Scouting, is it important?

[carbuff2228]

hi i am 2228 scouting and strategy lead for the four years ive been on the team. The person who started this thread is the coach for my team as well. I see what he means by how scouting is useless. I have to slightly agree with him just do to not enough commiitment from people match scouting for our team. I think those of us who love scouting like me understand how criticial and important it is. I mean people tell me a team number and i know the name andf where there from and i am extremely dedicated. But i think you need just a few good eyes match scouting and do some pit scouting and youll do fine. Our scouting this year in North Carolina helped us pick two good teams 401 hokie guard and 23614 mars and we did decent in the QF. But i think youll always need scouting and is the most important thing to do at regionals
