Re: Week--2 All regionals OPR

Thanks Bongle for looking into it. That's what Joe Ross was telling me also.

In terms of assigning 5 bridge points for each coop point, one can argue that it is harder to balance on the coop bridge when your partner is more than 50 feet away and therefore deserves more points. The opposing argument is for alliance selection, teams are not looking for alliance partners who can balance on coopertition bridge so 5 points would be right.

The reason why I report hybrid, bridge, teleop and coop as is is because I use these numbers during the competition and not only afterwards. I want to know who is the strongest teams to go to the coop bridge etc.

However when I publish results from now on, in order to be consistent as a community, I will report the adjusted overall OPR and adjusted bridge score in additional columns in Excel the same way that Bongle advocated. I agree with how it is done. If somebody using my spreadsheet wants to change the number of points to be added, they will be able to easily change the number 5to something else.

I have a question for the community. When I publish the True World Ranking from now on, which one should I use? Should I use the original or adjusted overall OPR? For those of you who have not followed the True World Ranking, it is calculated by putting in every match of every regional/district including elimination rounds and every team who has played into a giant matrix. This way all interactions between teams will be accounted for and there is no uncertainty about comparing the OPR from one event to another because one event is stronger. Lumping all the OPRs calculated from separated events together and sorting them is not the best way to do it.
