Re: How did your scouting work?
We used our freely available PHP based scouting app. We had 6 scouts, 4 from our team, 2 from 694. It worked out ok, we had such a horrible view, so we missed some stuff.

I feel pretty bad though, on the day of the eliminations I tried to find some one from 694. I looked for a while, went to their pit, but was still not able to find them.

Well I finally found them. Sadly it was when we were up against them! I offered to set up an adhoc right then, but they said don't bother, if we beat you then you can. Well we beat them, and I am still pretty pissed off, because I know I would not be happy if my team put work into something and was unable to reap the rewards.

But for our alliance was our scouting data was VERY helpfully. We were the 8th alliance, 2nd pick, so normally a team in that situation does not have much of a say, but we showed them our scouting data and they were very interested, so we did allot of strategy organizing.

Well 8th seed alliance got devision finalists! so I guess it paid off.

Shout out to 1108 and 447, two $@#$@#$@#$@# good alliance partners, quite to upset to go from 8th seed to devision finalists.
