1002 had a very organized scouting system
|
I know, they set up a "cyber cafe", just a bunch of computers in the lobby, in Richmond, and gave people access to their scouting database. Also 291(CIA) gave teams a floppy w/ scouitng info on it in Annapolis. The circuit runners(1002) database was useful in finding out info on 975 during the elimination who i didnt get very good notes on. All I was saying is that some teams have great scouting systems in place, such as 1002, others dont and use standings as the major way to choose alliance partners. My team wasnt ranked that high in Richmond(31st) but we were chosen for the #7 alliance and we beat the #2 seed to make the semi-finals where we would lose to the eventual champions in Teams 33(Killer Bees), 977(Star-bot), and 388(Maximum OZ). Team 33 must have a good system in place also, cus not only did they turn down the invite from the #2 seeded alliance, they chose 388, who was ranked worse than us.
Sure, the SoS aspects of the scoring system need a little work, but this system works and it is better than the previous year's systems.
