Qualification match scores and partners are the only factors. Here is my most recent
explanation.

No metric based on prior matches is a replacement for good scouting of individual robots at the competition. These OPRs are calculated for single events and are not calculated across events. The best teams at weak events tend to have a inordinately high OPRs. However IMHO, OPR is better than WLT ranking, Avg score and of course bad scouting (including shout out your team numbers from the crowd). I have seen enough teams struggle through Alliance Selection that would have been much better off running OPRnet on their regional Friday night and just using that list (and hope they pick someone who has a good list based on actual good scouting)
