Something that really would help every team, rookies and veterans alike, is to see a match in action, showing potential strategies, and mainly just to see the timing of certain tasks. One thing that really influences a lot of design decisions on teams is the (mis)timing of completing objectives in a match. I know this would've helped my team in 2012, we used horrible time estimates for each task to be completed and we underestimated how many points could potentially be scored!
