(It also doesn't distinguish between how points are scored--if you're a 50-point climber and you pick a 50-point climber because they have a high OPR, you'll probably be blanked by the 50-point climber that picked a pair of shooter/defense robots that combined for 50 points.)
Is that determined and managed by an individual team, or are the OPR maintained by an official source?
