It would be easier to just scrape that page. Plus, that is only 1 page request instead of thousands.

This page is amazing!!! Issue opened to switch our scrapers to this - it's so much simpler!

I made a FIRST Wiki page to trade notes on how to scrape FIRST pages. Borrowing Pat Fairbank's TPID scraper made scraping Team pages possible before, but I don't think that's a widely known technique. It needs more love, but an OK start.
