This is great in many ways, but has the (single?) downside of solving for a single OPR from their Week 1 performance to their Championship performance, which is somewhat flawed. That said, I'm not sure what'd be a better way... :-/

The World Rank is a season long overall score of how a team did. If a team went to two events and scored low on the first one and scored high on the second one, the single World Rank OPR will reflect that. It is not meant to show how strong a team is going into Championship. For that I would recommend using latest score which my spreadsheet will calculate in the OPR Results tab by putting -2 in the G2 cell and click the Calc box to run a simple macro.

Nathan, this has already been done by Team 33. But it was done manually as a one time thing. The data looks interesting. I was going to automate that using the twitter feed but when I heard that there are missing matches and may be even event, I changed my mind. I don't want to spend time on something if the data is not reliable. If anyone is interested in pursuing that, you are welcome to modify my macros. All the macros in my spreadsheet are not protected. It includes all code needed to assemble and solve the matrix for you.
