Qualitiative Scouting

[Jarren Harkema]

To hop on what Catherine was saying, in the past we have found it very difficult to provide scouters with qualitative criteria and expect to get back useful information. What kinds of things have you measured like this in the past, and how do you use it on Friday night to help generate a pick list?

Additionally, having qualitative data requires scouters to be 100% invested in the match. How do you encourage scouters to think critically during a match, making notes of important points, and tossing out what's not important.
