Re: Alliance Selection Strategy

Collecting and compiling statistics on individual team contribution can be very helpful. This is the type of system that CORE uses for data collection and it is very labor intensive.

Scouting is a lot like building in that you need to consider the capability of your team in your planning.

For smaller/newer teams I would suggest some kind of partnership with a larger and/or more established team. You can get some data from them and then work on your own strategy using their numbers.

Otherwise, OPR or FRCminer are good sources of impartial data even if they are not 100% representative of the teams individual capabilities.

I hope the OP had a good outcome at Bayou and I would encourage all teams to keep practicing and growing your scout-egy capabilities. If you wait until you are going to need the data you probably will not get up to speed in time.
