I'm not convinced putting out all of the documentation in a single place will make teams more sustainable but it will help with the headache of constant searching and data collection.

On top of that, unintentionally fractured communications can be overwhelming to coaches. As a raging buffoon, one of the few ways I attempt to gain a competitive advantage for 422 is trying to get plugged in to every movement in the community.
This shouldn't mean that I am in rare company for being someone who had to go through the championship website, email blasts, the blog, and team updates to piece together the entire load in procedure! It's harrowing to think about how easy FIRST makes it for coaches to be uninformed.
