Defense --- Yes,

That is a tough one. We tried to scout defense, but it is a lot more subjective. How do you know for sure that a defender blocked a shot vs. it would have missed anyway? I don't know if our "system" was lacking here, or our scouts. We had 6 scouts at all times (one for each robot). We ran in roughly 2 hour shifts. Scouting is not the most glamorous job, and it is tough for them to remain fully engaged. Scoring baskets on offense is pretty easy but when it comes to judging defense I think our scouts / system fell down.

We have weighting factors for each category, and maybe we did not weight defense as high as we should have. I have a feeling it's more a problem of the scouts not paying close attention and kind of "ignoring" defense because it required them to make judgement calls...

Anyone else have some thoughts on how to effectively gauge defense?
