How does OPR work? 548 did quite well at Waterford, finishing 14-5 and winning both the District and Chairmans, yet we are rather low.
Thanks in advance.

Since noone linked it, here is the
ongoing thread on OPR where you can get the program and discuss it.
OPR only factors in your match scores, and your partners in qualification matches. It doesn't include penalties, opponents, or elims. OPR seeks to a calculate your "contribution" to the scores of your alliances. When explaining OPR, I like to call the robot with the highest OPR : "Qualification Matches MVP". Just like in baseball and other sports, the MVP is not always on the best teams (like Ernie Banks). The MVP doesn't always win the championship (like LeBron James). In FIRST events this year, the OPR MVP has won all but 2 (Waterford and KC).
Looking at your matches at Waterford, it looks like you got off to a slow start and put up several zeros (after penalties). I have heard you have a fast minibot, but it looks like you only deployed it twice in quals. You still managed the 9th highest OPR at Waterford. I am sure your OPR will be higher at future events.
