I don't know if it will be worth if for you, but the chance is that it will be. You should try it, as there is no other way to use that 100 budget. 
So I'll send something in a hour or two  |

Okay sent out the first reports. If anything weird appears or you have any questions let me know.
Also in case of strange names let me know. They should be much better this season than before, thanks to fjhoekie, but you never know what a name generator can come up with.  |

Probably a stupid question but is this already round two? So can we already assign riders to the scouts when we've gotten the first reports?

From the previous page:
As until round 8 no riders can be signed you can continue with your scouting until that point already.
The idea of this system is to have one round per month of racing, but since already some months have passed there is no need to make a schedule. You can decide yourself when you want to enter the next few rounds. |

Hi Bikex - liking the new scouting system, thanks for developing ICL further.
I have a few questions about whether the Scouts can multi-task?
Question 1 - talents and riders
If I assign riders to a Scout for further investigation, will that Scout also find more talents in that region in the same round?
Or do I need to keep the region the same and Rider ID columns blank for the Scout to find more talents?
Or Scouts cannot find more talents however long they stay in a region (thats why you pay for the Quantity stat)?
Question 2 - jet setting
Can a Scout investigate a new region while also looking in more detail at riders from an old region?
Question 3 - job sharing
If I have 2 or more Scouts, can one of them investigate riders found by a different Scout?
Question 4 - jet setting part 2
Can a Scout investigate riders from different regions in the same round? For example the Scout investigates Regions 1,2 and 3 in the first 3 rounds, then investigates the best rider from each region in round 4.
Sorry about all the questions but wanted to make sure I understand the way the Scouts can be used and its a long time since I did scouting in PCM if that is the basis of this system

Please always PM if you have entered scouts commands in your file, otherwise I might miss it.
@DaveTwoBob
1. The scout will find more talents, even if assigned to investigate riders further.
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes
Hope that makes everything clear for you. |

I feel that leaves the question if there is any advantage to not investigate individual riders in the next round. Will I find more talents and/or will the accuracy of all the reports be better if my scout doesn't investigate anybody closely?
Also, I see a couple of riders with impressions like [-++]. Has the scout seen that rider three times already? The AVG band isn't smaller than with riders who've only got one impression.
Last question for now: My quantity 3 scout has only found 7 riders in the region. Can I expect that many new riders in every round or is that already most of the pool of riders in that region? Cause I honestly don't like anybody I see so far, I don't need to know more about any of these 7. Throw 1505 out of the db immediately, nobody will ever hire him.

@Ripley: The number of riders investigated closely only affects the reports on these riders. Reports or quantity of new talents and reports on talents found previously in the area the scout is in are not affected.
Yes if you get [-++] the scout already gathered 3 impressions on a riders potential. A quality level 3 scout tends to get impressions in more quickly. The accuracy of the AVG column doesn't correspond to the number of impressions on a riders potential.
If you got only 7 riders of a quantiity level 3 scout that is a little bit of bad luck, as they most likely will find more than that in a month. The number found does not have anything to do with the size of the talent pool, except if all riders in it are found already.
@Abishek: Yes you can do that. |

Thanks! I'd like my scout to try a different region in round 2. Do I just edit the regionID or should I start a new row to make it clearer?

This is fun, I already got my round 2 results. No standout talent so far, though.

I've got some mixed assessments on the wage column displayed in the scouting reports. Since the participation in the scouting is much higher than what I expected, it would be possible to remove that column and make all talents signable for 100, if only 1 team is interested.
I'd like to get some more oppinions on that matter. |

How would that work? If i try to sign a rider for 180 but i'm the only one that bids on him, i get him for 100?

The first bids on talents don't include a wage. You basically just send a list of riders you are interested in and if noone else wants to sign them, you just get them for the lowest possible wage (either 100 or what is displayed in the wage column in the reports). If several teams are interested in a rider, there will be a second round of bids, in which the rider goes to the team that offers the most. |

And it's fun as well!
By the way, can we "sell" our scouting reports to other managers?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
