Re: How do you scout?

The Thursday questionnaires are primarily used for the first couple matches before actual scouting data has been collected (combined with some generic notes on performance from practice day, which are taken with a grain of salt). They are also useful for seeing what teams still have work to be done (shows both that they won't be at 100% and that they have potential to improve).
Match data is what's incredibly useful for both match planning, and more importantly, creating pick lists for the elimination rounds (which should be done even if you aren't likely to be in the top 8). Take data on all game aspects, such as all scoring, penalties, etc.
Try to keep match notes as objective as possible, to provide consistent valid data regardless of note taker. Some subjective data should be taken (such as if the team appeared controlled, or were they struggling around the field), but keep it minimal.
