Was talking with someone via site mail regarding optimal scout strategy and the following question came up -- couldn't recall a definitive answer being given in or after beta.

Do players get spawned into , at most, one national camp (not counting the camp that you can host on your own campus)? Or is there a possibility that the same player might get pulled into the pool of two camps (for instance, a D2 player being in both the "elite" and the "standard" camp for his region)?

One public camp. Each camp only gets players from specific states, and there is no overlap. There could be overlap with your hosted camp.

Where can you view the players that attend a camp you host?

Recruiting > Scouting > Scouting History > View all option on the line that indicates a camp

Can someone answer rednu's question, preferably citing a source. I mean other than the "person" who makes stuff up and spams the boards.

If someone wants the question answered, they should submit a ticket to WIS support. Then post the answer here :)

Except nothing in the 3.0 guide under the camp section equates with your answer. Quoting from that source:

"CAMPS: You can host your own camp and invite players within a certain radius of you, and choose the number of players you want to invite. The pool of players at these camps is also random and based on geography (within X miles of the school's location). Cost is based on number of players in the camp. It ends up working out to $60 per person. There are also 10 public camps each season scattered throughout the country, which are scheduled for early in the season. There are 2 camps per region of the country - Standard and Elite. Standard camps include a mix of D2 and D3 recruits, while Elite camps are D1 and D2. Camps enable you to discover more players, or advance the players that come by one or two levels. Each camp draws a random pool of players based on geography (players within the area covered by the camp). Any school may choose to attend these public camps. The cost for the public camps is $25 per player that attends. Public camps are in Atlanta, New York, Las Vegas, Kansas and Ohio. Public camps advance the player by one level. A private camp gives you two levels of information."

This establishes that players from specific states appear at specific camp locations, but says nothing of whether a specific D2 player could be slotted for both the Elite and the Standard camps held in, say, Las Vegas (obviously assuming said player came from a state in that respective region).
