Re: Communication Devices During Alliance Selections?

I like how Blair was excited to see the first scouting iPad on the Field during one of the Alliance selections (I think it was Lake Superior).

It might be good for someone to ask on the Q&A so we have a clear interpretations. The closest is this one that allows laptops and vaguely allows team collaboration.

In the past my scouting team has tracked the selection as a group and sent a text message with short list for the second pick a couple picks before we select. Usually, it just confirms our current list, but it may include reordering based on first round results/match ups. The first round pick is always done from the main paper list, no need for changes.
