Same with the separate 'bridge' calculation - since your robot's bridge skills are clearly related to your ability to balance the CP bridge.
I'm not sure if I still think it's a good idea including it in the overall OPR calculation, but it's too late for me to take it back out now.

I decided not to assign points for Coopertition points and just calculate OPR for Coopertition bridge as is. So that number represents number of Coopertition points per match. Teams can assign their own point value to it and add to the OPR of bridge points if they like. My philosophy has always been encouraging teams to customize the spreadsheet for their own need so I don't decide how they should modify the data.
Our first hand experience competing at an event this year shows that it is easier to balance with your own alliance partner than with someone who is over 50 feet away from you. This is the reason I want to look at balancing alliance bridge and coopertition bridge separately.
