One of the time-honoured practices in Australian rules football is a talent scout going up country or deep into suburbia to discover a kid about whom only rumours are known, who turns out to be a superstar. Scout events in Mr Football recreate this story.
In a Scout event, you are presented with a map made up of hexagonal tiles. You are must use up event tickets to uncover the tiles to find the latest mythical junior who could be the next big thing. Some tiles contain minor prizes, most are blank, but they all show an arrow pointing to the general direction of the player: either north (up), south (down), east (right) or west (left).
Scout events are held in conjunction with coaches in your Faction, so you are all scouring the same map to find the player. Once he is found, you must convince his parents to let him come to the club with a series of visits from club personnel. Use your best players, or if you have them use your Legends cards. Each player or Legend can only be used once so if you haven’t got a Complete player and someone else in your Faction does, don’t use a lesser version of the card!
At the end of the event, all of you in the Faction earn one or more themed card packs representing the players you have jointly recruited.
