Re: Scouting with other teams?

Scouting in collaboration with another team is an EXCELLENT idea! Particularly if your team is relatively small and hasn't done much scouting before. The advantages are that the work is divided and reduces the pressure on your team. I can't think of any real disadvantages to it. To make the scouting go smoother, get a list of people from both teams who will be eligible to scout, and set up 6 man rotations for every 10 matches or so.

I'm assuming you've scouted before, but if you haven't, feel free to post more questions or PM me with them. If you haven't developed a scouting database yet, PM me and I'll post the questions my team used in their database. Most teams probably don't have these resources, but since our school district gives each student a laptop, we have a PHP-based database that students access through a wireless network. We share it with the entire regional. However, if you don't all have laptops, a paper system may be best.

Post more questions if you have them.
