If you're scouting an event you have the option to look at both public and private data. Public stats are determined by averaging the inputs. So if Team A says Team X score 6 widgets in match 2 and Team B says Team X scored 8 in match 2 then the 'public' data would say that Team X scored 7 widgets in match 2.

Each team has the option of sharing their scouting data with the public pool or keeping it private. The public data is anonymous, meaning we don't advertise the number of teams scouting an event or which teams are contributing data. Because of this you can't see a specific team's scouting data.

Alright, that answers my question, thanks.

well done I'm the PR rep of my team and I definately enjoy the format and ease of which you can navigate the info. will it be game specific or overall number of points scored by each team?

Will there be an iPod/iPhone client? IMO that would be very useful to help share/upload data.

I believe the app was designed with mobile browsers in mind. Which means at a regional without wifi, an iPod might have issues.

Off topic a bit, but Jon are the passwords hashed? or in plain text?

There are currently no plans to develop native apps for CowScout as you would still need an internet connection to access data. The site was written to be mobile friendly and if you use your iOS/Android device the site will look and function almost exactly like it would on a desktop.

Yes passwords are hashed.

I would like to suggest an Android based app as well, if you do decide to put out an Ipod/IPhone app.

Although I will say, I used my Android Phone's Web Browser to explore some of it. It worked fine, so IMO there really is no need for a specific app, other than a convenience.
