Re: Scouting as an Aliiance Captain

Definitely scout as if you were going to be an alliance captain and make a pick list no matter what. Even if you don't end up being one, a pick list can be critical if you were picked by a team that doesn't have a pick list themselves. This has happened to us a few times so always be prepared as the right pick can be the difference between winning or losing an event.

Even without a pick list being a factor, having data on all the teams in the event can lead you to win matches you otherwise wouldn't have won. In 2016 for example, if you were against a good team that could score a lot of points with close up shots on the batter, you would know that somebody on your alliance should play defense to slow down their scoring. Something as simple as this can totally change the outcome of the match.
