Last year and this year are the first time we have "advertised" to other teams. One thing to take into account is who you are lobbying to. Generally when we lobby to other teams they are ranked in the top few teams or a team we would really like to pair with that is ranked higher than us. Whenever we lobby we use our own scouting data. You need to have data to back up your claims. The only way we tell other teams about ourselves is through data. Teams are very receptive to it and really like it. And most of the time they will listen because you can prove why you are talking to them. We have has good success with it this year by being the 1st pick by the number one seed in two events.
