Its a quick, easy way to figure out whats going on and make good choices without looking at data during selection.

I believe that Gary Hedge, who mentored Team 980, introduced it to them.
Yep Gary Hedge invented this back on 980, back in the day. Gary now mentors 3476. Funny thing is Gary's velcro sheet wound up being used by 3309. So both 3476, and 3309 were right next to each other in the rankings, thus were next to each other in line with very similar pick lists.

The 3309 students loved this system and are very thankful for Gary teaching them. Gary uses it to gut check the quantifiable atributes. Its then used as the pick list.
