         15 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the sets of parameters combine to generate a player profile using a time-rolling average of registered statistical events. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , further comprising a scouting module to generate a scouting report based on a threshold-grade discrepancy between at least one of a game or session of games over any period of time with the player profile. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the scouting module generates a scouting report based on a threshold-grade discrepancy between at least one of a game or session of games over any period of time with a composite or reference player profile of a plurality of players with ordinary skill with comparable metrics.
