I completely understand. Our scouting team includes 5 people who all do different jobs to make sure everything goes smoothly and quickly. We make the rest of the team do actual match and pit scouting. We have one person inputting data into the computer. 2 people making sure all the sheets get handed out or given back. one person make sure the sheets are in order for the most efficient input into the computer.And the head scouter (me) who makes sure everyone is doing their job, helps any person who needs help, watches matches and takes notes, and gets data to the drivers. This works because our team is huge (over 70 students) so we can distribute the load and let everyone take a rest. We don't have any dedicated match scouters because of this. I understand that some small teams may have problems so I would suggest to those small teams to possibly team up with another team to get enough scouters. Even our team did that at the Michigan State Competition (with 3641 because they didn't have enough scouters). The positive of doing this is that involves cooperation, coopertition, and gracious professionalism.
