The status of all competitors is tracked from the start of each
competition day and status indicators are set as this changes throughout the
retrieve process. Should a competitor be absent or choose not to compete on a
given day they will be listed as a non-participant so that their status is not
in question later in the day. Competitors reaching a given Goal or similar end
of task can be listed as a separate status which, if the monitor screen is made
publicly available, allows for everyone to see who completed the given task at
any given time. All SMS messages to and from competitors, vehicles and
organisation staff are recorded against each individual allowing an instant view
of all communication with any given person at any moment.

This system was developed for Paragliding Competitions hence the status
indicators 'LANDED', 'GOAL' etc but these are easily changed to suit any
competition. The SMS server incorporates a remote interrogation facility which
allows organisation staff to query the status, last known position, equipment
details, insurance details or competition address and contact numbers of any
competitor. A summary of the status of all competitors is also available.
Finally, any SMS containing the word URGENT can be passed immediately to the
competition director or other nominated person.
