paper: Team 33 Scouting Sheet 2012

[IKE]

The lead scout reinserts them in numerical order after each match into a folder. This is pretty easy with the 6 sheets.

There are a lot of subjective categories on our sheets. Subjective stuff is less critical but good to have opinions on. If 7 out of 8 think the team looks slow, they are probably slow. If they get mostly 5s and 4s then they are pretty good on those categpries.

A made shot is a made shot. Even if it was intended to go elsewhere. These were quite few. In general, attempts were pretty easy to see what they were shooting on. The most important thing we found was point totals, followed by hybrid points, then shooting percentage, and... Some of these, you can figure out before hand. Some you figure out by watching closely.
In my opinion, the big things we missed were quantifying blocks of inbounders and we valued shooting position a bit low at an event.

Our system is far from perfect but works pretty good for us which is the main thing. Since we implemented this a few years ago, our win loss and seedings have been better, and the kids have much more realistic views of what good and average performances are.

I liked the Idea Karthik and 1114 use with the Sim Bucks. Has anyone else done this?

If you didnt watch the video, 1114's scouters have Sim Bucks in which the students bet on robots that are in a match and try to make as much $ as possible. Its a great idea in My Opinion

I know at least one out of state team at MSC that was using this approach.
