Re: Rookie scouting coordinator requesting input
Wildcat,
There is a way to test-drive both your match scouting process, and your analysis of the data you collect during the matches.
Use the 5th Gear simulator with live humans players and scouts to run a set of qual matches; and use your scouting methods as those matches unfold. Then use your analysis methods and see if you are happy with the result.
If the results look "off" you can review (using the replay feature) the pertinent matches to see if you can figure out why the scouts came up with inaccurate assessments, or to identify how to modify your metrics.
At the end you can decide if the scouting results identify the "best" potential allies for your team?
See this post ( 5th Gear Scouting-Aid Suggestion).
Also, by searching for the key words "5th Gear Scouting" you will find a couple of recent threads on the subject of scouting. At least one of them has formats and metrics you can compare to the ones you are planning to use.
Blake
