Re: New System for Scouting?
In our 10 years, The Pink Team has found paper scouting to be cumbersome.
My recommendation as a developer is against PDA scouting. While it seems convenient, its unlikely that enough team members will have PDAs (6) to scout fully, not to mention all of those PDAs running the same OS (PalmOS, Windows Mobile, etc.) Standard laptops are much easier to come by, or be borrowed just for competition periods (this is what we do), rather than purchasing team PDAs.
Another major disadvantage to PDA scouting is that they tend to be hard to develop for, not to mention the problem of getting the data OFF of the PDA into a usable form for strategizing.
If you want some ideas or more details on how we do scouting, don't hesitate to PM me.
