Is alliance selection usually this bad?

That's because there is no real single way to scout. Many teams do it different ways. Some teams go strictly off the Scoreboard and ranking. Others take other things into account. Some do both. Some teams run a server with a dedicated scouting team in the stands. We've done this with great success since 2008.

There isn't a right or wrong way to scout. It really comes down to what factors are important to your team.
