(We were once red carded at an off-season when our robot went haywire at the end of a match we'd helped win.)

This scoring contribution is not true of other potential DQs, for instance the entire team no-showing or playing without clearing inspection, but it does apply for some. It could work if you had Disable information or no-show robots (vs 5.5.6 no show teams), but DQ might be a wash this year.

Sorry, I meant to refer specifically to no-show DQs (which were specifically mentioned by the previous poster). I don't think there's match-by-match information on DQs, let alone reason-for-DQ information.. Basically, you're right.


As for how well OPR is doing, the metric I typically use is % qualifying matches predicted correctly. I have 2013 OPR nearly 1% ahead of 2012 this time last year (81.5% vs. 80.6%), though the result isn't statistically significant (fwiw, p=0.29).
