We use a 3 computer system - one red alliance, one blue alliance, and one master scout. The alliance scouts collect basic scoring statistics while the master scout comments on a team's playing tendancies.

We have used paper in the past, but found that we can focus on collecting data than having a master scout shuffle and file paper.

We are going to publish a white paper with more details on our system shortly.

Yes it is very similar.
We used paper last year, but it was too much we had to carry around, so now we have 2 students watching each alliance,
We use paper but we cover it with a clear plastic sheet and use dry erase markers, so the person in the middle using the computer just looks down at their clipboard and puts it all into the program, and then they just erase the writing on the clipboard, and we can re-use the paper. Its pretty accurate, and its easy to set up.
