A microwave appliance (10) designed to communicate with a plurality of communication devices (11,13, & 15) within a piconet (30) includes a transmitter (24) for communicating with the plurality of communication devices within the piconet; and a processor (22). The processor is programmed to communicate (102) to a master within the piconet about operating information of the microwave appliance, delay bias (104) to a microwave source within the microwave appliance for a predetermined time upon a user request for microwave appliance operation and then return (108) to a normal operating condition.

The method of claim 1 wherein the step of generating at least one digital graphical icon comprises: creating a digital graphical icon comprising at least one of: a vector representation of at least one parameter of the athlete's motion; an iconic base; the numeral from the tracked athlete's uniform; a bar graph representation of at least one parameter of the athlete's motion; and a line graph representation of at least one parameter of the athlete's motion; and storing the graphical icon in a data structure. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of correlating further comprises the steps of: encoding each digital image frame with camera position, orientation, and focal data at the time the digital image frame was recorded; encoding each digital image frame with an item of the athlete motion data for a tracked athlete whose image is recorded in that digital image frame, wherein a time element of the athlete motion datum and a time-tag of the digital image frame differ by no more than a predetermined tolerance; encoding an athlete motion datum in a data structure, the data structure containing the digital graphical icon representing at least one of the athlete motion data and data derived from the athlete motion data; comparing the encoding in the digital image frame to the encoding in the digital graphical icon data structure to identify matched sets, wherein a matching set comprises a digital image frame and a digital graphical icon having the same encoding; storing each matched set of a digital image frame and a digital graphical icon in a data structure; transforming an icon, wherein the image of the icon is transformed into a perspective of the digital video camera that recorded the digital image frame having matching encoding, as if the icon was located at the coordinates of the athlete at the time the athlete was there; and storing each matched set of a digital image frame and a transformed digital graphical icon in a data structure. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of superimposing comprises the steps of: determining which pixels in the digital image frame correspond to pixels of a digital graphical icon; and changing a portion of the pixels of the digital image frame to a color selected for the icon. 8. The method of claim 7 wherein the step of changing comprises at least one of: changing to a color selected for the icon only those digital image frame pixels representing both the icon and the field of play; changing to a color selected for the icon all digital image frame pixels representing the icon; and changing to a color selected for the icon all digital image frame pixels representing the playing field, the icon, and not the tracked athlete. 9. A system for evaluating athletes comprising: at least one athlete tracking subsystem, operative to simultaneously collect tracking data on a plurality of athletes; at least one tracking data processing subsystem, operative to process the tracking data to produce athlete motion data; at least one analyst subsystem, operative to allow at least one analyst to input data to the system; at least one database, operable to store and retrieve data records comprising at least one of the athlete tracking data, the athlete motion data, derived data, and the analyst-input data; at least one athlete motion analysis processing subsystem, operative to process the data records, and responsive to the analyst inputs to provide derived data; and at least one display subs
