It still bothers me that Scouting is unappealing to people. It's probably the most important job on the day of the competition, no matter what type of team you are. You always need to know the capabilities of your allies and opponents in each match.

That being said, I think the scouting room would be a cool place to just have standings, rankings, and scouting tools, rather than be a place to watch matches. It would be the one stop scouter's station.
