[quote=Anonymous]HUDL
Pros:
  - better for multi-sport programs, can handle any sport
  - allows for use of any kind of footage, from any source. Generally can produce higher quality highlight highlight reels
  - allows for more custom tailoring of highlight footage
  - can isolate more types of set pieces than Trace, making it more useful for coaches
  - because you are taking your own video, interfaces better with InStat
Cons
  - still requires someone to take video, which can be difficult
  - requires you to pay Hudl to mark events, or a parent to do it
  - can be slightly more expensive
  - slightly harder for kids to use
Verdict: If you can get over the extra requirements that HUDL poses, it's a more capable system.

Trace
Pros:
  - easy camera setup, no pan/tilt operator required
  - pretty good customer service
  - reasonable college coach following
  - easy for kids to produce their own video compilations
Cons:
  - lousy video quality, can be hard to see action on far side or near goals
  - tracers fail fairly often, players miss "events"
  - cannot be used for skills video
  - cannot interface with anything but Trace cameras
Verdict: Budget gear for the masses. A nice idea when it works. Probably good enough for most folks.
