Re: How does your team do scouting?

This year at OKC we went for a really organized method. Ignoring Thursday quantitatively, we went the pen & paper route (not enough laptops to go that way) and had 6 people, one for each team, recording points in each basket and in autonomous, attempted shots, balancing info, and extra notes for the qualitative aspect. After each match it was put into the master spreadsheet, which even had an algorithm to calculate our own personal ranking.

It showed us as 4th while our actual rank was 12th... so it valued scoring over bridge, especially the CP. 178 TP isn't anything to laugh at, but the 58 or so HP really hurt us.
