That, alone, is enough to make or break some legitimate chances at a championship.

Nothing has impressed me more about 1114 than the quality and accuracy of their scouting. Over the years, both as a fellow student and as a mentor, I've struggled to find ways to motivate an entire team to scout. I've worked with individuals or small groups of dedicated students who made great "lead scouts," but never had a whole team
want to scout and deliver me information that I could trust as comprehensive and close to 100% accurate. Somehow 1114 has managed to instill such a culture where scouting is a priority and they can gather efficient, accurate, and organized data. I wish I knew how to replicate that. It's simply amazing.
