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

1. In the Season 18 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.

Totally disappointed in him. Looked very solid when scouted, and decent skills. But atrocious OD and STA hurts ALOT. Also because I wanted a PG trainee. Still trainable? I really don't want to spend a whole season on OD What do you say guys?
