Go to Post This reminds me a lot of how millennials are regularly called out for simply being younger and having different perspectives. In the end it's the ones who are calling them out in unprofessional in ways that end up embarrassing themselves and looking uninformed. - Karthik [more]

Re: Which scouting app is recommended?

I've found that the "pen and paper" app is both extremely versatile as well as 100% reliable.

Re: Which scouting app is recommended?

Always remember what works for other teams might not work for you. As a mentor I let students scout however they want but I always did my own scouting. The idea of scouting is that the information you gather should make you perform better on the field if you don't get that information that is useful you just sunk a lot of resources for nothing.
Although now that I think about it I haven't sunk any resources at all into this so it might be the task of the afternoon...

This.

Make a paper scouting sheet & fill them out at competition. Organize them in folders/a binder, or if you're feeling fancy create an Excel sheet where you can compile and sort through all that data. Pen & paper is far less likely to fail you.

I highly recommend the Simbot Seminar on Scouting & Match Strategy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8syuYnXfJg
