Importance of Scouting for ALL TEAMS

[Clinton Bolinger]

This year FIRST gives us a lot of data that can be used to make smarter selections even if you don't have a full time scouting team.

By viewing the data from the event standing page (http://frclinks.com/e/r/dt) it can show who (most likely) has the best Hybrid, Bridge, or Teleop.

Just copy the data from the web site and past into Excel. Then sort by the appropriate column that you want to look at.

Personally, I adjust the point values given to the CP (CP*10=Adj. CP). To get an overall performance ranking for teams use the following equation: HP+BP+TP+Adj. CP = Total Points.

This data can also be useful to pre-scout the teams attending your next event.

I have attached the Detroit Data as an example.
