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.
What would you guys suggest for a game scouting ?
