We know using technology, which would be iPads for every scout with 1 or 2 laptops for us, would be faster and more efficient but we don't get how we would transfer the data to one big spreadsheet without manually entering it from every device.
Thanks for your help in advance.

My team uses Google Sheets spreadsheets for our scouting to take advantage of the share-ability of the document and the auto syncing from each device, so we dont have to worry about transferring anything. Basically we create one big document that has a different sub sheet for each team at the event and then put a bunch of match forms in each team's sub sheet, so for a given team all the information stays together.
At the events we have each of our scouters in the stands with an iPad putting the match data directly into the spreadsheet. Since there is usually no wifi by the competition field our scouters are editing the document offline and then the information from each of the six iPads will all sync up later when there is a connection.
Hope this helps
