That's why we collect all the data that we need. We don't scout just to keep people occupied. We use every piece of information we gathered. If there is anything we didn't use, we remove it from the scouting sheet at the next event.

I tend to feel like that's something that's noticed in-person though, or in a specific note taken during, but not really gleaned from the statistics. If one of our scouts noticed that X team had something special that would really fit well with our team then there's no reason why we can't take note of that.
