I think the setup is fine as it is.

As a VT you don't have to know all PRs. It's enough to read the wiki articles as soon as someone claims. As a PR it's possible to narrow down the setup to two possibilities. Not too much reading either. Scum is probably the hardest to play as a Newbie. However the likelihood that two of the 9 Newbies are scum is only 42%. Most often there is an experienced player around to help.

It's important to remember that mistakes happen. Nobody can expect perfect play of a Newbie. So if a Newbie doesn't know that he should counterclaim as doc/bulletproof, it doesn't really matter. The game isn't lost because of such an inaccuracy. The experienced players can kindly explain it afterwards and the Newbies learn something.

One simple idea: What do you think of changing the tracker into a watcher?

It would discourage scum from nightkilling the IC / strong town voices which quite often happens. Some have named it as

The change would certainly favor the town. However I don't know how much it would favor town over scum. Furthermore the tracker setups currently have the second and third lowest town winrates (42 and 44%).

Thanks for explaining why it's a bad idea.
