I would highly recommend any method of scouting that is not this. Championships are lost and won on scouting, and quantitative data is extremely important. (4334 for example would not have been a "gut" pick in 2012, but its a choice that got The Eh Team a division win)

That being said, I support the group scouting method where you work with other teams. Its a little harder to guarantee quality data, but its far superior to no data at all.
