Well, now that we know what the game is, it appears that scouting will indeed play a role this year, especially when it comes time to select teams for the elimination matches. In an attempt to ease the scouting load on teams, especially at the national competition, the GMCIA is returning for 2001. For those of you who are not familiar with the project, GMCIA is a cooperative scouting system, with multiple teams gathering information to be shared among all teams. It also includes an Intranet system at the national competition, allowing for multiple people to access the data simultaneously. Also, there is the capability to enter information using any Palm OS device.
If you are interested in participating with this project for 2001, please e-mail me at
njsmith@online.emich.edu. There is also an e-mail mailing list that you can subscribe to by sending an e-mail to
gmcia-subscribe@egroups.com
See you at the competition!
