I agree that scouting isn't terribly beneficial on practice day, with one exception - it's great practice for your scouters! It gives you a chance to go through your process in a real setting, get the kinks worked out, and then chuck all that data at the end of the day . After all, there's no point in downgrading teams that don't show up during practice day, or upgrading teams that make it there all the time - if a team does well on practice day, they had better keep doing well the rest of the competition to be worth noting!
We're working on it! We're in the middle of rolling out a new website, so getting everything we need to get out there is a bit difficult right now.

Here's a partial list of the abstracts.
