My two cents on the matter is use quantitative or at least empirical measures as much as possible. You can track more than score with numbers.

All this can be tracked with numbers, trust me! You just have to think outside the box. Instead of asking how good a driver is, ask how bad they are (Do they get fouls constantly, fail tasks, etc.). Instead of asking how well a team cycles, ask how many cycles they complete a match. Think through your measures, decide whats important to you and whats not. Just be sure your scouts are recording data, not opinion pieces.
