While I don't have any statistics, we typically do something that resembles "scouting" on Thursday (practice day). I know we are often surprised by the teams that we don't see on the field Thursday.

Some additional examples of teams that didn't show up on the practice field Thursday: 217 at Chesapeake 2012 (lost in semi's), we (836) haven't been on the field Thursday several times in the recent past, and IIRC 1114 at GTRE 2013 (I know they were busy all day in the pits making changes, don't recall if they ever made it out).

Point being, no you can't "forget about a team" simply because they were not on the field on Thursday (practice day).
