We participate in 2-3 team scouting alliances each year for this very reason. The logistics of setting it up and getting everyone data for their matches can be a nightmare at a small regional (since somebody is up basically every third match), but it makes it so students don't have to devote as much of the day to scouting matches.

I have old quantitative scouted data for several regionals dating back to 2009. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you would like a sample.

For our team, our pick list is almost totally based on robot capabilities (wide robots only this year, if possible) and match performance, with priority put toward the more recent matches. If one tries to sell himself or herself to us, we will cross reference his or her claims with our quantitative data and impressions by our subjective scouters.
