Here is the process to scout, as documented by AstonMidhurst last season:

1. For the division you are assigned, look at the conference page (either Big 8 or Great 8 and check to see whether or not the team is bot. If the 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).

2. 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).

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

4. 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).

5. Note 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.

6. If the player is for sale, mention this to the NT or U21 manager, so that he can take down the skillset of the player.

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.

Finally, do not start scouting until the new season 12 divisions have been created. If some people start before and some after, teams can get lost in the shuffle.

Actually, if you are not sure, just wait until someone in the know gives the go-ahead to start scouting.

I'll take division II.1-II-4

I'll help out with scouting. Any divisions are fine.

I'm willing and able to help with any divisions that need scouting.

I'll help too. I don't care what divisions

I can take care of division 3 and do a good chunk of 4

I can take care of division 3 and do a good chunk of 4

I think that is quite a bit of work but I am not going to tell anyone what to do this time.

That goes for everyone else, too. I suggest saying exactly what you are doing so no one duplicates your effort.

On the other hand, if someone does want to organize things and put up a list of who is doing what, be my guest. Unless we hear from RIP, I will assume that I will be the one calling up the players and taking down their skills. So you can leave me off the list for the moment.

True, it would be quite a workload. I know many people have volunteered to help scout all the divisions for the new draft. The hard part will be definatly going through each of the IV to find the possible players to track.

Yeah, I took down most of the later division IV teams because I was bored last draft lol. Generally, there were only 2 teams in each conference though that weren't bot so it didnt take THAT long. Doing all 16 division III leagues would be pretty tough time consuming though. I will do division IV 1-8 to start off and then keep moving up if nobody takes the other leagues and I have time

I'll take Div IV 9-16.
