Re: How does your team do scouting?

In the past 294 has used a simple computer program (a field for team # and checkboxes for scoring & a few basic abilities) that uploaded to a text document unique to each computer. This was extremely difficult to compile, given that there was no way to automatically analyze the data or even to sort by team.
This year, one of our newest programmers created an HTML/PHP-based scouting app that automatically ranks teams based on scoring, defense, balancing, and match attendance (I think I'm missing a few variables . . . ). There are also several comment fields for qualitative analysis, although that's secondary. The picklist can be automatically generated, but at the Los Angeles regional we revised it based on the dossiers we had for each team.
Aside from some technical glitches it's worked pretty well, and hopefully in Spokane it'll be fairly smooth.

Good luck to all scouts
