How did your scouting work?

[Not2B]

Our scouting was AMAZING this year. Go Julie for running it all. First year our scouting really was useful.

Low tech - best way to go.

Each team had a sheet. First, look at them in the pits. Then, for each match they played, the sheet would come out, and observations would be recorded.

But here was the key... shortly before each of our matches the head scouter would review all data for each team in the match. It would go onto a summary sheet, and a runner would take it down to the drive team. There, the drive team and alliances would be able to review the op-force info, as well as what our partners REALLY could do. (How many times has a team "embeleshed" their skills??)

I credit our scouters for many of our best matches. We knew EXACTLY who to interfere with, and when our alliance stacking would be faster than the other team. (Yes... I mean time... average time per tetra was important to us.)

Julie said she was going to explain our scouting in a white paper this summer, because we thought is was good and unique. And it should be good no matter the game or year.
