Thank you, it is awesome to be told that we are being noticed. Random fact about our team, we've always been in the position where we become a captain or don't go to elims at all. So not our first time as that 8th seed captain, it would have ended that streak We've been 8th captain from 9th seed, 11th, and now 15th seed.

This isn't too much info at all! I love to see how other teams do their scouting in order to compare our system and see what we can improve and where we are doing well.

Lobbying is probably the one thing we have never really done, obviously this worked well for you to 2522, is this something we should put a little more focus to in your opinion?

Our scouting meeting system is quite similar, we try to start with our "do not picks" first in order to narrow it down. That does mean that once in while a team will get bumped up later on. In the morning we mainly look for major improvements, to see if anyone is breaking, and if there are any broken ones that we could potentially help get fixed in time for an elim match.

One thing I do like about the paper scouting is it helps keeps us moving at 1am during the meeting shuffling papers versus staring at a screen. I'll PM you an email, I would definitely like to see your Tableau setup.

I was also curious if you (or other teams if you're reading) do any pre-competition scouting? We look for performances in the last couple of years, alliances, and other team info. For our second competition I try to add how the teams did in their first event. (A lot of it is condensed from The Blue Alliance).

Thank you for sharing!
