Here is one way to do scouting; this is AstonMidhurst's method, with a couple tweaks:

1. In the Season 15 draft scouting thread, begin a post where you will record scouting information for the divisions you are doing, and add in the information as you go.

2. Open a new window, and go the the page for the division you're working on. Look at the conference page (either Big 8 or Great 8) and check which teams are bots. If a team is bot you don't need to look at it (you can tell by seeing the last login date, since bot teams will have a blank entry).

3. If a team is not bot, open their team page in a new window (saves time by not having to go back through old pages).

4. From the team page, go to that team's roster.

5. In the roster page, sort the players by age... they are automatically sorted by youngest to oldest (meaning the players we are looking for will be at the top of the page).

6. Record the players that fit the requirements for tracking... all newly drafted players will have a DMI of 0. If there is an 18-year old that doesn't have a DMI of 0, it means that the age update has yet to take place, and he's actually supposed to be 19-years old.

7. Repeat the process above for each of the teams in the conference.

8. Repeat the process above for the other conference.

9. Repeat the process above for the other divisions.

In general, claiming scouting assignments in blocks of 4 leagues tends to work well. I'll keep all of the volunteering / completion information in this post here.

Naismith: GM-Rip (done)
II.1 - II.4: The Mogul
III.1 - III.4: O-Rod (done)
III.5 - III.8: Griffin (done)
III.9 - III.12: The Mogul (done)
III.13 - III.16: Montreal Aces (done)
IV.1 - IV.4: Eminence Front (done)
IV.5 - IV.8: The Mogul (done)
IV.9 - IV.12: The Shufflers (done)
IV.13 - IV.16: The Mogul (done)
IV.17 - IV.20: The Mogul (done)
Outer space (IV.21 - IV.64): The Mogul (done)

There are very few active teams deep in division 4, and I'll slog through those leagues. Due to tradition, I have also volunteered Rip to scout the Naismith. :P If you'd like to help with scouting, just pick a league group to volunteer for, or ask me to assign you something.

When do we need the draft scouting to be done by? I'll be busy until about Thursday, but if it doesn't need to be done until Friday or later, I can help scout.

I'll take IV. 9 - IV. 12

The scouting usually gets done within a few days of the draft. Ideally, it would be great if we're able to do that again this season, but we'll see.

*********Also, be sure to wait until the new season 15 divisions have been created, before starting to scout. This is to prevent teams from being missed due to promotion and relegation. If you're unsure, just wait to hear the go ahead******

With maintenance taking place this offseason, I think it's going to take a lot longer for teams to move to their new leagues, I think best-case scenario would probably be Wed/Thurs, so my guess is you prolly really aren't gunna get to start scouting until Thursday anyways.

I'll take whatever needs taking:)

I will take div II. I am going to be out of town all day Tuesday and Wednesday but will find a way to get it done :)

It looks like the new leagues have been created. Perhaps it is still a bit early (as the processing hasn't completely finished yet), but I'm going to go ahead and give the all clear.

Let the scouting begin! :P
