I always find it a waste that teams spend hours collecting data at their event and rarely look at it again, while there are other teams spending hours watching videos of the same matches to prepare for future events.
Agreed! But I think this is something the community can come up with no? It shouldn't be that hard to come up with a server and an API to allow teams to upload their stats. We can do it, we have the skills

I've always thought that it was a bit crazy how much redundant data entry gets done at competition. I love ideas like this where we can all benefit from working together. The harder problem is convincing teams to share when they might want to guard their data to maintain a competitive advantage. There's also the problem of someone intentionally or unintentionally uploading misleading stats. It would need some kind of account system where we can reward contributors, and moderate abusers. Not easy, but doable....
