So one day competitions come with a few additional challenges when trying to still approach picking objectively, and when still trying to get students experience like it's a real competition.

Without having a lot of human resources, it can be hard to do full data entry like an excel based scouting system might require.

At Ruckus, 5254 used a 1 sheet/team system, and when it came time to throw together a picklist, we were able to rearrange the team papers and look at the important stats as we were making our list. This only worked because there were just 36 teams at Ruckus, and we already knew what most of those teams were capable of during the season.

20 has a long running joke for Day 2 of competitions about our 'watchlist', where we put teams that could move up or down our picklist a lot based on their day 2 performance. At one event we had nearly half the event on our watch list, because so many teams had a ton of potential to improve, but also a ton of teams had a ton of potential to fall.
