I'll agree with this. Even though my team uses an android scouting application, paper to scouting (or even laminated sheets, I recommend laminated sheets) can be SUPER reliable as well- try and make a good paper/excel scouting system if your team can't muster a good electronic scouting system IMO. Paper can get annoying if not properly organized, but if properly organized, it can works wonders.

I write super sloppy BUT paper can tell the story..I use highlighter colors to explain the story and Excel with colors so others can read it. Boils down to in essence are they a help or hindrance and are they reliable and consistent?

KISS is a great way to go.
