It appears to be OPR-DPR (or SAA as Bongle calls it)
While OPR is relatively okay at predicting robot goodness, DPR is generally pretty bad at predicting a robot's defense capabilities. (especially in a game like this, how often does 1114 actually play defense?)
Nevermind, that appears to have been a happy coincidence for the test cases I tried. I'm curious too, what is it?
DPR is typically a good indicator of schedule difficulty though.
[EDIT for more clarification]DPR tries to extrapolate how many points an opposing alliance scored when your robot was on the field. Typically, your robot doesn't much factor into that, especially in a mostly defense free game like this. If a team has low DPR, they could be a great defender, but the chances are much better that they just got an easy schedule with opponents who didn't put up many points. Even if you play great defense on a top tier team, they'll still score a lot.[/EDIT]
