Do you intend to train all your scouts to the point where they all give rankings consistent with both themselves and others, without being influenced at all by the sales ability of the people they're talking to? I know that over the course of an event, I certainly develop my opinions and biases - and that would take a lot of effort of deal with. If you have the people and time for that training, that's all well and good. If not, you may want to change your system a bit.

On a more practical note: If you print out the google form as it is, it winds up being 3 sheets of paper. If you can, I'd suggest formatting it to fit onto a single sheet of paper. This will mean fewer papers flying around at competitions.

Also, I'd second Abhishek's point about the unreliability of pit scouting. It's useful in the first few rounds, because your match scouting won't have quite enough data yet. However, as matches move on, it quickly degrades in value.
