Ether, I added columns to show adjusted OPR bridge points and overall OPR and use that for ranking purpose. Teams can change the number of points for each Coop bridge point but the ranking will not be recalculated. I am still trying to write out in .xls format but without any luck so far.

My reasoning was that the 2 CP points earned by each alliance could have been 10 bridge points for each alliance if their alliance members had decided to go for the alliance bridges instead of the CP bridge.
Really, I should've just left the adjustment only in the bridge category rather than also including it in the overall OPR as well. But several sets of stats had already been posted, and removing it would make week-against-week comparisons difficult. The reasoning for including it in overall OPR was that teams who were on the CP bridge every match rather than the alliance bridges would rank very low in the "prestigious" overall OPR, even though they could've ranked quite high if only they'd balanced a different bridge.
