Scouters - what do you look for when you scout?
Anyone have any reasons why 2nd round picks seemed pretty bad this year?

I personally think that a lot of the 2nd round picks were very good! I am biased for one of those choices (thanks 346 and 1771) but all-in-all the 2nd picks did exactly what the alliance needed them for. Whether it was being able to score while the other alliance members were getting hammered or being able to hold off an incoming onslaught of balls from the opponent, I feel that the teams were picked to complement the other two teams' needs.
And as with every year, there are a lot of teams, which means a lot of decisions and trying to make an guess at what will serve them correctly. This consequently means that there will be teams left out of the elims. I mean there were 39 regional wins in our division alone, and with only 24 spots, there would be 15 regional wins unaccounted for in the elims AT LEAST!
The only thing you can do at championships, is try to make your strengths well known and hope that they fit with other teams in the division.
