A lot of teams are happy to share their data, so you can get all the number facts from them that you might not have quite enough people to gather, but you can supplement that with qualitative and more subjective data that you can use for analysis.

We did this at the Wisconsin Regional. We only 4 or 5 kids to scout so we offered to team up with team 2194. They were more than willing and I think we both enjoyed the lightened workload.
