Re: Rookie Teams in Elims
Part of the problem is lack of scouting.
Many times the picking lists don't get made until right before the alliance selection ceremony and in the rush of getting it done, unknown team numbers get overlooked if their robot wasn't noted by good scouting.
If you haven't done the proper scouting you are more likely to select teams that you already know rather than new numbers that are new to you. So in a way is not the rookie team's fault but the veteran scouter.
It is important that rookie teams approach those teams in the top 10 and tell them about their robot and why they should keep them in mind. Sometimes you can even ask them to watch you matches on Saturday morning and tell them the match numbers. If you talk to the right person, usually they are more likely to keep you in mind.
