Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for distributing information during an event among a plurality of participants of the event includes a plurality of wireless devices (12a-12x) for wirelessly communicating with a server (16) via a network (14). The wireless devices (12a-12x) are individually associated with the plurality of participants. Each wireless device (12a-12x) includes application software (28) for enabling an associated participant to periodically store individual information in the wireless device (12a-12x) during the event. The network (14) includes a transceiver (13) adapted to receive individual information from and provide event information to the wireless devices (12a-12x). The server (16) includes server software (30) to enable the server (16) to receive individual information from the transceiver (13), compute the event information based on the received individual information, and transmit the event information to the transceiver (13) for substantially real-time wireless distribution to the participants via the wireless devices (12a-12x). The application software (28) continues to enable storage of individual information when a wireless device (12a-12x) is outside a range of communication with the transceiver (13).
