Re: Strategy Sub-Team

Our strategy "subteam" is students from any tehnical/business subteam that is interested in strategy, understands it well, and can communicate effectively in a scouting meeting. Scouters are any student not in the pit, who aren't presenting chairman's, who have been trained on our scouting app. Here's our hierarchy for the scouting team:
Code:
Lead Strategist
         |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Lead Scout                                                                   |
         |------------------------------------------|                        |
Match Scouters (~20ish)      Qualitative Scouters(3-5)          Pit scouters (1-2)
Lead strategist: Develops match strategy with the drive team. Collects data aggregated by the lead scout, and processes it with Tableau and MS Access. Manages pit scouters, collects information as they see necessary for developing strategy and picklists.Assembles the shift schedule for match scouting before each event.

Lead scout: Develops the match scouting interface, i.e. scouting app or paper sheets. Aggregates data from qualitative scouters and match scouters, to be collected by the lead strategist. Makes sure match scouters and qualitative scouters are focused, comfortable and are attending their shifts.

Match scouters: collect qualitative data using the scouting app. Work 2-3 2 hour shifts per event. Makes sure that the lead scout has collected their data before leaving their shift.

Qualitative scouters: dont have a schedule, but scout for 75-100% of matches out of their own enthusiasm. Collect qualitative data from matches, including notes about what a team did, why they did it, speculation on a team's strategic potential, etc. Extremely important in scouting meetings, as these are the students who see the most matches, and can provide excellent feedback on almost any team.

Pit scouters: collect general technical information on every team at the beginning of the event. They also do not have a predefined schedule, but are called upon by the lead strategist when they are needed. They will be frequently called upon Saturday morning to get last-minute, very specific info needed to make the picklist as strong as possible. Our picklist meetings include the lead mentor, drive team, lead strategist, lead scout, and qualitative scouters.
Ah that makes sense the strategy activity is during comp I take it.
