As Emily posted earlier, we use paper scouting sheets during the matches to assess teams' performances (offensive and defensive). We enter the data collected on the scouting sheets into excel worksheets and calculate an offensive and defensive rating for each team. This data, along with observations and judgment, are used to generate our selection list.

We also use the sheets for developing our match strategy during the Qualifying Rounds. I've attached the Word Document.

If anybody is interested in the Excel file, email me privately, the file size is too large to upload (about 360 kb, I think). I created a workbook for each division that contains the tab for each team and a summary sheet that extracts the ratings onto a single sheet for sorting.
