Absolutely ... trust me our team does individual scouting at the events we attend. However, the method described above is a simple way to look at events you are not at. This is also helpful when forecasting or looking forward to the next event you attend.

Also I feel that the first few picks of the draft can be determined by the above ranking. The first pick is easy, but the 24th pick is the hardest pick of the draft.

This was just a suggestion for teams that don't have the resources or man power to do full comprehensive scouting system.

If anyone is interested in how we scout at an event feel free to stop by our pits and ask.
