
You all have ample time to get your sleep in from the final day of nationals to the friday before kickoff. There should be no reason why anyone will need sleep for the next 6 weeks and then some. You all have had enough of sleep or hibernation, now its time to wake up and do some work =). - mtaman02 [more]
