So in your viewpoint, "always-on" Internet connectivity is a requirement 
to participate in such a real-time event?  (If that's determined 
up-front, a computer system probably could be designed relatively easier 
than a system that has to handle live and post-processed logs later from 
other stations.)

It also probably eliminates rover activity from such a contest, except 
for the rovers that will go through the headaches to find wireless 
Internet solutions.
