Re: Scouting Sheet

I agree with the others in regard to the problem of attaining internet access. It may be efficient to have a scouting binder, at least, and then eventually add the information online at the nearest time possible, and then email copies to the team perhaps. Our team has found that a scouting binder is the way to go when it's in paper and pencil though, since it's easier to carry around; online is nicer in case something is lost though.

The actual scouting sheet looks good. We tend to have numbers on our sheet too- that is to say, how many times a team scores and how accurate a team is in regard to said scoring. We also have an extra details category for pit scouting, where we ask about driving experience (how long have the drivers been driving, how much they practise, if the drivers are veteran or not, etc).

Also, maybe add a diagram? We try to add a diagram of the field so that it is visually pleasing and more comprehendible to our newer scouts and clears up confusion with the directions and all that- usually the diagram is colour coded as well, to add just a little more clarity.

As well as this, maybe add the team name in addition to the team number? Sometimes, it's easier to recognise names as opposed to numbers, and as such, is good for quick reference.
