I think the best Scouting System. Is one that you have one database of information, but instead of updating afterwards (excel and pen and scouting sheet) you have an automatic system where your laptop database is automatically updated because you gather information via laptops or PDA and is sent automatically to the Laptop using bluetooth or wifi. That's what we do on Cyber Blue, and last year it worked quite well.

Another trick is to keep everything on a rating basis. Data is much easier to handle that way. However, it is hard to get subjective information that way which is often a necessary part of scouting, thus you have one or two scouter taking notes on teams, drivers, etc.
