Re: Using google documents to scout?

There are ways of splitting results, you need to use pivot tables or/and some semi-complicated equation like things. Making a sheet for every team is do-able, but we decided against it last year, because we attend the LA Regional, with over 60 teams.

I don't believe that you can change the back ground. We found the default easy to work with and we organized the rows by light blue and light red (for the different teams).

As for forms, we have had trouble last year using it. It worked perfectly before the competition, but they submitted too slowly and sometime did not submit at all. They might have fixed it since, but manually inputting the data works well too.

Again, Google Docs is one of the best things to scout with. It is so easy to use and it allows all teams to have the potential to make a great scouting system.
