If FIRST wants to follow the sports model, tell me a sport where there is scoring that OPR is not applicable? The only recent game I know that does not work is 2007 Rack "N" Roll where the score goes exponentially up if you have a few tubes forming a chain. What can I say? The game may be good but the scoring is bad from spectators' viewpoint. It is too complicated. We need games and scoring that is simple to explain to visitors. I think I am going off topic.

I guess we can use win/loss, being alliance captain or be drafted in elimination round and how far they advance, which is what the ranking point system is for the Michigan district model.

If you don't like using OPR, do you have any suggestions what we can use?
