This is challenge enough as a coach, and I've met may coaches who miss such things.

Also, you'll only be "told" which rule the foul is on for the "most common" fouls. Our at least our best guess at the most common fouls. The rest will take some deduction on the part of the scouts. Something to consider depending on the experience/knowledge/attentiveness of your scouts.

Yes, you're right. I wasn't clear. I think the best practice would be to instruct scouts on recognising fouls themselves, but if that fails, they should be able to watch the referees, since this year's scoring isn't very difficult with only 3 balls per robot (at a time) and a relatively slow endgame.
