Web-Based Crowdsourced Scouting App for 2014

[Lil' Lavery]

Some potential changes I would like to see (and logic why):

1: Change the "Assist" category to "Balls Possessed"
It will be difficult to track what is actually counted as an assist on the fly, and random alliance match-ups may result in some teams having to possess a ball more than once per cycle. This change will simplify the scouting, make it more accurate, and most likely more useful as a predictive tool. Keep the received and passed categories separate, though.

2: Add a balls missed category in autonomous
Missing shots in autonomous will have significant impact on when a cycle can start, and should definitely be tracked. A missed shot is worse than a team who simply didn't attempt a shot. This could be simple integration with the multiple shots in autonomous change. Simply have three sets of rows, with the selection for each being "No Attempt," "Missed," "Low Goal," and "High Goal" with a "Hot Goal" modifier underneath.

3: Add some criteria for goaltenders, both in autonomous and tele-operated
They may not be a popular design, but they're still part of the game, and shots blocked should be tracked

4: Consider defensive metrics
Defense will be a big part of the game, but is difficult to scout objectively.



I really like the simple interface and quick data entry. Great work so far!
