SQL Scouting Algorithms

[BenjiSG]

The really important thing when ranking teams based on your scouting is to make sure that you score them according to your priorities- not necessarily their overall performance. If you breach, and want a shooting team, then obviously you would make sure that shooting contributes more to placement on your list than breaching. If you can't do a category of defense (or do it really badly), but want to ensure you can still breach, then you would obviously prioritize that defense.

During our most recent competition, we ranked teams in a spreadsheet according to the four categories we found to be most relevant to us (cheval de frise, other defenses, goals, and auto) with that order of priority, and scored each category from 0-3 for each team, with 0 being that they can't do it, and 3 being that they do it quickly many times.

Ultimately, your scouting should be based around what suits your team, even if you can't have someone tracking every single match.
