I must say that I’m more than a bit curious as to the point of your preliminary scouting sheet. Many of the questions on that sheet are completely irrelevant to strategy and alliance selection.
I am heavily leaning towards completely bagging “pit scouting” this year. In this game it seems to be pretty worthless; either you can score orbit balls or you can’t. If I am wondering about a team’s empty cell/airlock capabilities I may go ask them, but we probably won’t be filling out a sheet for every team this year.
I agree alot of the information on the preliminary scouting sheet is irrelevant, to scouting, as it is meant to be used so you will have a way to decide who you would like to be alliance partners with in the eliminations.
The other one is way to complicated, you will want something you can fill out pretty wuickly and still have an accurate idea what they can do.
