No apologies needed!

I agree with your comments regarding Lunacy. We have a very formal and extensive scouting program. We had some limited success with highlighting teams based on OPR in the past (as a way of trying to find out teams that were less than successful in the W/L column, mainly due to strength of schedule issues.), but it was never the main part of our program.

To many teams, I believe, look for that easy way of scouting, when it is hard work and determination that will really pay out the rewards.

My main question in this thread is two-fold ...

1. Does anyone see any use of OPR or DPR this year? If so, how?
2. Other than the items that I intend on scouting (for scoring in matches), as seen in the first post, do you all see other things that should be tracked, watched, or calculated?

Thanks!

Steve
